1902 Rotherham's Emphasized Bible (EBR)

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 ¶ Elders, therefore, among you, I exhort—[I] who am their co-elder and a witness of the sufferings of the Christ, who also, in the glory about to be revealed, have, a share;—

 5:2 Shepherd the beloved flock of God, which is among you,—not by compulsion, but by choice, nor yet for base gain, but of a ready mind,—

 5:3 Nor yet as lording it over the allotted portions, but becoming, ensamples, to the beloved flock;

 5:4 And, when the Chief Shepherd is manifested, ye shall bear away, the unfading crown of glory.

 5:5 ¶ In like manner, ye younger men—submit yourselves unto elders;—All, however, one towards another, gird on humility; because, God, against the haughty, arrayeth himself, whereas, unto the lowly, he giveth favour.

 5:6 Be made lowly, therefore, under the strong hand of God, that he may lift, you, up in due time,—

 5:7 All your anxiety, casting upon him, because he careth for you.

 5:8 ¶ Be sober! be watchful! Your slanderous adversary, as a roaring lion, is walking about—seeking to devour:

 5:9 Whom resist, steadfast in your faith, knowing that, the same sufferings, in your brotherhood that is in the world, are being accomplished.

 5:10 ¶ Howbeit, the God of all favour—who hath called you unto his age-abiding glory in Christ—when, for a little, ye have suffered, Himself, will adjust, confirm, strengthen:—

 5:11 Unto him, be the dominion, unto the ages. Amen!

 5:12 By Silvanus, the faithful brother, as I account him, have I briefly written, unto you, exhorting and adding testimony—that, this, is the true favour of God—within which, stand ye fast!

 5:13 She who, in Babylon, is co-elect, and Mark my son, salute you:

 5:14 Salute ye one another with a kiss of love. Peace unto you all who are in Christ.
