1 Peter 5 · Grade 4

The Crown of Glory

Name Date

Read and Think

Peter writes as a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ. He tells elders to shepherd the flock of God willingly, not for dishonest gain, and not as lords over the people, but as examples. When the chief Shepherd is revealed, they will receive the crown of glory that doesn’t fade away.

Younger people should be subject to the elders, and everyone should be clothed with humility, because God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble. Humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, so that he may exalt you in due time. Cast all your worries on him, because he cares for you.

Be sober and watchful. Peter warns that the devil prowls like a roaring lion. Believers should resist him, steadfast in faith, knowing that brothers and sisters everywhere face the same sufferings. After a little while, the God of all grace will perfect, establish, and strengthen them. Peter sends greetings and ends with peace.
