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:
我這作長老、作基督受苦的見證、同享後來所要顯現之榮耀的，勸你們中間與我同作長老的人：
2 shepherd the flock of God which is among you, exercising the oversight, not under compulsion, but voluntarily; not for dishonest gain, but willingly;
務要牧養在你們中間上帝的群羊，按着上帝旨意照管他們；不是出於勉強，乃是出於甘心；也不是因為貪財，乃是出於樂意；
3 not as lording it over those entrusted to you, but making yourselves examples to the flock.
也不是轄制所託付你們的，乃是作群羊的榜樣。
4 When the chief Shepherd is revealed, you will receive the crown of glory that doesn’t fade away.
到了牧長顯現的時候，你們必得那永不衰殘的榮耀冠冕。
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.”
你們年幼的，也要順服年長的。就是你們眾人也都要以謙卑束腰，彼此順服；因為 上帝阻擋驕傲的人， 賜恩給謙卑的人。
6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time,
所以，你們要自卑，服在上帝大能的手下，到了時候，他必叫你們升高。
7 casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you.
你們要將一切的憂慮卸給上帝，因為他顧念你們。
8 Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
務要謹守，警醒。因為你們的仇敵魔鬼，如同吼叫的獅子，遍地遊行，尋找可吞吃的人。
9 Withstand him steadfast in your faith, knowing that your brothers who are in the world are undergoing the same sufferings.
你們要用堅固的信心抵擋他，因為知道你們在世上的眾弟兄也是經歷這樣的苦難。
10 But may the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. (aiōnios g166)
那賜諸般恩典的上帝曾在基督裏召你們，得享他永遠的榮耀，等你們暫受苦難之後，必要親自成全你們，堅固你們，賜力量給你們。 (aiōnios g166)
願權能歸給他，直到永永遠遠。阿們！ (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.
我略略地寫了這信，託我所看為忠心的兄弟西拉轉交你們，勸勉你們，又證明這恩是上帝的真恩。你們務要在這恩上站立得住。
13 She who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, greets you. So does Mark, my son.
在巴比倫與你們同蒙揀選的教會問你們安。我兒子馬可也問你們安。
14 Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace be to all of you who are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
你們要用愛心彼此親嘴問安。願平安歸與你們凡在基督裏的人！
