1 Peter 5

<< 1 Peter 5 >>
King James Bible with Strong's Numbers
 

1 The elders which are among you I exhort who am also an elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed 2 Feed the flock of God which is among you taking the oversight thereof not by constraint but willingly not for filthy lucre but of a ready mind 3 Neither as being lords over God's heritage but being ensamples to the flock 4 And when the chief Shepherd shall appear ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away 5 Likewise ye younger submit yourselves unto the elder Yea all of you be subject one to another and be clothed with humility for God resisteth the proud and 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 care upon him for he careth for you 8 Be sober be vigilant because your adversary the devil as a roaring lion walketh about seeking whom he may devour 9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world 10 But the God of all grace who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus after that ye have suffered a while __ make you perfect stablish strengthen settle you 11 To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever Amen

12 By Silvanus a faithful brother unto you as I suppose I have written briefly __ exhorting and testifying that this is the true. grace of God wherein __ ye stand 13 The church that is at Babylon elected together with you saluteth you and so doth Marcus my son 14 Greet ye one another with a kiss of charity Peace be with you all that are in Christ Jesus Amen
