About the Elders
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 5:1 -

I exhort the elders among you as a fellow elder and witness to the sufferings of Christ, as well as one who shares in the glory about to be revealed:

Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 5:2 -

Shepherd God’s flock among you, not overseeing[fn] out of compulsion but willingly, as God would have you;[fn] not out of greed for money but eagerly;

Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 5:3 -

not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock.

Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 5:4 -

And when the chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the unfading crown of glory.

Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 5:5 -

In the same way, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. All of you clothe yourselves with[fn] humility toward one another, because

God resists the proud

but gives grace to the humble.

Conclusion

casting all your cares on him, because he cares about you.

To him be dominion[fn] forever.[fn] Amen.

Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 5:12 -

Through Silvanus,[fn] a faithful brother (as I consider him), I have written to you briefly in order to encourage you and to testify that this is the true grace of God. Stand firm in it!

Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace to all of you who are in Christ.[fn]
