King James Version
As
a
fellow
elder, a witness of Christ’s
sufferings, and a partaker of the glory to
be revealed ,
I
appeal
to
the
elders
among
you
:
The
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:
Be
shepherds
of
God’s
flock that
is among you, watching
over
them
not out
of
compulsion
, but because
it
is
God’s
will
; not out
of
greed
, but out
of eagerness
;
Feed
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
;
not
lording
it
over those
entrusted
to
you
, but being examples
to the flock.
Neither
as
being
lords
over God's
heritage
, but being ensamples
to the flock.
And when the Chief Shepherd appears
, you
will
receive the
crown of glory that will
never
fade
away.
And when the chief Shepherd shall
appear
, ye
shall
receive a
crown of glory that fadeth
not
away.
Young
men
, in
the
same
way
, submit yourselves to
your
elders
. And
all of you ,
clothe
yourselves
with
humility
toward
one another, because,
“
God opposes
the proud, but
gives
grace to the humble. ”
Likewise
, 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.
Humble yourselves ,
therefore ,
under God’s
mighty hand, so
that in
due
time
He may exalt you .
Humble yourselves therefore under the
mighty hand of
God
, that he may exalt you in
due
time:
Cast
all your anxiety
on
Him ,
because
He cares
for you.
Casting
all your care
upon
him ;
for
he careth
for you.
Be sober -minded
and
alert.
Your adversary the devil prowls
around
like
a roaring lion, seeking someone
to
devour .
Be sober ,
be
vigilant;
because
your adversary the devil ,
as
a roaring lion, walketh
about,
seeking whom
he
may
devour :
Resist him,
standing
firm
in
your
faith
and
in the knowledge
that your
brothers
throughout
the world
are undergoing
the same
kinds
of
suffering
.
Whom
resist stedfast
in the faith,
knowing
that the same
afflictions
are accomplished
in
your
brethren
that
are
in
the world
.
And
after
you
have
suffered
for
a
little
while,
the God of all grace, who has
called you
to
His eternal glory in
Christ, will
Himself
restore
you
, secure
you, strengthen you
, and
establish
you.
But
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.
To Him be the
power
forever
and ever. Amen.
To him be glory
and dominion
for
ever and
ever
. Amen.
Through
Silvanus, 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 firm
in
it
.
By
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.
The church in
Babylon, chosen
together with you, sends
you greetings,
as
does
my son Mark
.
The church that
is
at
Babylon, elected
together with you, saluteth
you ;
and
so
doth
Marcus
my son.
Greet one another with a kiss of love
. Peace to
all
of
you who
are in Christ.
Greet ye
one another with a kiss of charity
. Peace be
with
you all
that
are in Christ Jesus
. Amen.
