1 Peter 5 1 The Elders which are among you I exhort, who

am also an Elder, and a witnesse of the sufferings of

Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be

reuealed. 2 Feede the flocke of God which is among you,

taking the ouersight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly:

not for filthy lucre, but of a ready minde: 3 Neither as being

lords ouer Gods heritage: but being ensamples to the

flocke. 4 And when the chiefe shepheard shall appeare, ye

shall receiue a crowne of glory that fadeth not away.

5 Likewise ye yonger, submit your selues vnto the elder:

yea, all of you bee subiect one to another, and bee clothed

with humilitie: for God resisteth the proud, and giueth

grace to the humble.
