1 Peter 5

Peter urges elders to shepherd God's flock willingly and by example, and younger people to be humble. Humble yourselves under God's mighty hand and cast all your care upon him, because he cares for you. Stay alert: the devil prowls like a roaring lion, but God will restore and strengthen you after you have suffered.
