1 Therefore G3767, I urge G3870 elders G4245 among G1722 you, as your fellow G4850 elder G4850 and a witness G3144 of the sufferings G3804 of Christ G5547, and one who is also G2532 a [fn]fellow G2844 partaker G2844 of the glory G1391 that is to be revealed G601:
2 shepherd G4165 the flock G4168 of God G2316 among G1722 you, exercising G1983 oversight G1983, not under G317 compulsion G317 but voluntarily G1596, according G2596 to the will of God G2316; and not [fn]with G147 greed G147 but with eagerness G4290; 3 nor G3366 yet as domineering G2634 over G2634 [fn]those G3588 assigned G2819 to G2819 your care G2819, but by [fn]proving G1096 to G1096 be G1096 [fn]examples G5179 to the flock G4168. 4 And when the Chief G750 Shepherd G750 appears G5319, you will receive G2865 the unfading G262 [fn]crown G4735 of glory G1391. 5 You [fn]younger G3501 men G3501, likewise G3668, be G5293 subject G5293 to your elders G4245; and all G3956 of you, clothe G1463 yourselves with humility G5012 toward one G240 another G240, because G3754 GOD G2316 IS OPPOSED G498 TO THE PROUD G5244, BUT HE GIVES G1325 GRACE G5485 TO THE HUMBLE G5011.
6 Therefore G3767 humble G5013 yourselves under G5259 the mighty G2900 hand G5495 of God G2316, so G2443 that G2443 He may exalt G5312 you at the proper G2540 time G2540, 7 having cast G1977 all G3956 your anxiety G3308 on Him, because G3754 He cares G3199 about G4012 you. 8 Be of sober G3525 spirit, be on the alert G1127. Your adversary G476, the devil G1228, prowls G4043 around G4043 like G5613 a roaring G5612 lion G3023, seeking G2212 someone G5100 to devour G2666. 9 [fn]So resist G436 him, firm G4731 in your faith G4102, knowing G6063 that the same G846 experiences G3588 of suffering G3804 are being accomplished G2005 by your [fn]brothers G81 and G81 sisters G81 who are in the world G2889. 10 After you have suffered G3958 for a little G3641 while G3641, the God G2316 of all G3956 grace G5485, who called G2564 you to His eternal G166 glory G1391 in Christ G5547, will Himself G846 perfect G2675, confirm G4741, strengthen G4599, and establish G2311 you. 11 To Him be dominion G2904 forever G165 and ever G165. Amen G281.
12 Through G1223 Silvanus G4610, our faithful G4103 brother G80 [fn](for so G5613 I regard G3049 him), I have written G1125 to you briefly G3641, [fn]exhorting G3870 and testifying G1957 that this G3778 is the true G227 grace G5485 of God G2316. Stand G2476 firm G2476 in it! 13 She who is in Babylon G897, chosen G4899 together G4899 with you, sends G782 you greetings G782, and so does my son G5207, Mark G3138. 14 Greet G782 one G240 another G240 with a kiss G5370 of love G26.
Peace G1515 be to you all G3956 who G3588 are in Christ G5547.
