Bible. Peter, 1st
60:004:019 Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God
commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as
unto a faithful Creator.
60:005:001 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:
60:005:002 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;
60:005:003 Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being
ensamples to the flock.
60:005:004 And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a
crown of glory that fadeth not away.
60:005:005 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.
60:005:006 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that
he may exalt you in due time:
60:005:007 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
60:005:008 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a
roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
60:005:009 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same
afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the
world.
60:005:010 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.
60:005:011 To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
60:005:012 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.
60:005:013 The church that is at Babylon, elected together with you,
saluteth you; and so doth Marcus my son.
60:005:014 Greet ye one another with a kiss of charity. Peace be with you
all that are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
