1 Peter Chapter 5 / WOR

World English Bible
1 Peter, Chapter 5

   1: I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and who will also share in the glory that will be revealed.
   2: Shepherd the flock of God which is among you, exercising the oversight, not under compulsion, but voluntarily, not for dishonest gain, but willingly;
   3: neither as lording it over the charge allotted to you, but making yourselves examples to the flock.
   4: When the chief Shepherd is revealed, you will receive the crown of glory that doesn't fade away.
   5: Likewise, you younger ones, be subject to the elder. Yes, all of you gird yourselves with humility, to subject yourselves to one another; for "God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble."
   6: Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time;
   7: casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you.
   8: Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
   9: Withstand him steadfast in your faith, knowing that your brothers who are in the world are undergoing the same sufferings.
   10: But may the God of all grace (who called you to his eternal glory by Christ Jesus), after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.
   11: To him be the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen.
   12: Through Silvanus, our faithful brother, as I consider him, I have written to you briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God in which you stand.
   13: She who is in Babylon, elect together with you, greets you; and so does Mark, my son.
   14: Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace be to you all who are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
