< 1 Peter 5 >

1 Therefore I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and who will also share in the glory that will be revealed:
πρεσβυτερους τους εν υμιν παρακαλω ο συμπρεσβυτερος και μαρτυς των του χριστου παθηματων ο και της μελλουσης αποκαλυπτεσθαι δοξης κοινωνος
2 shepherd the flock of God which is among you, exercising the oversight, not under compulsion, but voluntarily; not for dishonest gain, but willingly;
ποιμανατε το εν υμιν ποιμνιον του θεου επισκοπουντες μη αναγκαστως αλλ εκουσιως μηδε αισχροκερδως αλλα προθυμως
3 not as lording it over those entrusted to you, but making yourselves examples to the flock.
μηδ ως κατακυριευοντες των κληρων αλλα τυποι γινομενοι του ποιμνιου
4 When the chief Shepherd is revealed, you will receive the crown of glory that does not fade away.
και φανερωθεντος του αρχιποιμενος κομιεισθε τον αμαραντινον της δοξης στεφανον
5 Likewise, you younger ones, be subject to the elder. Yes, all of you clothe yourselves with humility and subject yourselves to one another; for “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”
ομοιως νεωτεροι υποταγητε πρεσβυτεροις παντες δε αλληλοις υποτασσομενοι την ταπεινοφροσυνην εγκομβωσασθε οτι ο θεος υπερηφανοις αντιτασσεται ταπεινοις δε διδωσιν χαριν
6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time,
ταπεινωθητε ουν υπο την κραταιαν χειρα του θεου ινα υμας υψωση εν καιρω
7 casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you.
πασαν την μεριμναν υμων επιρριψαντες επ αυτον οτι αυτω μελει περι υμων
8 Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
νηψατε γρηγορησατε οτι ο αντιδικος υμων διαβολος ως λεων ωρυομενος περιπατει ζητων τινα καταπιη
9 Withstand him steadfast in your faith, knowing that your brothers who are in the world are undergoing the same sufferings.
ω αντιστητε στερεοι τη πιστει ειδοτες τα αυτα των παθηματων τη εν κοσμω υμων αδελφοτητι επιτελεισθαι
10 But may the God of all grace, who called you to his consummate (aiōnios g166) glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.
ο δε θεος πασης χαριτος ο καλεσας ημας εις την αιωνιον αυτου δοξαν εν χριστω ιησου ολιγον παθοντας αυτος καταρτισαι υμας στηριξαι σθενωσαι θεμελιωσαι (aiōnios g166)
11 To him be the power for the ages (aiōn g165) of the ages (aiōn g165). Amen.
αυτω η δοξα και το κρατος εις τους αιωνας των αιωνων αμην (aiōn g165)
12 Through Silvanus, our faithful brother, as I consider him, I have written to you briefly, exhorting and testifying that this is the true grace of God in which you stand.
δια σιλουανου υμιν του πιστου αδελφου ως λογιζομαι δι ολιγων εγραψα παρακαλων και επιμαρτυρων ταυτην ειναι αληθη χαριν του θεου εις ην εστηκατε
13 She who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, greets you. So does Mark, my son.
ασπαζεται υμας η εν βαβυλωνι συνεκλεκτη και μαρκος ο υιος μου
14 Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace be to all of you who are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
ασπασασθε αλληλους εν φιληματι αγαπης ειρηνη υμιν πασιν τοις εν χριστω ιησου αμην
