Kĕpha Aleph (1 Peter) 5
5
1Therefore, as a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Messiah, and also a sharer of the esteem that is to be revealed, I appeal to the elders among you:
2Shepherd the flock of Elohim which is among you, serving as overseers, not by compulsion but voluntarily, not out of greed for filthy gain, but eagerly,
3neither as being masters over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock.
4And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you shall receive the never-fading crown of esteem.
5In 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.”#Pro. 3:34
6Humble yourselves, then, under the mighty hand of Elohim, so that He exalts you in due time,
7casting all your worry upon Him, for He is concerned about you.
8Be sober, watch, because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.
9Resist him, firm in the belief, knowing that the same hardships are experienced by your brotherhood in the world.
10And the Elohim of all favour, who called you to His everlasting esteem by Messiah יהושע, after you have suffered a while, Himself perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.
11To Him be the esteem and the might forever and ever. Amĕn.
12Through Silas the trustworthy brother, as I reckon, I have written to you briefly, encouraging and witnessing that this is the true favour of Elohim. In this stand fast.
13She who is in Baḇel, chosen together with you, greets you, also my son, Marqos.
14Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace to all of you who are in Messiah יהושע. Amĕn.

Tend the Flock of God
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: 2#John 21.15-17. 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; 3neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples to the flock. 4And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away. 5#Prov 3.34. 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.

Matt 23.12; Luke 14.11; 18.14. Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: 7casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. 8Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: 9whom resist steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. 10But 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. 11To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
Final Greetings

Acts 15.22,40. By Silva´nus, a faithful brother unto you, as I suppose, I have written briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God wherein ye stand. 13#Acts 12.12,25; 13.13; 15.37-39; Col 4.10; Phlm 24. The church that is at Babylon, elected together with you, saluteth you; and so doth Mark my son. 14Greet ye one another with a kiss of charity.
Peace be with you all that are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
