Peter 5
Serve
God Willingly
1(A)Therefore,
I exhort the elders among you, as your (B)fellow
elder and (C)witness
of the sufferings of Christ, and a (D)partaker
also of the glory that is to be revealed,
2shepherd
(E)the
flock of God among you, exercising oversight (F)not
under compulsion, but voluntarily, according to the will of God; and
(G)not
for sordid gain, but with eagerness;
3nor
yet as (H)lording
it over those allotted to your charge, but proving to be (I)examples
to the flock.
4And
when the Chief (J)Shepherd
appears, you will receive the (K)unfading
(L)crown
of glory.
5(M)You
younger men, likewise, (N)be
subject to your elders; and all of you, clothe yourselves with (O)humility
toward one another, for (P)GOD
IS OPPOSED TO THE PROUD, BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE.
6Therefore
(Q)humble
yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at
the proper time,
7casting
all your (R)anxiety
on Him, because He cares for you.
8(S)Be
of sober spirit, (T)be
on the alert Your adversary, (U)the
devil, prowls around like a roaring (V)lion,
seeking someone to devour.
9(W)But
resist him, (X)firm
in your faith, knowing that (Y)the
same experiences of suffering are being accomplished by your
brethren who are in the world.
10After
you have suffered (Z)for
a little while, the (AA)God
of all grace, who (AB)called
you to His (AC)eternal
glory in Christ, will Himself (AD)perfect,
(AE)confirm,
strengthen and establish you.
11(AF)To
Him be dominion forever and ever. Amen.
12Through
(AG)Silvanus,
our faithful brother (for so I regard him), (AH)I
have written to you briefly, exhorting and testifying that this is (AI)the
true grace of God (AJ)Stand
firm in it!
13She
who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, sends you greetings,
and so does my son, (AK)Mark.
14(AL)Greet
one another with a kiss of love (AM)Peace
be to you all who are in Christ.
PSALM 116
(TB)
1 I love the LORD because he hears
and answers my prayers.
2 Because he bends down and listens,
I will pray as long as I have breath!
3 Death had its hands around my throat;
the terrors of the graveŁ overtook me.
I saw only trouble and sorrow.
4 Then I called on the name of the LORD:
“Please, LORD, save me!”
5 How kind the LORD is! How good he is!
So merciful, this God of ours!
6 The LORD protects those of childlike faith;
I was facing death, and then he saved me.
7 Now I can rest again,
for the LORD has been so good to me.
8 He has saved me from death,
my eyes from tears,
my feet from stumbling.
9 And so I walk in the LORD’s presence
as I live here on earth!
10 I believed in you, so I prayed,
“I am deeply troubled, LORD.”
11 In my anxiety I cried out to you,
“These people are all liars!”
12 What can I offer the LORD
for all he has done for me?
13 I will lift up a cup symbolizing his salvation;
I will praise the LORD’s name for saving me.
14 I will keep my promises to the LORD
in the presence of all his people.
15 The LORD’s loved ones are precious to him;
it grieves him when they die.
16 O LORD, I am your servant;
yes, I am your servant, the son of your handmaid,
and you have freed me from my bonds!
17 I will offer you a sacrifice of thanksgiving
and call on the name of the LORD.
18 I will keep my promises to the LORD
in the presence of all his people,
19 in the house of the LORD,
in the heart of Jerusalem.
Praise the LORD!
