1 Peter 5:4 - Forerunner Commentary

1 Peter 5:4

2 ^aShepherd the flock of God which is among you, serving as overseers, ^bnot by compulsion but willingly, ^cnot for dishonest gain but eagerly;

3 nor as ^abeing lords over ^bthose entrusted to you, but ^cbeing examples to the flock;

4 and when ^athe Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive ^bthe crown of glory that does not fade away.

Submit to God, Resist the Devil

5 Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, ^aall of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for
^b“God resists the proud,
But ^cgives grace to the humble.”

6 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time,
