(1pe 5:1) The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:
(1pe 5:2) Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight {thereof}, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;
(1pe 5:3) Neither as being lords over {God's} heritage, but being ensamples to the flock.
(1pe 5:4) And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.
(1pe 5:5) Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all {of you} be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.
(1pe 5:6) Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
(1pe 5:7) Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
(1pe 5:8) Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
(1pe 5:9) Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
(1pe 5:10) But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle {you}.
(1pe 5:11) To him {be} glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
(1pe 5:12) By Silvanus, a faithful brother unto you, as I suppose, I have written briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God wherein ye stand.
(1pe 5:13) The {church that is} at Babylon, elected together with {you}, saluteth you; and {so doth} Marcus my son.
(1pe 5:14) Greet ye one another with a kiss of charity. Peace {be} with you all that are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
