2shepherdG4165 1the flockG4168 of GodG2316 amongG1722 you, exercisingG1983 oversightG1983, 2not underG317 compulsionG317 but voluntarilyG1596, accordingG2596 to the will of GodG2316; and 3not 4withG147 greedG147 but with eagernessG4290; 3norG3366 yet as 5domineeringG2634 overG2634 6thoseG3588 assignedG2819 toG2819 your careG2819, but by 7provingG1096 toG1096 beG1096 8 9examplesG5179 to the flockG4168. 4And when the ChiefG750 10ShepherdG750 appearsG5319, you will receiveG2865 the 11unfadingG262 12 13crownG4735 of gloryG1391. 5 14You 15youngerG3501 menG3501, likewiseG3668, 16beG5293 subjectG5293 to your eldersG4245; and allG3956 of you, clotheG1463 yourselves with 17humilityG5012 toward oneG240 anotherG240, becauseG3754 18GodG2316 is opposedG498 to the proudG5244, but He givesG1325 graceG5485 to the humbleG5011.

6ThereforeG3767 19humbleG5013 yourselves underG5259 the mightyG2900 handG5495 of GodG2316, soG2443 thatG2443 He may exaltG5312 you at the properG2540 timeG2540, 7having castG1977 allG3956 your 20anxietyG3308 on Him, becauseG3754 He caresG3199 aboutG4012 you. 8 21Be of soberG3525 spirit, 22be on the alertG1127. Your adversaryG476, 23the devilG1228, prowlsG4043 aroundG4043 likeG5613 a roaringG5612 24lionG3023, seekingG2212 someoneG5100 to devourG2666. 9 25 26So resistG436 him, 27firmG4731 in your faithG4102, knowingG3609 that 28the sameG846 experiencesG3588 of sufferingG3804 are being accomplishedG2005 by your 29brothersG81 andG81 sistersG81 who are in the worldG2889. 10After you have sufferedG3958 30for a littleG3641 whileG3641, the 31GodG2316 of allG3956 graceG5485, who 32calledG2564 you to His 33eternalG166 gloryG1391 in ChristG5547, will HimselfG846 34perfectG2675, 35confirmG4741, strengthenG4599, and establishG2311 you. 11 36To Him be dominionG2904 foreverG165 and everG165. AmenG281.
