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