5:1 | The elders <4245> which are among <1722> you <5213> I exhort <3870> (5719), who <3588> am also an elder <4850>, and <2532> a witness <3144> of the sufferings <3804> of Christ <5547>, and also <2532> a partaker <2844> of the glory <1391> that shall <3195> (5723) be revealed <601> (5745): |
5:2 | Feed <4165> (5657) the flock <4168> of God <2316> which is among <1722> you <5213>, taking the oversight <1983> (5723) [thereof], not <3361> by constraint <317>, but <235> willingly <1596>; not <3366> for filthy lucre <147>, but <235> of a ready mind <4290>; {which...: or, as much as in you is} |
5:3 | Neither <3366> as <5613> being lords over <2634> (5723) [God's] heritage <2819>, but <235> being <1096> (5740) ensamples <5179> to the flock <4168>. {being lords over: or, overruling} |
5:4 | And <2532> when the chief Shepherd <750> shall appear <5319> (5685), ye shall receive <2865> (5695) a crown <4735> of glory <1391> that fadeth not away <262>. |
5:5 | Likewise <3668>, ye younger <3501>, submit yourselves <5293> (5649) unto the elder <4245>. Yea <1161>, all <3956> [of you] be subject <5293> (5746) one to another <240>, and be clothed <1463> (5663) with humility <5012>: for <3754> God <2316> resisteth <498> (5731) the proud <5244>, and <1161> giveth <1325> (5719) grace <5485> to the humble <5011>. |
5:6 | Humble yourselves <5013> (5682) therefore <3767> under <5259> the mighty <2900> hand <5495> of God <2316>, that <2443> he may exalt <5312> (5661) you <5209> in <1722> due time <2540>: |
5:7 | Casting <1977> (5660) all <3956> your <5216> care <3308> upon <1909> him <846>; for <3754> he <846> careth <3199> (5719) for <4012> you <5216>. |
5:8 | Be sober <3525> (5657), be vigilant <1127> (5657); because <3754> your <5216> adversary <476> the devil <1228>, as <5613> a roaring <5612> (5740) lion <3023>, walketh about <4043> (5719), seeking <2212> (5723) whom <5101> he may devour <2666> (5632): |
5:9 | Whom <3739> resist <436> (5628) stedfast <4731> in the faith <4102>, knowing <1492> (5761) that the same <846> afflictions <3804> are accomplished <2005> (5745) in your <5216> brethren <81> that are in <1722> the world <2889>. |
5:10 | But <1161> the God <2316> of all <3956> grace <5485>, who <3588> hath called <2564> (5660) us <2248> unto <1519> his <846> eternal <166> glory <1391> by <1722> Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>, after that ye have suffered <3958> (5631) a while <3641>, <846> make <2675> (0) you <5209> perfect <2675> (5659), stablish <4741> (5659), strengthen <4599> (5659), settle <2311> (5659) [you]. |
5:11 | To him <846> [be] glory <1391> and <2532> dominion <2904> for <1519> ever <165> and ever <165>. Amen <281>. |
5:12 | By <1223> Silvanus <4610>, a faithful <4103> brother <80> unto you <5213>, as <5613> I suppose <3049> (5736), I have written <1125> (5656) briefly <1223> <3641>, exhorting <3870> (5723), and <2532> testifying <1957> (5723) that this <5026> is <1511> (5750) the true <227> grace <5485> of God <2316> wherein <1519> <3739> ye stand <2476> (5758). |
5:13 | The [church that is] at <1722> Babylon <897>, elected together with <4899> [you], saluteth <782> (5736) you <5209>; and <2532> [so doth] Marcus <3138> my <3450> son <5207>. |
5:14 | Greet ye <782> (5663) one another <240> with <1722> a kiss <5370> of charity <26>. Peace <1515> [be] with you <5213> all <3956> that are in <1722> Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>. Amen <281>. |
