1 Peter 5

Translation KJV

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: Leadership

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; Leadership Serving Others

3 Neither as being lords over [God’s] heritage, but being ensamples to the flock. Leadership Serving Others

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

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. Leadership Humility Grace Pride

6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: Leadership Fear Humility God’s Love Pride

7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. Calm Grief Encouraging Others Leadership Perseverance Fear Peace Depression Discouragement Anxiety Worry Abandonment Abuse Fatigue God’s Love Guilt Insecurity Job Loss Loneliness Panic Attacks Stress Trauma

8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Leadership Temptation Alcoholism Insecurity Recovery Sobriety Stress

9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. Leadership Temptation Alcoholism Sobriety

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]. Leadership Grace Recovery

11 To him [be] glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. Leadership

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.
