1 Peter 5

5^aThe elders which are among you I exhort, who am ^balso an elder, and ^ca witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also ^da partaker of the glory that shall be revealed: ^2eFeed the flock of God ^||which is among you, ^ftaking the oversight thereof, ^gnot by constraint, but willingly; ^hnot for filthy lucre, but ⁱof a ready mind; ³Neither as ^||kbeing lords over ^lGod’s heritage, but ^ebeing ^mensamples to the flock. ⁴And when ⁿthe chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall ^oreceive ^pa crown of glory ^qthat fadeth not away. ⁵Likewise, ^rye younger, submit yourselves unto ^athe elder. Yea, ^sall of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with ^sshumility: for ^tGod resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. ^6uHumble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: ^7vCasting all your care upon him; for ^whe careth for you. ^8xBe sober, ^ybe vigilant; because your adversary ^zthe devil, ^aas a roaring lion, ^bwalketh about, seeking whom he may devour: ^9cWhom resist ^dstedfast in the faith, knowing that ^ethe same afflictions ^fare accomplished in your ^gbrethren that are in the world. ¹⁰But the God of all grace, ^hwho hath called us unto ⁱhis eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered ^ka while, ^lmake you perfect, ^mstablish, strengthen, ⁿsettle you. ^11oTo him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

¹²By ^pSilvanus, a faithful brother unto you, as ^qI suppose, I have written ^rbriefly, exhorting, and ^stestifying that this is the true ^tgrace of God ^uwherein ye stand. ¹³The church that is at ^vBabylon, ^welected together with you, saluteth you; and so doth ^xMarcus my son. ^14yGreet ye one another with a kiss of charity. ^zPeace be with you all that are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
