1 Peter 5

1 The elders that are among you I exhort, who am a fellow-elder, and a witness of the sufferings of the Christ, and a sharer in the glory that is to be revealed.

πρεσβυτερους τους εν υμιν παρακαλω ο συμπρεσβυτερος και μαρτυς των του χριστου παθηματων ο και της μελλουσης αποκαλυπτεσθαι δοξης κοινωνος

2 Act as shepherds to the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight, not by compulsion, but willingly; not for the sake of sordid gain, but from readiness of mind:

ποιμανατε το εν υμιν ποιμνιον του θεου επισκοπουντες μη αναγκαστως αλλ εκουσιως μηδε αισχροκερδως αλλα προθυμως

3 neither as being lords over God’s possessions, but being examples to the flock.

μηδε ως κατακυριευοντες των κληρων αλλα τυποι γινομενοι του ποιμνιου

4 And when the chief shepherd shall appear, you shall receive the crown of glory that fades not away.

και φανερωθεντος του αρχιποιμενος κομιεισθε τον αμαραντινον της δοξης στεφανον

5 Likewise, you younger, be in subjection to the older: do you all indeed be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resists the proud, but gives grace to the lowly.

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 strong hand of God, that he may exalt you in due season.

ταπεινωθητε ουν υπο την κραταιαν χειρα του θεου ινα υμας υψωση εν καιρω

7 Cast all your cares on him, for he cares for you.

πασαν την μεριμναν υμων επιρριψαντες επ αυτον οτι αυτω μελει περι υμων

8 Be sober, be watchful: for your adversary, the devil, like a roaring lion, walks about, seeking whom he may devour.

νηψατε γρηγορησατε ο αντιδικος υμων διαβολος ως λεων ωρυομενος περιπατει ζητων τινα καταπιη

9 Being firm in the faith, resist him, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren who are in the world.

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 has called us to his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, make you perfect, establish, strengthen, confirm you. (aiōnios g166)

ο δε θεος πασης χαριτος ο καλεσας υμας εις την αιωνιον αυτου δοξαν εν χριστω ιησου ολιγον παθοντας αυτος καταρτισαι υμας στηριξει σθενωσει θεμελιωσει (aiōnios g166)

11 To him be glory and dominion from age to age. Amen. (aiōn g165)

αυτω η δοξα και το κρατος εις τους αιωνας των αιωνων αμην (aiōn g165)

12 By Sylvanus, a faithful brother to you, as I suppose, I have written 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 The church in Babylon, elected together with you, salutes you, and so does Marcus my son.

ασπαζεται υμας η εν βαβυλωνι συνεκλεκτη και μαρκος ο υιος μου

14 Salute one another with a kiss of love. Peace be with you all that are in Christ Jesus.

ασπασασθε αλληλους εν φιληματι αγαπης ειρηνη υμιν πασιν τοις εν χριστω ιησου αμην
