Shepherd the Flock of God

5So I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, as well as a partaker in the glory that is going to be revealed:G4245G1722G5213G3870G3588G4850G2532G3144G3804G5547G2532G2844G1391G3195G601 2shepherd the flock of God that is among you, exercising oversight, not under compulsion, but willingly, as God would have you; not for shameful gain, but eagerly;G4165G4168G2316G1722G5213G1983G3361G317G235G1596G3366G147G235G4290 3not domineering over those in your charge, but being examples to the flock.G3366G5613G2634G2819G235G1096G5179G4168 4And when the chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the unfading crown of glory.G2532G750G5319G2865G4735G1391G262 5Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for "God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble."G3668G3501G5293G4245G1161G3956G5293G240G1463G5012G3754G2316G498G5244G1161G1325G5485G5011 6Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you,G5013G3767G5259G2900G5495G2316G2443G5312G5209G1722G2540 7casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.G1977G3956G5216G3308G1909G846G3754G846G3199G4012G5216 8Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.G3525G1127G3754G5216G476G1228G5613G5612G3023G4043G2212G5101G2666 9Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world.G3739G436G4731G4102G1492G846G3804G2005G5216G81G1722G2889 10And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.G1161G2316G3956G5485G3588G2564G2248G1519G846G166G1391G1722G5547G2424G3958G3641G846G2675G5209G2675G4741G4599G2311 11To him be the dominion forever and ever. Amen.G846G1391G2532G2904G1519G165G165G281

Final Greetings

12By Silvanus, a faithful brother as I regard him, I have written briefly to you, exhorting and declaring that this is the true grace of God. Stand firm in it.G1223G4610G4103G80G5213G5613G3049G1125G1223G3641G3870G2532G1957G5026G1511G227G5485G2316G1519G3739G2476 13She who is at Babylon, who is likewise chosen, sends you greetings, and so does Mark, my son.G1722G897G4899G782G5209G2532G3138G3450G5207 14Greet one another with the kiss of love. Peace to all of you who are in Christ.G782G240G1722G5370G26G1515G5213G3956G1722G5547G2424G281
