Serve
God Willingly |

|
1 Peter 5:1
|
|
Therefore, I exhort the elders among you, as
your fellow elder and witness of the sufferings of Christ, and a partaker also
of the glory that is to be revealed, |
|
|
|
|
|
1 Peter 5:2
|
|
shepherd the flock of God among you, exercising
oversight not under compulsion, but voluntarily, according to the will of God;
and not for sordid gain, but with eagerness; |
| |
|
|
|
1 Peter 5:3
|
|
nor yet as lording it over those allotted to
your charge, but proving to be examples to the flock. |
| |
|
|
|
1 Peter 5:4
|
|
And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will
receive the unfading crown of glory. |
| |
|
|
|
1 Peter 5:5
|
|
You younger men, likewise, be subject to your
elders; and all of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, for
GOD IS OPPOSED TO THE PROUD, BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE. |
| |
|
|
|
1 Peter 5:6
|
|
Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty
hand of God, that He may exalt you at the proper time, |
| |
|
|
|
1 Peter 5:7
|
|
casting all your anxiety on Him, because He
cares for you. |
|
|
|
|
1 Peter 5:8
|
|
Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary,
the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. |
|
|
|
|
1 Peter 5:9
|
|
But resist him, firm in your faith, knowing
that the same experiences of suffering are being accomplished by your brethren
who are in the world. |
|
|
|
|
1 Peter 5:10
|
|
After you have suffered for a little while,
the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself
perfect, confirm, strengthen and establish you. |
|
|
|
|
1 Peter 5:11
|
|
To Him be dominion forever and ever. Amen. |
|
|
|
|
1 Peter 5:12
|
|
Through Silvanus, our faithful brother (for
so I regard him), I have written to you briefly, exhorting and testifying that
this is the true grace of God. Stand firm in it! |
|
|
|
|
1 Peter 5:13
|
|
She who is in Babylon, chosen together with
you, sends you greetings, and so does my son, Mark. |
|
|
|
|
1 Peter 5:14
|
|
Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace
be to you all who are in Christ. |
