[KJV] chapters
[1],[2],[3],[4],
1st Epistle of Peter 5
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
berevealed:
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.
