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