[2]feed the flock of God that [is] among you, overseeing not constrainedly, but willingly, neither for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind, |
| [3]Not as though ye were Lordes ouer God his heritage: but that ye be an ensample to the flocke |
[3]neither as exercising lordship over the heritages, but patterns becoming of the flock, |

[9]whom resist, stedfast in the faith, having known the same sufferings to your brotherhood in the world to be accomplished. |
| [10]But the God of all grace whiche hath called vs vnto his eternall glory by Christe Iesus, shal his owne selfe, after that ye haue suffred a litle affliction, make you perfite, setle, strength, and stablyshe you |
[10]And the God of all grace, who did call you to His age-during glory in Christ Jesus, having suffered a little, Himself make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle [you]; |

[11]to Him [is] the glory, and the power -- to the ages and the ages! Amen. |
