1 Peter 5:3 in Context — 1 Peter 5

1 Voici les exhortations que j’adresse aux anciens qui sont parmi vous, moi ancien comme eux, témoin des souffrances de Christ, et participant de la gloire qui doit être manifestée:

2 Paissez le troupeau de Dieu qui est sous votre garde, non par contrainte, mais volontairement, selon Dieu; non pour un gain sordide, mais avec dévouement;

3 non comme dominant sur ceux qui vous sont échus en partage, mais en étant les modèles du troupeau.

4 Et lorsque le souverain pasteur paraîtra, vous obtiendrez la couronne incorruptible de la gloire.

5 De même, vous qui êtes jeunes, soyez soumis aux anciens. Et tous, dans vos rapports mutuels, revêtez-vous d’humilité; car Dieu résiste aux orgueilleux, Mais il fait grâce aux humbles.
