1 Peter 5 :: Revised Standard Version (RSV)

1Pe 5:1So 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 to be revealed.
1Pe 5:2Tend the flock of God that is your charge, not by constraint but willingly, not for shameful gain but eagerly,
1Pe 5:3not as domineering over those in your charge but being examples to the flock.
1Pe 5:4And when the chief Shepherd is manifested you will obtain the unfading crown of glory.
1Pe 5:5Likewise you that 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."

1Pe 5:10And 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, establish, and strengthen you.
1Pe 5:11To him be the dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
1Pe 5:12By Silva'nus, 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 fast in it.
1Pe 5:13She who is at Babylon, who is likewise chosen, sends you greetings; and so does my son Mark.
1Pe 5:14Greet one another with the kiss of love. Peace to all of you that are in Christ.
