1890 Darby's Translation of the Holy Scriptures (DBY)

1 Peter 5

1 He exhorteth the elders to feed their flocks, 5 the younger to obey, 8 and all to be sober, watchful, and constant in the faith: 9 to resist the cruel adversary the devil.

 5:1 ¶ The elders which [are] among you I exhort, who [am their] fellow-elder and witness of the sufferings of the Christ, who also [am] partaker of the glory about to be revealed:

 5:2 shepherd the flock of God which [is] among you, exercising oversight, not by necessity, but willingly; not for base gain, but readily;

 5:3 not as lording it over your possessions, but being models for the flock.

 5:4 And when the chief shepherd is manifested ye shall receive the unfading crown of glory.

 5:5 Likewise [ye] younger, be subject to [the] elder, and all of you bind on humility towards one another; for God sets himself against [the] proud, but to [the] humble gives grace.

 5:6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in [the due] time;

 5:7 having cast all your care upon him, for he cares about you.

 5:8 Be vigilant, watch. Your adversary [the] devil as a roaring lion walks about seeking whom he may devour.

 5:9 Whom resist, stedfast in faith, knowing that the selfsame sufferings are accomplished in your brotherhood which [is] in [the] world.

 5:10 But the God of all grace who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ Jesus, when ye have suffered for a little while, himself shall make perfect, stablish, strengthen, ground:

 5:11 to him [be] the glory and the might for the ages of the ages. Amen.

 5:12 By Silvanus, the faithful brother, as I suppose, I have written to you briefly; exhorting and testifying that this is [the] true grace of God in which ye stand.

 5:13 She that is elected with [you] in Babylon salutes you, and Marcus my son.

 5:14 Salute one another with a kiss of love. Peace be with you all who [are] in Christ.
