1The 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:⇆ compare2Feed 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;⇆ compare3Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being examples to the flock.⇆ compare4And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.⇆ compare5Likewise, 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.⇆ compare6Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:⇆ compare7Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.⇆ compare8Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:⇆ compare9Whom resist steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.⇆ compare10But 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, establish, strengthen, settle you.⇆ compare11To him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.⇆ compare12By 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.⇆ compare13The church that is at Babylon, elected together with you, saluteth you; and so doth Mark my son.⇆ compare14Greet ye one another with a kiss of charity. Peace be with you all that are in Christ Jesus. Amen.⇆ compare
