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;KJV — 1Peter 5:2

3 Neither as being lords over God’s heritage, but being ensamples to the flock.KJV — 1Peter 5:3

4 And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.KJV — 1Peter 5:4

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.KJV — 1Peter 5:5

7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.KJV — 1Peter 5:7

8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:KJV — 1Peter 5:8

11 To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.KJV — 1Peter 5:11

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.KJV — 1Peter 5:12

13 The church that is at Babylon, elected together with you, saluteth you; and so doth Marcus my son.KJV — 1Peter 5:13
