1 The elders among you I beseech, a fellow elder, and witness of the sufferings of Christ, and a participator of the glory which is about to be revealed: 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 Tend the flock of God which among you, inspecting, not by force, but voluntarily; neither occupied in sordid gain, but of a ready will; 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 Neither as ruling over the portions obtained by lot, but being types of the flock. 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 the chief Shepherd having been manifested, ye shall be attired with 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 Likewise, ye younger, be subjected to the elders. And all being subject to one another, be wrapped up in humility: for God opposes the proud, and gives grace to the humble. 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 Therefore be humbled under the strong hand of God, that he might lift you up) in due measure: 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 Having cast all your care upon him; for to him is the care for 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 abstemious, watch; for your adversary the accuser, as a roaring lion, walks around, seeking whom he might swallow down: 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 Whom resist firm in the faith, knowing that the same of sufferings are completed by your brotherhood 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 And the God of all grace, having called us to his eternal glory in Christ Jesus, may he put you in proper order, having suffered a little time, may he support you, make firm, lay the foundation. 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 the glory and the strength for the time of times. Amen. To him be the dominion forever and ever. Amen. To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen.

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 chosen together in Babylon, greet you; also Marcus my son. 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.
