New Testament

1 Peter 5:3-9 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

3. neither as being masters over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock.

4. And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you shall receive the never-fading crown of esteem.

5. In the same way, you younger ones, be subject to elders. And gird yourselves with humility toward one another, for “Elohim resists the proud, but gives favour to the humble.”

6. Humble yourselves, then, under the mighty hand of Elohim, so that He exalts you in due time,

7. casting all your worry upon Him, for He is concerned about you.

8. Be sober, watch, because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.

9. Resist him, firm in the belief, knowing that the same hardships are experienced by your brotherhood in the world.
