# ***1 PETER 5***

---

*Shepherd the Flock of God*

\[1\] So I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, as well as a partaker in the glory that is going to be revealed: \[2\] shepherd the flock of God that is among you, exercising oversight, not under compulsion, but willingly, as God would have you; not for shameful gain, but eagerly; \[3\] not domineering over those in your charge, but being examples to the flock. \[4\] And when the chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the unfading crown of glory. \[5\] Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”

\[6\] Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, \[7\] casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. \[8\] Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. \[9\] Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world. \[10\] And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. \[11\] To him be the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

*Final Greetings*

\[12\] By Silvanus, a faithful brother as I regard him, I have written briefly to you, exhorting and declaring that this is the true grace of God. Stand firm in it. \[13\] She who is at Babylon, who is likewise chosen, sends you greetings, and so does Mark, my son. \[14\] Greet one another with the kiss of love.

Peace to all of you who are in Christ. (ESV)
