1 Peter 5

NEW JERUSALEM	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 I urge the elders among you, as a fellow-elder myself and a witness to the sufferings of Christ, and asone who is to have a share in the glory that is to be revealed:	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 give a shepherd's care to the flock of God that is entrusted to you: watch over it, not simply as a dutybut gladly, as God wants; not for sordid money, but because you are eager to do it.	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 Do not lord it over the group which is in your charge, but be an example for the flock.	3 Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples to the flock.
4 When the chief shepherd appears, you wil be given the unfading crown of glory.	4 And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.
5 In the same way, younger people, be subject to the elders. Humility towards one another must be thegarment you all wear constantly, because God opposes the proud but accords his favour to the humble.	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 Bow down, then, before the power of God now, so that he may raise you up in due time;	6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
7 unload al your burden on to him, since he is concerned about you.	7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
8 Keep sober and alert, because your enemy the devil is on the prowl like a roaring lion, looking forsomeone to devour.	8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
9 Stand up to him, strong in faith and in the knowledge that it is the same kind of suffering that thecommunity of your brothers throughout the world is undergoing.	9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
10 You wil have to suffer only for a little while: the God of all grace who called you to eternal glory inChrist wil restore you, he wil confirm, strengthen and support you.	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 His power lasts for ever and ever. Amen.	11 To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
12 I write these few words to you through Silvanus, who is a trustworthy brother, to encourage you andattest that this is the true grace of God. Stand firm in it!	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 Your sister in Babylon, who is with you among the chosen, sends you greetings; so does my son,Mark.	13 The church that is at Babylon, elected together with you, saluteth you; and so doth Marcus my son.
14 Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace to you al who are in Christ.	14 Greet ye one another with a kiss of charity. Peace be with you all that are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
