* And If the righteous is scarcely saved, what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?
* Therefore let those who suffer according to God's will entrust their souls to a faithful Creator while doing good.
* So I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, as well as a partaker in the glory that is going to be revealed:
* shepherd the flock of God that is among you, exercising oversight, not under compulsion, but willingly, as God would have you; not for shameful gain, but eagerly;
* not domineering over those in your charge, but being examples to the flock.
* And when the chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the unfading crown of glory.
* Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.
* Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you,
* casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.
* Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.
