English Standard VersionKing James Bible
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:1The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:
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;2Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;
3not domineering over those in your charge, but being examples to the flock.3Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples to the flock.
4And when the chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the unfading crown of glory.4And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not 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.”5Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.
6Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you,6Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
7casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.7Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
8Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.8Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
9Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world.9Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
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.10But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.
11To him be the dominion forever and ever. Amen.11To him be glory and dominion for ever 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.12By Silvanus, a faithful brother unto you, as I suppose, I have written briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God wherein ye stand.
13She who is at Babylon, who is likewise chosen, sends you greetings, and so does Mark, my son.13The church that is at Babylon, elected together with you, saluteth you; and so doth Marcus my son.
14Greet one another with the kiss of love. Peace to all of you who are in Christ.14Greet ye one another with a kiss of charity. Peace be with you all that are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
