The selected passage is highlighted. Context is a study aid.

5:1THE 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:

5:2Feed 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;

5:3Neither as being lords over God’s heritage, but being ensamples to the flock.

5:4And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.

5:5Likewise, 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.

5:6Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:

5:7Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
