## 1 Peter 5:1-7 in Context (Verses 1–10 KJV)
 
 [1 ](/kjv/1-peter/5/1) 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:
 
 [2 ](/kjv/1-peter/5/2) 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;
 
 [3 ](/kjv/1-peter/5/3) Neither as being lords over *God’s* heritage, but being ensamples to the flock.
 
 [4 ](/kjv/1-peter/5/4) And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.
 
 [5 ](/kjv/1-peter/5/5) 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 ](/kjv/1-peter/5/6) Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
 
 [7 ](/kjv/1-peter/5/7) Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
 
 [8 ](/kjv/1-peter/5/8) Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
 
 [9 ](/kjv/1-peter/5/9) Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
 
 [10 ](/kjv/1-peter/5/10) 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*.
 
[1 Peter 4](/kjv/1-peter/4) [2 Peter 1](/kjv/2-peter/1)
