Kepha closes this letter with a charge to the elders and the entire remnant:
- Shepherd the flock willingly and humbly.
- Be sober-minded and watchful.
- Resist the devil, standing firm in faith.
“Humble yourselves under the mighty hand of Yahuah/Yahawah, so that He may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.” (1 Peter 5:6–7)
This chapter is a powerful exhortation to lead in love, stay alert in spiritual warfare, and trust Yahuah/Yahawah to strengthen and establish His people after suffering.
This reading is for the set-apart remnant determined to stand firm to the end.
