New Living Translation

1To the elders among you, I appeal as a fellow elder and a witness of Christ's sufferings who also will share in the glory to be revealed:

1And now, a word to you who are elders in the churches. I, too, am an elder and a witness to the sufferings of Christ. And I, too, will share in his glory when he is revealed to the whole world. As a fellow elder, I appeal to you:

2Be shepherds of God's flock that is under your care, watching over them--not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not pursuing dishonest gain, but eager to serve;

2Care for the flock that God has entrusted to you. Watch over it willingly, not grudgingly—not for what you will get out of it, but because you are eager to serve God.

3not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock.

3Don’t lord it over the people assigned to your care, but lead them by your own good example.

4And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away.

4And when the Great Shepherd appears, you will receive a crown of never-ending glory and honor.

5In the same way, you who are younger, submit yourselves to your elders. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, "God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble."

5In the same way, you who are younger must accept the authority of the elders. And all of you, dress yourselves in humility as you relate to one another, for “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”

6Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.

6So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time he will lift you up in honor.

7Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.

7Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.

8Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.

8Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.

9Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.

9Stand firm against him, and be strong in your faith. Remember that your family of believers all over the world is going through the same kind of suffering you are.

10And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.

10In his kindness God called you to share in his eternal glory by means of Christ Jesus. So after you have suffered a little while, he will restore, support, and strengthen you, and he will place you on a firm foundation.

11To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen.

11All power to him forever! Amen. Peter’s Final Greetings

12With the help of Silas, whom I regard as a faithful brother, I have written to you briefly, encouraging you and testifying that this is the true grace of God. Stand fast in it.

12I have written and sent this short letter to you with the help of Silas, whom I commend to you as a faithful brother. My purpose in writing is to encourage you and assure you that what you are experiencing is truly part of God’s grace for you. Stand firm in this grace.

13She who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, sends you her greetings, and so does my son Mark.

13Your sister church here in Babylon sends you greetings, and so does my son Mark.

14Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace to all of you who are in Christ.

14Greet each other with a kiss of love. Peace be with all of you who are in Christ.
