1 Peter 5
ISV Parallel KJV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT GRK]
International Standard VersionKing James Bible
1Therefore, as a fellow elder, a witness of the Messiah's sufferings, and one who shares in the glory to be revealed, I appeal to the elders among you: 1The 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:
2Be shepherds of God's flock that is among you, watching over it, not because you must but because you want to, and not greedily but eagerly, as God desires. 2Feed 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;
3Do not lord it over the people entrusted to you, but be examples to the flock. 3Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples to the flock.
4Then, when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the victor's crown of glory that will never fade away.4And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.
5In a similar way, you young people must submit to the elders. All of you must clothe yourselves with humility for the sake of each other, because: "God opposes the arrogant, but gives grace to the humble." 5Likewise, 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.
6Therefore, humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, so that at the proper time he may exalt you. 6Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
7Throw all your worry on him, because he cares for you. 7Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
8Be clear-minded and alert. Your opponent, the devil, is prowling around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. 8Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
9Resist him and be firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kinds of suffering. 9Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
10After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who called you by the Messiah Jesus to his eternal glory, will restore you, establish you, strengthen you, and support you. 10But 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.
11Power belongs to him forever and ever! Amen.11To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
12Through Silvanus, whom I regard as a faithful brother, I have written this short letter to encourage you and to testify that this is to be the true grace of God in which you are to stand firm! 12By 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.
13Your sister church in Babylon, chosen along with you, sends you greetings, as does Mark, whom I regard as a son. 13The church that is at Babylon, elected together with you, saluteth you; and so doth Marcus my son.
14Greet one another with a loving kiss. Peace be to all of you who are in the Messiah! 14Greet ye one another with a kiss of charity. Peace be with you all that are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
