5:1 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,
5:2 feed
the
flock
of
God
that
[is]
among
you,
overseeing
not
constrainedly,
but
willingly,
neither
for
filthy
lucre,
but
of
a
ready
mind,
5:3 neither
as
exercising
lordship
over
the
heritages,
but
patterns
becoming
of
the
flock,
5:4 and
at
the
manifestation
of
the
chief
Shepherd,
ye
shall
receive
the
unfading
crown
of
glory.
5:5 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;
5:6 be
humbled,
then,
under
the
powerful
hand
of
God,
that
you
He
may
exalt
in
good
time,
5:7 all
your
care
having
cast
upon
Him,
because
He
careth
for
you.
5:8 Be
sober,
vigilant,
because
your
opponent
the
devil,
as
a
roaring
lion,
doth
walk
about,
seeking
whom
he
may
swallow
up,
5:9 whom
resist,
stedfast
in
the
faith,
having
known
the
same
sufferings
to
your
brotherhood
in
the
world
to
be
accomplished.
5:10 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]
;
5:11 to
Him
[is]
the
glory,
and
the
power--to
the
ages
and
the
ages!
Amen.
5:12 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.
5:13 Salute
you
doth
the
[assembly]
in
Babylon
jointly
elected,
and
Markus
my
son.
5:14 Salute
ye
one
another
in
a
kiss
of
love;
peace
to
you
all
who
[are]
in
Christ
Jesus!
Amen.
