1 Peter 5 (WEBP)

[1] Therefore I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and who will also share in the glory that will be revealed:
[2] shepherd the flock of God which is among you, exercising the oversight, not under compulsion, but voluntarily; not for dishonest gain, but willingly;
[3] not as lording it over those entrusted to you, but making yourselves examples to the flock.
[4] When the chief Shepherd is revealed, you will receive the crown of glory that doesn’t fade away.
[5] Likewise, you younger ones, be subject to the elder. Yes, all of you clothe yourselves with humility and subject yourselves to one another; for “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”
[6] Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time,
[7] casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you.
[8] Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
[9] Withstand him steadfast in your faith, knowing that your brothers who are in the world are undergoing the same sufferings.
[10] But may the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.
[11] To him be the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen.
[12] Through Silvanus, our faithful brother, as I consider him, I have written to you briefly, exhorting and testifying that this is the true grace of God in which you stand.
[13] She who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, greets you. So does Mark, my son.
[14] Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace be to all of you who are in Christ Jesus. Amen.

1 Peter 5 (KJVS)

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