1 Therefore, I beg the elders who are among you, as one who is also an elder and a witness of the Passion of Christ, who also shares in that glory which is to be revealed in the future: So I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, as well as a partaker in the glory that is going to be revealed: To the elders among you, I appeal as a fellow elder and a witness of Christ’s sufferings who also will share in the glory to be revealed:
2 pasture the flock of God that is among you, providing for it, not as a requirement, but willingly, in accord with God, and not for the sake of tainted profit, but freely, shepherd the flock of God that is among you, exercising oversight, not under compulsion, but willingly, as God would have you; not for shameful gain, but eagerly; Be shepherds of God’s flock that is under your care, watching over them—not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not pursuing dishonest gain, but eager to serve;
3 not so as to dominate by means of the clerical state, but so as to be formed into a flock from the heart. not domineering over those in your charge, but being examples to the flock. not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock.
4 And when the Leader of pastors will have appeared, you shall secure an unfading crown of glory. And when the chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the unfading crown of glory. And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away.
5 Similarly, young persons, be subject to the elders. And infuse all humility among one another, for God resists the arrogant, but to the humble he gives grace. Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” In the same way, you who are younger, submit yourselves to your elders. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, “God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.”
6 And so, be humbled under the powerful hand of God, so that he may exalt you in the time of visitation. Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.
7 Cast all your cares upon him, for he takes care of you. casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
8 Be sober and vigilant. For your adversary, the devil, is like a roaring lion, traveling around and seeking those whom he might devour. Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.
9 Resist him by being strong in faith, being aware that the same passions afflict those who are your brothers in the world. Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.
10 But the God of all grace, who has called us to his eternal glory in Christ Jesus, will himself perfect, confirm, and establish us, after a brief time of suffering. And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.
11 To him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen. To him be the dominion forever and ever. Amen. To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen.
12 I have written briefly, through Sylvanus, whom I consider to be a faithful brother to you, begging and testifying that this is the true grace of God, in which you have been established. By Silvanus, a faithful brother as I regard him, I have written briefly to you, exhorting and declaring that this is the true grace of God. Stand firm in it. With the help of Silas, whom I regard as a faithful brother, I have written to you briefly, encouraging you and testifying that this is the true grace of God. Stand fast in it.
13 The Church which is in Babylon, elect together with you, greets you, as does my son, Mark. She who is at Babylon, who is likewise chosen, sends you greetings, and so does Mark, my son. She who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, sends you her greetings, and so does my son Mark.
14 Greet one another with a holy kiss. Grace be to all of you who are in Christ Jesus. Amen. Greet one another with the kiss of love. Peace to all of you who are in Christ. Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace to all of you who are in Christ.
