1 The elders4245 which3588 are among1722 you5213 I exhort,3870 who am also an elder,4850 and2532 a witness3144 of the3588 sufferings3804 of Christ,5547 and2532 also a partaker2844 of the glory1391 that shall3195 be revealed: 601

2 Feed4165 the3588 flock4168 of God2316 which is among1722 you,5213 taking the oversight1983 thereof, not3361 by constraint,317 but235 willingly;1596 not3366 for filthy lucre,147 but235 of a ready mind;4290

3 Neither3366 as5613 being lords over2634 God's heritage,2819 but235 being1096 examples5179 to the3588 flock.4168

4 And2532 when the3588 chief Shepherd750 shall appear,5319 ye shall receive2865 a crown4735 of glory1391 that fadeth not away.262

5 Likewise,3668 ye younger,3501 submit yourselves5293 unto the elder.4245 Yea,1161 all3956 of you be subject5293 one to another,240 and2532 be clothed with1463 humility:5012 for3754 God2316 resisteth498 the proud,5244 and1161 giveth1325 grace5485 to the humble.5011

6 Humble yourselves5013 therefore3767 under5259 the3588 mighty2900 hand5495 of God,2316 that2443 he may exalt5312 you5209 in1722 due time: 2540

7 Casting1977 all3956 your5216 care3308 upon1909 him;846 for3754 he846 careth3199 for4012 you.5216

8 Be sober,3525 be vigilant;1127 because3754 your5216 adversary476 the devil,1228 as5613 a roaring5612 lion,3023 walketh about,4043 seeking2212 whom5101 he may devour: 2666

9 Whom3739 resist436 steadfast4731 in the3588 faith,4102 knowing1492 that the3588 same846 afflictions3804 are accomplished2005 in your5216 brethren81 that are in1722 the world.2889

10 But1161 the3588 God2316 of all3956 grace,5485 who hath called2564 us2248 unto1519 his848 eternal166 glory1391 by1722 Christ5547 Jesus,2424 after that ye have suffered3958 a while,3641 make you perfect,2675 5209 establish,4741 strengthen,4599 settle2311 you.

11 To him846 be glory1391 and2532 dominion2904 forever and ever.1519 165 165 Amen.281

12 By1223 Silvanus,4610 a faithful4103 brother80 unto you,5213 as5613 I suppose,3049 I have written1125 briefly,1223 3641 exhorting,3870 and2532 testifying1957 that this5026 is1511 the true227 grace5485 of God2316 wherein1519 3739 ye stand.2476

13 The3588 church that is at1722 Babylon,897 elected together with4899 you, saluteth782 you;5209 and2532 so doth Mark3138 my3450 son.5207

14 Greet782 ye one another240 with1722 a kiss5370 of charity.26 Peace1515 be with you5213 all3956 that3588 are in1722 Christ5547 Jesus.2424 Amen.281
