| 5:1 | The elders who are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed: |
| 5:2 | Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight [of it], not by constraint, but willingly; not for dishonest gain, but from a ready mind; |
| 5:3 | Neither as being lords over [God's] heritage, but being examples to the flock. |
| 5:4 | And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away. |
| 5:5 | Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves to the elder. Yea, all [of you] be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. |
| 5:6 | Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: |
| 5:7 | Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. |
| 5:8 | Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: |
| 5:9 | Whom resist steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. |
| 5:10 | But the God of all grace, who hath called us to his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle [you]. |
| 5:11 | To him [be] glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. |
| 5:12 | By Silvanus, 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 ye stand. |
| 5:13 | The [church that is] at Babylon, elected together with [you], greeteth you; and [so doth] Mark my son. |
| 5:14 | Greet ye one another with a kiss of charity. Peace [be] with you all that are in Christ Jesus. Amen. |
