05/18 ~ From New Testament Letters

   (In the Order Believed Written)

1 - So I urge the elders among you - as a fellow elder, and as a witness of the sufferings of Christ, as well as a partaker in the glory that is going to be revealed - 2 shepherd the flock of God that’s among you, exercising oversight, not as unpleasant duty, but genuinely, as God would have it. And not for shameful gain, but with genuine interest and concern. 3 Not domineering over those in your charge! But as examples to his flock. 4 And when the chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the unfading crown of glory. {Of Life, not metal.} 5 Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders, but all of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another. For “God opposes the proud! But gives grace to the humble.” 6 So humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God, so at the proper time he may exalt you. 7 And cast all your cares upon him, because he cares for you.
