Old Testament

New Testament

1 Peter 5:2-8 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

2. pasture the flock of God that is among you, providing for it, not as a requirement, but willingly, in accord with God, and not for the sake of tainted profit, but freely,

3. not so as to dominate by means of the clerical state, but so as to be formed into a flock from the heart.

4. And when the Leader of pastors will have appeared, you shall secure an unfading crown of glory.

5. Similarly, young persons, be subject to the elders. And infuse all humility among one another, for God resists the arrogant, but to the humble he gives grace.

6. And so, be humbled under the powerful hand of God, so that he may exalt you in the time of visitation.

7. Cast all your cares upon him, for he takes care of you.

8. Be sober and vigilant. For your adversary, the devil, is like a roaring lion, traveling around and seeking those whom he might devour.
