1Peter 5

Serve God Willingly

5Therefore, 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,G4245G1722G5213G3870G3588G4850G2532G3144G3804G5547G2532G2844G1391G3195G6012shepherd 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;G4165G4168G2316G1722G5213G1983G3361G317G235G1596G3366G147G235G42903nor yet as lording it over those allotted to your charge, but proving to be examples to the flock.G3366G5613G2634G2819G235G1096G5179G41684And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the unfading crown of glory.G2532G750G5319G2865G4735G1391G2625You 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.G3668G3501G5293G4245G1161G3956G5293G240G1463G5012G3754G2316G498G5244G1161G1325G5485G50116Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at the proper time,G5013G3767G5259G2900G5495G2316G2443G5312G5209G1722G25407casting all your anxiety upon Him, because He cares for you.G1977G3956G5216G3308G1909G846G3754G846G3199G4012G52168Be of sober [spirit,] be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls about like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.G3525G1127G3754G5216G476G1228G5613G5612G3023G4043G2212G5101G26669But resist him, firm in [your] faith, knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being accomplished by your brethren who are in the world.G3739G436G4731G4102G1492G846G3804G2005G5216G81G1722G288910And 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.G1161G2316G3956G5485G3588G2564G2248G1519G846G166G1391G1722G5547G2424G3958G3641G846G2675G5209G2675G4741G4599G231111To Him [be] dominion forever and ever. Amen.G846G1391G2532G2904G1519G165G165G28112Through 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!G1223G4610G4103G80G5213G5613G3049G1125G1223G3641G3870G2532G1957G5026G1511G227G5485G2316G1519G3739G247613She who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, sends you greetings, and [so does] my son, Mark.G1722G897G4899G782G5209G2532G3138G3450G520714Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace be to you all who are in Christ.G782G240G1722G5370G26G1515G5213G3956G1722G5547G2424G281
