English Standard VersionInternational Standard Version
1So 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:1Therefore, as a fellow elder, a witness of the Messiah's sufferings, and one who shares in the glory to be revealed, I appeal to the elders among you:
2shepherd 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;2Be shepherds of God's flock that is among you, watching over it, not because you must but because you want to, and not greedily but eagerly, as God desires.
3not domineering over those in your charge, but being examples to the flock.3Do not lord it over the people entrusted to you, but be examples to the flock.
4And when the chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the unfading crown of glory.4Then, when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the victor's crown of glory that will never fade away.
5Likewise, 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.”5In a similar way, you young people must submit to the elders. All of you must clothe yourselves with humility for the sake of each other, because: "God opposes the arrogant, but gives grace to the humble."
6Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you,6Therefore, humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, so that at the proper time he may exalt you.
7casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.7Throw all your worry on him, because he cares for you.
8Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.8Be clear-minded and alert. Your opponent, the devil, is prowling around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.
9Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world.9Resist him and be firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kinds of suffering.
10And 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.10After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who called you by the Messiah Jesus to his eternal glory, will restore you, establish you, strengthen you, and support you.
11To him be the dominion forever and ever. Amen.11Power belongs to him forever and ever! Amen.
12By 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.12Through Silvanus, whom I regard as a faithful brother, I have written this short letter to encourage you and to testify that this is to be the true grace of God in which you are to stand firm!
13She who is at Babylon, who is likewise chosen, sends you greetings, and so does Mark, my son.13Your sister church in Babylon, chosen along with you, sends you greetings, as does Mark, whom I regard as a son.
14Greet one another with the kiss of love. Peace to all of you who are in Christ.14Greet one another with a loving kiss. Peace be to all of you who are in the Messiah!
