1 Peter Chapter 5American Standard2: Tend the flock of God which is among you, exercising the oversight, not of constraint, but willingly, according to [the will of] God; nor yet for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; 3: neither as lording it over the charge allotted to you, but making yourselves ensamples to the flock. 4: And when the chief Shepherd shall be manifested, ye shall receive the crown of glory that fadeth not away. 5: Likewise, ye younger, be subject unto the elder. Yea, all of you gird yourselves with humility, to serve one another: for God resisteth the proud, but giveth 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 anxiety upon him, because he careth for you. 8: Be sober, be watchful: your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour, 9: whom withstand stedfast in your faith, knowing that the same sufferings are accomplished in your brethren who are in the world. 10: And the God of all grace, who called you unto his eternal glory in Christ, after that ye have suffered a little while, shall himself perfect, establish, strengthen you. 11: To him [be] the dominion for ever and ever. Amen. 12: By Silvanus, our faithful brother, as I account [him], I have written unto you briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God. Stand ye fast therein. 13: She that is in Babylon, elect together with [you], saluteth you; and [so doth] Mark my son. 14: Salute one another with a kiss of love. Peace be unto you all that are in Christ.
