1 Peter 5

Πέτρος (Peter), as a fellow elder and witness of Χριστός (Christ)'s sufferings, exhorts elders to shepherd Θεός (God)'s flock willingly, eagerly, and as examples, promising the unfading crown from the chief Shepherd. He urges the younger to submit, all to clothe themselves in humility under Θεός (God)'s mighty hand, cast anxieties on Him, resist the διάβολος (devil) like a roaring lion, and trust the Θεός (God) of all grace to restore them after suffering.[1][2][4]
