Versi relativi a 1 Peter, 5:

Chapter 5 of 1 St. Peter deals with the exhortation to the elders and the flock of God, encouraging humility, care with the flock and resistance against the devil. Below are five verses related to the topics covered in this chapter:

Proverbs 3:34: "Certainly he mocks the mocking, but gives grace to the humble." This verse highlights the importance of humility, which is emphasized in chapter 5 of 1 St. Peter. Isaiah 40:11: "As a pastor he takes care of his flock. With his arm he gathers the dulls and carries them on his lap; he gently leads the sheep that breastfeed his young." This verse talks about God's care for his people, which is also an exhortation to the elders to take good care of God's flock. Acts 20:28: "Take care of themselves and all the flock upon which the Holy Spirit placed them as bishops, to pasture the church of God, which he bought with his own blood." This verse is similar to the theme addressed in chapter 5 of 1 St. Peter, in which the apostle urges the elders to take care of God's flock. James 4:7: "Therefore, they submit to God. They resist the devil, and He will run away from you." This verse highlights the importance of resisting the devil, which is also mentioned in chapter 5 of 1 St. Peter. Ephesians 6:11: "They see the whole armor of God so they can be firm against the devil's pitfalls." This verse also talks about the resistance to the devil, which is encouraged in chapter 5 of 1 St. Peter.
