1 T he eldersG4245 G3588 amongG1722 youG5213 I exhort,G3870 whoG3588 am a fellow-elder,G4850 andG2532 a witnessG3144 of the sufferingsG3804 of Christ,G5547 who am alsoG2532 a partakerG2844 of the gloryG1391 that shallG3195 be revealed:G601
2 TendG4165 the flockG4168 of GodG2316 which is amongG1722 you,G5213 exercising the oversight,G1983 notG3361 of constraint,G317 butG235 willingly,G1596 according to [the will of] God; norG3366 yet for filthy lucre,G147 butG235 of a ready mind;G4290
3 neitherG3366 asG5613 lording it overG2634 the chargeG2819 allotted to you, butG235 makingG1096 yourselves ensamplesG5179 to the flock.G4168
4 And whenG2532 the chief ShepherdG750 shall be manifested,G5319 ye shall receiveG2865 the crownG4735 of gloryG1391 that fadeth not away.G262
5 Likewise,G3668 yeG240 younger,G3501 be subjectG5293 unto the elder.G4245 Yea,G1161 allG3956 of you gird yourselves withG1463 humility,G5012 to serve one another:G5293 forG3754 GodG2316 resistethG498 the proud,G5244 butG1161 givethG1325 graceG5485 to the humble.G5011
6 Humble yourselvesG5013 thereforeG3767 underG5259 the mightyG2900 handG5495 of God,G2316 thatG2443 he may exaltG5312 youG5209 inG1722 due time;G2540
7 castingG1977 allG3956 yourG5216 anxietyG3308 uponG1909 him,G846 becauseG3754 heG846 carethG3199 forG4012 you.G5216
8 Be sober,G3525 be watchful:G1127 G3754 yourG5216 adversaryG476 the devil,G1228 asG5613 a roaringG5612 lion,G3023 walketh about,G4043 seekingG2212 whomG5101 he may devour,G2666
9 whomG3739 withstandG436 stedfastG4731 in your faith,G4102 knowing thatG1492 the sameG846 sufferingsG3804 are accomplishedG2005 in yourG5216 brethrenG81 who are inG1722 the world.G2889
10 AndG1161 the GodG2316 of allG3956 grace,G5485 whoG3588 calledG2564 youG2248 untoG1519 hisG846 eternalG166 gloryG1391 inG1722 Christ,G5547 G2424 after that ye have sufferedG3958 a little while,G3641 shallG2675 himselfG846 G5209 perfect,G2675 establish,G4741 strengthenG4599 you.G2311
11 To himG846 [be] the G1391 dominionG2904 forG1519 everG165 andG2532 ever.G165 Amen.G281
12 ByG1223 Silvanus,G4610 our faithfulG4103 brother,G80 asG5613 I accountG3049 [him], IG1223 have writtenG1125 unto youG5213 briefly,G3641 exhorting,G3870 andG2532 testifyingG1957 that thisG3778 isG1511 the trueG227 graceG5485 of God.G2316 StandG2476 ye fast G3739 therein.G1519
13 She that is inG1722 Babylon,G897 elect together withG4899 [you],G5209 salutethG782 you;G5209 andG2532 [so doth] Mark myG3450 son.G5207
14 SaluteG782 one anotherG240 withG1722 a kissG5370 of love.G26 PeaceG1515 be unto youG5213 allG3956 thatG3588 are inG1722 G2424 Christ.G5547
