CHAPTER 5 Exhortations to Elders

1 Elders, the ones among you, I exhort, I the fellow-elder and witness of the [²of the ³Christ ¹sufferings], the one also [²of the ³about to be ⁴revealed ⁵glory ¹partner] -- 2 tend the [³among ⁴you ¹flock ²of God]! overseeing, not by compelling, but voluntarily; nor sordidly, but eagerly; 3 nor as one dominating the lots, but [²models ¹becoming] for the flock. 4 And at the manifesting of the chief shepherd, you shall carry the unfading [²of glory ¹crown]. 5 In like manner let the younger ones submit to the older ones! And all [⁴one to another ³being submitted ²humility ¹adorn]! For God [²the proud ¹resists], [⁴to the humble ¹but ²gives ³favor]. 6 Be humbled then under the fortified hand of God! that he should exalt you in time; 7 [²all ³your anxiety ¹while casting] upon him, for with him there is a care concerning you. 8 Be sober! Be vigilant! Your opponent the devil [²as ⁴lion ³a roaring ¹walks] seeking whom he should swallow down. 9 To whom oppose solid in the belief! knowing the same sufferings to the one in the world [²by your ³brotherhood ¹are being completed]. 10 But the God of all favor, the one having called us into his eternal glory in Christ Jesus, [²a little ¹having suffered], may he ready you, support you, strengthen you, found you. 11 To him be the glory and the might into the eons of the eons. Amen. 12 Through Silvanus, [⁴to you ¹the ²trustworthy ³brother], as I consider, a little I wrote, appealing and attesting this to be the true favor of God in which you stand. 13 [⁵greets ⁶you ¹She ³in ⁴Babylon ²chosen with you], and Mark my son. 14 Greet one another with a kiss of love! Peace to you, to all the ones in Christ Jesus. Amen.
