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:

ⲁ̅ϯⲡⲁⲣⲁⲕⲁⲗⲉⲓ ϭⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲡⲣⲉⲥⲃⲩⲧⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲉⲧⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ϩⲱⲥ ϣⲃⲣⲡⲣⲉⲥⲃⲩⲧⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ⲛⲙⲙⲟⲕϩⲥ ⲙⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲱⲥ ⲟⲓⲕⲟⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲙⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲛⲁϭⲱⲗⲡ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ

2 shepherd the flock of God which is among you, exercising the oversight, not under compulsion, but voluntarily; not for dishonest gain, but willingly;

ⲃ̅ϫⲉ ⲙⲟⲟⲛⲉ ⲙⲡⲟϩⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲧⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩϩⲧⲟⲣ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉϩⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲛⲧⲙⲁⲓ ϩⲏⲩ ⲛϣⲗⲟϥ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲟⲩⲣⲟⲧ

3 not as lording it over those entrusted to you, but making yourselves examples to the flock.

ⲅ̅ϩⲱⲥ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲟ ⲁⲛ ⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲉⲛⲉⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲥ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲛⲧⲩⲡⲟⲥ ⲉⲡⲟϩⲉ

4 When the chief Shepherd is revealed, you will receive the crown of glory that doesn’t fade away.

ⲇ̅ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉϥϣⲁⲛⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲛⲟϭ ⲛϣⲱⲥ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛϫⲓ ⲙⲡⲉⲕⲗⲟⲙ ⲙⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲙⲉϥϩⲱϭⲃ

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.”

ⲉ̅ⲛϣⲏⲣⲉ ϣⲏⲙ ⲟⲛ ⲛⲧⲉⲓϩⲉ ⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲛⲥⲁ ⲛⲉⲡⲣⲉⲥⲃⲩⲧⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲛⲧⲱⲧⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲏⲣⲧⲛ ⲑⲃⲃⲉⲓⲉ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲛⲉⲣⲏⲩ ϫⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϯ ⲟⲩⲃⲉ ⲛⲛϫⲁⲥⲓ ϩⲏⲧ ϥϯ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲟⲩϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲑⲃⲃⲓⲏⲩ

6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time,

ⲋ̅ⲑⲃⲃⲓⲉ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ϭⲉ ϩⲁ ⲧϭⲓϫ ⲉⲧϫⲟⲟⲣ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲧⲁⲣⲉϥϫⲉⲥ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ

7 casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you.

ⲍ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲛⲟⲩϫⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲛⲣⲟⲟⲩϣ ⲧⲏⲣϥ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲡⲉⲧϥⲓⲣⲟⲟϣ ϩⲁⲣⲱⲧⲛ

8 Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.

ⲏ̅ⲛⲏⲫⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲣⲟⲉⲓⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲧⲓⲇⲓⲕⲟⲥ ⲡⲇⲓⲁⲃⲟⲗⲟⲥ ϥⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ⲉϥⲉⲗϩⲏⲙ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲓⲙⲟⲩⲓ ⲉϥϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲥⲁ ⲱⲙⲕ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲙⲯⲩⲭⲏ

9 Withstand him steadfast in your faith, knowing that your brothers who are in the world are undergoing the same sufferings.

ⲑ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁϩⲉ ⲣⲁⲧ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛϫⲟⲟⲣ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϩⲛ ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲛⲉⲓϩⲓⲥⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ϫⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲙⲛⲧ ⲥⲟⲛ ⲉⲧϩⲙ ⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ

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)

ⲓ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲉϩⲙ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲉϥⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲛϣⲁ ⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲉⲧϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲓⲥ ⲉⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛϣⲡ ϩⲓⲏⲥⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲕⲟⲩⲓ ⲛⲧⲟϥ ϥⲛⲁⲥⲃⲧⲉ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲛϥⲧⲁϫⲣⲉ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲛϥϯ ϭⲟⲙ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲛϥϯⲥⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ (aiōnios g166)

11 To him be the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)

ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲉⲧⲉⲡⲱϥ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲁⲙⲁϩⲧⲉ ⲛϣⲁ ⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲛⲉⲛⲉϩ ϩⲁⲙⲏⲛ (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.

ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲛⲑⲉ ⲉϯⲙⲉⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲛⲧⲁⲓⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲛϩⲉⲛⲕⲟⲩⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲥⲓⲗⲟⲩⲁⲛⲟⲥ ⲡⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲛⲥⲟⲛ ⲉⲓⲡⲁⲣⲁⲕⲁⲗⲉⲓ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲓⲉⲣⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ϫⲉ ⲧⲁⲓ ⲧⲉ ⲧⲉⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ⲙⲙⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲧⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲥ

13 She who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, greets you. So does Mark, my son.

ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲥϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ ⲛϭⲓ ⲉⲕⲗⲉⲕⲧⲏ ⲉⲧϩⲛ ⲧⲃⲁⲃⲩⲗⲟⲛ ⲙⲛ ⲙⲁⲣⲕⲟⲥ ⲡⲁϣⲏⲣⲉ

14 Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace be to all of you who are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
