Shepherd the Flock of God

1So I exhort the elders among you, mas a fellow elder and na witness of the sufferings of Christ, as well as a partaker in the glory that is going to be revealed: 2oshepherd the flock of God that is among you, exercising oversight,1 pnot under compulsion, but willingly, as God would have you;2 qnot for shameful gain, but eagerly; 3not rdomineering over those in your charge, but sbeing examples to the flock. 4And when tthe chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the uunfading vcrown of glory. 5Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. wClothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for x“God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”

6xHumble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, 7ycasting all your anxieties on him, because zhe cares for you. 8aBe sober-minded; bbe watchful. Your cadversary the devil dprowls around elike a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. 9fResist him, gfirm in your faith, knowing that hthe same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world. 10And iafter you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, jwho has called you to his keternal glory in Christ, will himself lrestore, mconfirm, strengthen, and establish you. 11nTo him be the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

Final Greetings

12By oSilvanus, a faithful brother as I regard him, pI have written briefly to you, exhorting and declaring that this is qthe true grace of God. rStand firm in it. 13She who is at Babylon, who is likewise chosen, sends you greetings, and so does sMark, my son. 14tGreet one another with the kiss of love.

uPeace to all of you who are in Christ.
