1 Elders who are among you, I exhort, who am a fellow-elder, and a witness of the sufferings of the Christ, and of the glory about to be revealed a partaker, 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 feed the flock of God that is among you, overseeing not constrainedly, but willingly, neither for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind, 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 exercising lordship over the heritages, but patterns becoming 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 at the manifestation of the chief Shepherd, ye shall receive the 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 In like manner, ye younger, be subject to elders, and all to one another subjecting yourselves; with humble-mindedness clothe yourselves, because God the proud doth resist, but to the humble He doth give 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 be humbled, then, under the powerful hand of God, that you He may exalt in good time, 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 all your care having cast upon Him, because He careth 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 sober, vigilant, because your opponent the devil, as a roaring lion, doth walk about, seeking whom he may swallow up, 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, stedfast in the faith, having known the same sufferings to your brotherhood in the world to be accomplished. 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, who did call you to His age-during glory in Christ Jesus, having suffered a little, Himself make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle you; 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 is the glory, and the power -- to the ages and the ages! Amen. To him be the dominion forever and ever. Amen. To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen.
12 Through Silvanus, to you the faithful brother, as I reckon, through few words I did write, exhorting and testifying this to be the true grace of God in which ye have stood. 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 Salute you doth the assembly in Babylon jointly elected, and Markus 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.
14 Salute ye one another in a kiss of love; peace to you all 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.
