彼前05
彼得前書第5章
照管上帝的羊群
1我這作長老、作基督受苦的見證、同享後來所要顯現之榮耀的，勸你們中間與我同作長老的人：

2務要牧養在你們中間 神的群羊，按著 神旨意照管他們；不是出於勉強，乃是出於甘心；也不是因為貪財，乃是出於樂意；
3也不是轄制所託付你們的，乃是作群羊的榜樣。

9你們要用堅固的信心抵擋他，因為知道你們在世上的眾弟兄也是經歷這樣的苦難。
10那賜諸般恩典的 神曾在基督裡召你們，得享他永遠的榮耀，等你們暫受苦難之後，必要親自成全你們，堅固你們，賜力量給你們。
11願權能歸給他，直到永永遠遠。阿們！
問安
12我略略地寫了這信，託我所看為忠心的兄弟西拉轉交你們，勸勉你們，又證明這恩是 神的真恩。你們務要在這恩上站立得住。
