    1Leading and Living in God’s Flock So as your fellow elder and a witness of Christ’s sufferings and as one who shares in the glory that will be revealed, I urge the elders among you:

    2Give a shepherd’s care to God’s flock among you, exercising oversight not merely as a duty but willingly under God’s direction, not for shameful profit but eagerly.

    5In the same way, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. And all of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.

    6And God will exalt you in due time, if you humble yourselves under his mighty hand

    7by casting all your cares on him because he cares for you.

    8Be sober and alert. Your enemy the devil, like a roaring lion, is on the prowl looking for someone to devour.

    9Resist him, strong in your faith, because you know that your brothers and sisters throughout the world are enduring the same kinds of suffering.

    10And, after you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace who called you to his eternal glory in Christ will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.
