1 Peter 5 is the fifth chapter of the First Epistle of Peter in the New Testament of the Christian Bible. The chapter is written to encourage and exhort the Christian community in the midst of persecution.

The chapter begins with Peter addressing the elders of the churches, urging them to shepherd the flock of God that is among them. He reminds them that they will be held accountable for their flock, and that they should shepherd them willingly, not by compulsion. He also warns them against lording it over their flock, but to be examples to them instead.

Peter then turns to the younger members of the community, urging them to submit to the elders. He reminds them that God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble. He also tells them to clothe themselves with humility, for God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble.

Peter then goes on to address the whole community, urging them to be sober and vigilant, as their adversary the devil is prowling around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. He tells them to resist the devil, standing firm in the faith. He also reminds them that they are not alone in their sufferings, as the whole family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.

Finally, Peter ends the chapter with a doxology, praising God for his eternal glory in Christ. He tells them that after they have suffered a little while, God himself will restore them and make them strong, firm and steadfast. To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen.

The main theme of 1 Peter 5 is encouragement and exhortation to the Christian community in the midst of persecution. Peter reminds them that they are not alone in their sufferings, and that God will ultimately vindicate them. He also encourages them to be humble, sober, and vigilant, as their adversary the devil is prowling around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.

1 Peter 5 is a powerful and encouraging chapter that can provide comfort and strength to Christians who are facing persecution. It is also a reminder that God is sovereign over all things, and that he will ultimately vindicate his people.
