60:004:018 And if the righteous scarcely be saved,
where shall the
ungodly
and the sinner appear?
60:004:019 Wherefore let them that suffer according
to the will of God
commit
the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as
unto
a faithful Creator.
60:005:001 The elders which are among you I exhort,
who am also an elder,
and
a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker
of
the glory that shall be revealed:
60:005:002 Feed the flock of God which is among you,
taking the oversight
thereof,
not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy
lucre,
but of a ready mind;
60:005:003 Neither as being lords over God’s
heritage, but being
ensamples
to the flock.
60:005:004 And when the chief Shepherd shall appear,
ye shall receive a
crown
of glory that fadeth not away.
60:005:005 Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves
unto the elder. Yea,
all
of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with
humility:
for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the
humble.
60:005:006 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty
hand of God, that
he
may exalt you in due time:
60:005:007 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
60:005:008 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary
the devil, as a
roaring
lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
60:005:009 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing
that the same
afflictions
are accomplished in your brethren that are in the
world.
60:005:010 But the God of all grace, who hath called
us unto his eternal
glory
by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while,
make
you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.
60:005:011 To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
60:005:012 By Silvanus, a faithful brother unto you,
as I suppose, I have
written
briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the
true
grace of God wherein ye stand.
60:005:013 The church that is at Babylon, elected
together with you,
saluteth
you; and so doth Marcus my son.
60:005:014 Greet ye one another with a kiss of charity.
Peace be with you
all
that are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
Book 61 2 Peter
61:001:001 Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of
Jesus Christ, to them
that
have obtained like precious faith with us through the
righteousness
of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ:
61:001:002 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you
through the knowledge
of
God, and of Jesus our Lord,
61:001:003 According as his divine power hath given
unto us all things
that
pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge
of
him
that hath called us to glory and virtue:
