5To the elders among you, I appeal as a fellow elder, a witness of Christ's
sufferings and one who also will share in the glory to be revealed:
2Be shepherds of God's flock that is under your care, serving as overseers--not
because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not greedy
for money, but eager to serve;
3not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock.
4And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will
never fade away.
5Young men, in the same way be submissive to those who are older. All of you,
clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, "God opposes the
proud but gives grace to the humble."
6Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in
due time.
7Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
8Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion
looking for someone to devour.
9Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers
throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings.
10And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you
have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and
steadfast.
11To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen.
12With the help of Silas, whom I regard as a faithful brother, I have written to you
briefly, encouraging you and testifying that this is the true grace of God. Stand fast in
it.
13She who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, sends you her greetings, and so
does my son Mark.
14Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace to all of you who are in Christ.
