King James Version (KJV)

1 Peter - Chapter 5

1Pe 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 be revealed:
1Pe 5:2		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;
1Pe 5:3		Neither as being lords over [God's] heritage, but being ensamples to the flock.
1Pe 5:4		And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.
1Pe 5:5	¶	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.
1Pe 5:6		Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
1Pe 5:7		Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
1Pe 5:8		Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
1Pe 5:9		Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
1Pe 5:10		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].
1Pe 5:11		To him [be] glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
1Pe 5:12	¶	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.
1Pe 5:13		The [church that is] at Babylon, elected together with [you], saluteth you; and [so doth] Marcus my son.
1Pe 5:14		Greet ye one another with a kiss of charity. Peace [be] with you all that are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
