1 Peter 5:1-2

1 Now I have something to say to the elders in your group. I also am an elder. I have seen Christ's sufferings, and I will share in the glory that will be shown to us. I beg you to

2 shepherd God's flock, for whom you are responsible. Watch over them because you want to, not because you are forced. That is how God wants it. Do it because you are happy to serve, not because you want money.

1 Peter 5:5

5 In the same way, younger people should be willing to be under older people. And all of you should be very humble with each other. "God is against the proud, but he gives grace to the humble."

1 Peter 5:13

13 The church in Babylon, who was chosen like you, sends you greetings. Mark, my son in Christ, also greets you.
