• 1 Now I have something to say to the elders in your group. I am also an elder. I myself have seen Christ's sufferings. And I will share in the glory that will be shown to us. I beg you to
• 2 take care of the group of people you are responsible for. They are God's flock. Watch over that flock because you want to, not because you are forced to do it. That is how God wants it. Do it because you are happy to serve, not because you want money.
• 3 Don't be like a ruler over those you are responsible for. But be good examples to them.
• 4 Then when Christ the Ruling Shepherd comes, you will get a crown —one that will be glorious and never lose its beauty.
• 5 Young people, I have something to say to you too. You should accept the authority of the elders. You should all have a humble attitude in dealing with each other. "God is against the proud, but he is kind to the humble."
• 6 So be humble under God's powerful hand. Then he will lift you up when the right time comes.
• 7 Give all your worries to him, because he cares for you.
• 8 Control yourselves and be careful! The devil is your enemy, and he goes around like a roaring lion looking for someone to attack and eat.
• 9 Refuse to follow the devil. Stand strong in your faith. You know that your brothers and sisters all over the world are having the same sufferings that you have.
• 10 Yes, you will suffer for a short time. But after that, God will make everything right. He will make you strong. He will support you and keep you from falling. He is the God who gives all grace. He chose you to share in his glory in Christ. That glory will continue forever.
• 11 All power is his forever. Amen.
• 12 Silas will bring this letter to you. I know that he is a faithful brother in Christ. I wrote this short letter to encourage you. I wanted to tell you that this is the true grace of God. Stand strong in that grace.
• 13 The church in Babylon sends you greetings. They were chosen just as you were. Mark, my son in Christ, also sends his greetings.
• 14 Give each other a special greeting of love when you meet. Peace to all of you who are in Christ.

• 3 Do not be bosses over the people you lead. Live as you would like to have them live.
• 4 When the Head Shepherd comes again, you will get the crown of shining-greatness that will not come to an end.
• 5 In the same way, you younger men must obey the church leaders. Be gentle as you care for each other. God works against those who have pride. He gives His loving-favor to those who do not try to honor themselves.
• 6 So put away all pride from yourselves. You are standing under the powerful hand of God. At the right time He will lift you up.
• 7 Give all your worries to Him because He cares for you.
• 8 Keep awake! Watch at all times. The devil is working against you. He is walking around like a hungry lion with his mouth open. He is looking for someone to eat.
• 9 Stand against him and be strong in your faith. Remember, other Christians over all the world are suffering the same as you are.
• 10 After you have suffered for awhile, God Himself will make you perfect. He will keep you in the right way. He will give you strength. He is the God of all loving-favor and has called you through Christ Jesus to share His shining-greatness forever.
• 11 God has power over all things forever. Let it be so.
• 12 I have known Silvanus as a faithful Christian brother and it is by him I have written this short letter to help you. It tells you of the true loving-favor of God. Stay true in His loving-favor.

• 4 Then when Christ, the Chief Shepherd, comes, you will get a glorious crown that will never lose its beauty.
• 5 In the same way, younger people should be willing to be under older people. And all of you should be very humble with each other. "God is against the proud, but he gives grace to the humble."

• 7 Give all your worries to him, because he cares about you.

• 10 And after you suffer for a short time, God, who gives all grace, will make everything right. He will make you strong and support you and keep you from falling. He called you to share in his glory in Christ, a glory that will continue forever.

• 1 I, a fellow elder, exhort the elders among you, I being also witness of the sufferings of Christ, and being sharer of the glory about to be revealed:
• 2 Shepherd the flock of God among you, exercising oversight, not by compulsion, but willingly; nor eagerly for base gain, but readily;
• 3 nor as exercising lordship over the ones allotted to you, but becoming examples of the flock.
• 4 And at the appearing of the Chief Shepherd, you will receive the never fading crown of glory.
• 5 Likewise, younger ones be subject to older ones; and all being subject to one another. Put on humility, because God sets Himself "against proud ones, but He gives grace to humble ones." Prov. 3:34
• 6 Then be humbled under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in time;
• 7 "casting all your anxiety onto Him," because it matters to Him concerning you. LXX-Psa. 54:23; MT-Psa. 55:22
• 8 Be sensible, watch, because your adversary the Devil walks about as a roaring lion seeking someone he may devour;
• 9 whom firmly resist in the faith, knowing the same sufferings are being completed in your brotherhood in the world.
• 10 Now the God of all grace, the One calling you to His eternal glory in Christ Jesus, you having suffered a little, Himself will perfect, confirm, strengthen, establish you.
• 11 To Him be the glory and the might forever and ever. Amen.
• 12 I wrote to you by a few words by way of Silvanus the faithful brother, as I reckon, exhorting and witnessing this to be the true grace of God, in which you stand.
• 13 The fellow-elected in Babylon greet you; also Mark my son.

1 Peter 5:1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14

• 1 Therefore, as a fellow elder and witness to the sufferings of the Messiah, and also a participant in the glory about to be revealed, I exhort the elders among you:
• 2 shepherd God's flock among you, not overseeing out of compulsion but freely, according to God's will; not for the money but eagerly;
• 3 not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock.
• 4 And when the chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the unfading crown of glory.
• 5 Likewise, you younger men, be subject to the elders. And all of you clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.
• 6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, so that He may exalt you in due time,
• 7 casting all your care upon Him, because He cares about you.
• 8 Be sober! Be on the alert! Your adversary the Devil is prowling around like a roaring lion, looking for anyone he can devour.
• 9 Resist him, firm in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are being experienced by your brothers in the world.
• 10 Now the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ Jesus, will personally restore, establish, strengthen, and support you after you have suffered a little.
• 11 To Him be the dominion forever. Amen.
• 12 Through Silvanus, whom I consider a faithful brother, I have written briefly, encouraging you and testifying that this is the true grace of God. Take your stand in it!
• 13 She who is in Babylon, also chosen, sends you greetings, as does Mark, my son.
• 14 Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace to all of you who are in Christ.
