Serve God Willingly

11ThereforeG3767, I urgeG3870 eldersG4245 amongG1722 you, as your 2fellowG4850 elderG4850 and a 3witnessG3144 of the sufferingsG3804 of ChristG5547, and one who is alsoG2532 a 45fellowG2844 partakerG2844 of the gloryG1391 that is to be revealedG601: 2shepherdG4165 6the flockG4168 of GodG2316 amongG1722 you, exercisingG1983 oversightG1983, 7not underG317 compulsionG317 but voluntarilyG1596, accordingG2596 to the will of GodG2316; and 8not 9withG147 greedG147 but with eagernessG4290; 3norG3366 yet as 10domineeringG2634 overG2634 11thoseG3588 assignedG2819 toG2819 your careG2819, but by 12provingG1096 toG1096 beG1096 1314examplesG5179 to the flockG4168. 4And when the ChiefG750 15ShepherdG750 appearsG5319, you will receiveG2865 the 16unfadingG262 1718crownG4735 of gloryG1391. 519You 20youngerG3501 menG3501, likewiseG3668, 21beG5293 subjectG5293 to your eldersG4245; and allG3956 of you, clotheG1463 yourselves with 22humilityG5012 toward oneG240 anotherG240, becauseG3754 23GodG2316 is opposedG498 to the proudG5244, but He givesG1325 graceG5485 to the humbleG5011.

6ThereforeG3767 24humbleG5013 yourselves underG5259 the mightyG2900 handG5495 of GodG2316, soG2443 thatG2443 He may exaltG5312 you at the properG2540 timeG2540, 7having castG1977 allG3956 your 25anxietyG3308 on Him, becauseG3754 He caresG3199 aboutG4012 you. 826Be of soberG3525 spirit, 27be on the alertG1127. Your adversaryG476, 28the devilG1228, prowlsG4043 aroundG4043 likeG5613 a roaringG5612 29lionG3023, seekingG2212 someoneG5100 to devourG2666. 93031So resistG436 him, 32firmG4731 in your faithG4102, knowingG3609 that 33the sameG846 experiencesG3588 of sufferingG3804 are being accomplishedG2005 by your 34brothersG81 andG81 sistersG81 who are in the worldG2889. 10After you have sufferedG3958 35for a littleG3641 whileG3641, the 36GodG2316 of allG3956 graceG5485, who 37calledG2564 you to His 38eternalG166 gloryG1391 in ChristG5547, will HimselfG846 39perfectG2675, 40confirmG4741, strengthenG4599, and establishG2311 you. 1141To Him be dominionG2904 foreverG165 and everG165. AmenG281.

12ThroughG1223 42SilvanusG4610, our faithfulG4103 brotherG80 43(for soG5613 I regardG3049 him), 44I have writtenG1125 to you brieflyG3641, 45exhortingG3870 and testifyingG1957 that thisG3778 is 46the trueG227 graceG5485 of GodG2316. 47StandG2476 firmG2476 in it! 13She who is in BabylonG897, chosenG4899 togetherG4899 with you, sendsG782 you greetingsG782, and so does my sonG5207, 48MarkG3138. 1449GreetG782 oneG240 anotherG240 with a kissG5370 of loveG26.

50PeaceG1515 be to you allG3956 whoG3588 are in ChristG5547.
