1 Peter 5:2-8
2Be shepherdsG4165 of God’sG2316 flockG4168 that is amongG1722 youG4771, watching over themG19831 notG3361 out of compulsionG317, butG235 willinglyG1596, as GodG2316 would have youG2596;2 notG3366 out of greedG147, butG235 out of eagernessG4290; 3notG3366 lording it overG5613G2634 those entrusted to youG2819, butG235 beingG1096 examplesG5179 to theG3588 flockG4168. 4AndG2532 when theG3588 Chief ShepherdG750 appearsG5319, you will receiveG2865 theG3588 crownG4735 of gloryG1391 that will never fade awayG262.
5Young menG3501, in the same wayG3668, submit yourselvesG5293 to your eldersG4245. AndG1161 allG3956 of you, clothe yourselvesG1463 with humilityG5012 toward one anotherG240, becauseG3754,
6Humble yourselvesG5013, thereforeG3767, underG5259 God’sG2316 mightyG2900 handG5495, so thatG2443 inG1722 due timeG2540 He may exaltG5312 youG4771. 7CastG1977 allG3956 yourG4771 anxietyG3308 onG1909 HimG846, becauseG3754 HeG846 caresG3199 forG4012 youG4771.
8Be sober-mindedG3525 and alertG1127. YourG4771 adversaryG476 theG3588 devilG1228 prowls aroundG4043 likeG5613 a roaringG5612 lionG3023, seekingG2212 someone to devourG2666.
