1 Peter 5

American Standard Version

1The eldersG4245 thereforeG3767 among you I exhortG3870, who am a fellow-elder, and a witnessG3144 of the sufferings of ChristG5547, who am alsoG2532 a partakerG2844 of the gloryG1391 that shall be revealedG601: 2Tend the flockG4168 of GodG2316 which is among you, exercising the oversight, not of constraint, but willinglyG1596, accordingG2596 to the will of GodG2316; nor yetG235 for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; 3neither as lording it over the charge allotted to you, but making yourselves ensamples to the flockG4168. 4And when the chief Shepherd shall be manifestedG5319, ye shall receiveG2865 the crownG4735 of gloryG1391 that fadeth not away. 5LikewiseG3668, ye younger, be subjectG5293 unto the elderG4245. Yea, all of you gird yourselves with humilityG5012, to serve oneG240 another: for GodG2316 resisteth the proud, but giveth graceG5485 to the humbleG5011. 6HumbleG5013 yourselvesG4771 thereforeG3767 under the mighty handG5495 of GodG2316, that he may exaltG5312 you in due timeG2540; 7castingG1977 all your anxiety upon him, because he careth for you. 8Be soberG3525, be watchful: your adversaryG476 the devilG1228, as a roaring lionG3023, walketh about, seekingG2212 whom he may devour: 9whom withstand stedfast in your faithG4102, knowing that the sameG846 sufferings are accomplished in your brethren who are in the worldG2889. 10And the GodG2316 of all graceG5485, who calledG2564 you unto his eternalG166 gloryG1391 in ChristG5547, after that ye have sufferedG3958 a littleG3641 while, shall himself perfect, establish, strengthenG4741 you. 11To him be the dominionG2904 for ever and ever. AmenG281.

12By SilvanusG4610, our faithfulG4103 brotherG80, as I accountG1223him, I have writtenG1125 unto you briefly, exhortingG3870, and testifying that this isG1510 the trueG227 graceG5485 of GodG2316: standG2476 ye fast therein. 13She that is in BabylonG897, elect together with you, saluteth you; and so doth MarkG3138 my sonG5207. 14Salute oneG240 another with a kissG5370 of loveG26.

PeaceG1515 be unto you all that are in ChristG5547.
