        1 Peter 5
      
    </p>

<p>

      
         
      
      
        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:
      
    <br/>

      
         2.  Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof,
      
      
        <b> not by constraint, but willingly, not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind,</b>
      
    <br/>

      
        <b> 3.  Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples to the flock.</b>
      
    <br/>

      
         4.  And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that 
        fadeth not away.
      
    <br/>

      
         5.  Likewise, ye younger, 
      
      
        <b>submit yourselves unto the elder. </b>
      
      
        Yea, 
      
      
        <b>all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth 
        the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.</b>
      
    <br/>

      
         6.  Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in 
        due time:
      
    <br/>

      
         
      
      
        <b>7.  Casting all your care upon him, for he careth for you.</b>
      
    <br/>

      
        <b> </b>
      
      
        <i><b>8.  Be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, 
        walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:</b></i>
      
    <br/>

      
        <i><b> 9.  Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are 
        accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.</b></i>
      
    <br/>

      
        <i><b> 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.</b></i>
      
    <br/>

      
         11.  To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
      
    <br/>

      
         12.  By
      
      
        <b> Silvanus</b>
      
      
        , 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.
      
    <br/>

      
         13.  The church that is at Babylon, elected together with you, saluteth you, and so doth 
      
      
        <b>Marcus </b>
      
      
        my son.
      
    <br/>

      
         14.  Greet ye one another with a kiss of charity. Peace be with you all that are in 
        Christ Jesus. Amen.
