1 Peter 5
1 Therefore, I beg the elders who are among you, as one who is also an elder and a witness of the Passion of Christ, who also shares in that glory which is to be revealed in the future:
Πρεσβυτέρους ⸀οὖνἐν ὑμῖν παρακαλῶ ὁ συμπρεσβύτερος καὶ μάρτυς τῶν τοῦ Χριστοῦ παθημάτων, ὁ καὶ τῆς μελλούσης ἀποκαλύπτεσθαι δόξης κοινωνός,
2 pasture the flock of God that is among you, providing for it, not as a requirement, but willingly, in accord with God, and not for the sake of tainted profit, but freely,
ποιμάνατε τὸ ἐν ὑμῖν ποίμνιον τοῦ θεοῦ, ⸀ἐπισκοποῦντεςμὴ ἀναγκαστῶς ἀλλὰ ἑκουσίως ⸂κατὰ θεόν, μηδὲ αἰσχροκερδῶς ἀλλὰ προθύμως,
3 not so as to dominate by means of the clerical state, but so as to be formed into a flock from the heart.
μηδʼ ὡς κατακυριεύοντες τῶν κλήρων ἀλλὰ τύποι γινόμενοι τοῦ ποιμνίου·
4 And when the Leader of pastors will have appeared, you shall secure an unfading crown of glory.
καὶ φανερωθέντος τοῦ ἀρχιποίμενος κομιεῖσθε τὸν ἀμαράντινον τῆς δόξης στέφανον.
5 Similarly, young persons, be subject to the elders. And infuse all humility among one another, for God resists the arrogant, but to the humble he gives grace.
ὁμοίως, νεώτεροι, ὑποτάγητε πρεσβυτέροις. πάντες δὲ ⸀ἀλλήλοιςτὴν ταπεινοφροσύνην ἐγκομβώσασθε, ὅτι Ὁ θεὸς ὑπερηφάνοις ἀντιτάσσεται ταπεινοῖς δὲ δίδωσιν χάριν.
6 And so, be humbled under the powerful hand of God, so that he may exalt you in the time of visitation.
Ταπεινώθητε οὖν ὑπὸ τὴν κραταιὰν χεῖρα τοῦ θεοῦ, ἵνα ὑμᾶς ὑψώσῃ ἐν καιρῷ,
7 Cast all your cares upon him, for he takes care of you.
πᾶσαν τὴν μέριμναν ὑμῶν ἐπιρίψαντες ἐπʼ αὐτόν, ὅτι αὐτῷ μέλει περὶ ὑμῶν.
8 Be sober and vigilant. For your adversary, the devil, is like a roaring lion, traveling around and seeking those whom he might devour.
νήψατε, γρηγορήσατε. ὁ ἀντίδικος ὑμῶν διάβολος ὡς λέων ὠρυόμενος περιπατεῖ ζητῶν ⸀τινα⸀καταπιεῖν
9 Resist him by being strong in faith, being aware that the same passions afflict those who are your brothers in the world.
ᾧ ἀντίστητε στερεοὶ τῇ πίστει, εἰδότες τὰ αὐτὰ τῶν παθημάτων τῇ ἐν ⸀τῷκόσμῳ ὑμῶν ἀδελφότητι ἐπιτελεῖσθαι.
10 But the God of all grace, who has called us to his eternal glory in Christ Jesus, will himself perfect, confirm, and establish us, after a brief time of suffering. (aiōnios g166)
ὁ δὲ θεὸς πάσης χάριτος, ὁ καλέσας ὑμᾶς εἰς τὴν αἰώνιον αὐτοῦ δόξαν ἐν ⸀Χριστῷ ὀλίγον παθόντας αὐτὸς ⸀καταρτίσει στηρίξει, σθενώσει, ⸀θεμελιώσει (aiōnios g166)
⸀αὐτῷτὸ κράτος εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας ⸂τῶν αἰώνων· ἀμήν. (aiōn g165)
12 I have written briefly, through Sylvanus, whom I consider to be a faithful brother to you, begging and testifying that this is the true grace of God, in which you have been established.
Διὰ Σιλουανοῦ ὑμῖν τοῦ πιστοῦ ἀδελφοῦ, ὡς λογίζομαι, διʼ ὀλίγων ἔγραψα, παρακαλῶν καὶ ἐπιμαρτυρῶν ταύτην εἶναι ἀληθῆ χάριν τοῦ θεοῦ· εἰς ἣν ⸀στῆτε
13 The Church which is in Babylon, elect together with you, greets you, as does my son, Mark.
ἀσπάζεται ὑμᾶς ἡ ἐν Βαβυλῶνι συνεκλεκτὴ καὶ Μᾶρκος ὁ υἱός μου.
14 Greet one another with a holy kiss. Grace be to all of you who are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
ἀσπάσασθε ἀλλήλους ἐν φιλήματι ἀγάπης. εἰρήνη ὑμῖν πᾶσιν τοῖς ἐν ⸀Χριστῷ
