베드로전서 5장 NASB
- 1 Therefore I exhort the elders among you as your fellow elder and witness of the sufferings of Christ and a partaker also of the glory that is to be revealed
- 2 shepherd the flock of God among you exercising oversight not under compulsion but voluntarily according to the will of God; and not for sordid gain but with eagerness;
- 3 nor yet as lording it over those allotted to your charge but proving to be examples to the flock.
- 4 And when the Chief Shepherd appears you will receive the unfading crown of glory.
- 5 You younger men likewise be subject to your elders; and all of you clothe yourselves with humility toward one another for GOD IS OPPOSED TO THE PROUD BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE.
- 6 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God that He may exalt you at the proper time
- 7 casting all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.
- 8 Be of sober spirit be on the alert. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion seeking someone to devour.
- 9 But resist him firm in your faith knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being accomplished by your brethren who are in the world.
- 10 After you have suffered for a little while the God of all grace who called you to His eternal glory in Christ will Himself perfect confirm strengthen and establish you.
- 11 To Him be dominion forever and ever. Amen.
- 12 Through Silvanus our faithful brother (for so I regard him) I have written to you briefly exhorting and testifying that this is the true grace of God. Stand firm in it!
- 13 She who is in Babylon chosen together with you sends you greetings and so does my son Mark.
- 14 Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace be to you all who are in Christ.
