Elders to Feed Their Flocks; the Young to Obey
1 Peter
1 He exhorts the elders to feed their flocks, 5 the younger to obey, 8 and all to be sober, watchful and constant in the faith, 9 and to resist the cruel adversary the devil
Phm 1:9;Luk 24:48;Act 1:8 The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:
Joh 21:152 Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;
Psa 74:23 Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples to the flock.
Heb 13:204 And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.
Isa 57:15;Psa 34:18;Phi 2:3 5 ¶ Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.
6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
8 ¶ Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
10 ¶ But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.
11 To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
Heb 13:22;2 Cor 1:19 12 By Silvanus, a faithful brother unto you, as I suppose, I have written briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God wherein ye stand.
Gen 10:10;Rev 17:5;Rev 17:18 13 The church that is at Babylon, elected together with you, saluteth you; and so doth Marcus my son.
14 Greet ye one another with a kiss of charity. Peace be with you all that are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
