1 Peter 5

Directions to the elders to feed the flock of God, and not to be lord over God's heritage, that when the chief Shepherd does appear, they may receive a crown of glory, 1 Peter 5:1-4 . The young are to submit themselves to the elder, and to humble themselves under the mighty hand of God, and cast all their care upon him, 1 Peter 5:5-7 . They should be sober and watchful, because their adversary the devil is continually seeking their destruction, whom they are to resist, steadfast in the faith, 1 Peter 5:8 , 1 Peter 5:9 . They are informed that the God of all grace had called them to his eternal glory, 1 Peter 5:10-11 . Of Silvanus, by whom this epistle was sent, 1 Peter 5:12 . Salutations from the Church at Babylon, 1 Peter 5:13 . The apostolic benediction, 1 Peter 5:14 .
