Admonition to Elders

¹ Therefore, as a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and as one who also shares in the glory that is about to be revealed, I appeal to the elders among you: ² Shepherd God’s flock that is among you, serving as overseers, not grudgingly but willingly, as God desires, ^[1] not because you are greedy for money but because you are eager to do it. ³ Do not lord it over those entrusted to your care, but be examples for the flock. ⁴ And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive an unfading crown of glory.

Final Exhortations

⁵ Likewise, young men, be submissive to those who are older. ^[2] And all of you, clothe yourselves with humility ^[3] toward one another. For “God opposes the proud, but he gives grace to the humble.” ^[4]

⁶ Therefore humble yourselves under God’s powerful hand so that he may lift you up at the appointed time. ^{[5] 7} Cast all your anxiety on him, because he cares for you. ⁸ Have sound judgment. Be alert. Your adversary, ^[6] the Devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. ⁹ Resist him by being firm in the faith. You know that the same kinds of sufferings are being laid on your brotherhood ^[7] all over the world.

¹⁰ After you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who called you into his eternal glory in Christ Jesus, will himself restore, establish, strengthen, and support you. ¹¹ To him be the glory and ^[8] the power forever and ever. Amen.

Final Greetings

¹² I have written to you briefly (through Silas, ^[9] whom I consider a faithful brother), to encourage you and to testify that this is the true grace of God. Stand firm in it. ¹³ She who is in Babylon, who was chosen along with you, greets you. So does Mark, my son. ¹⁴ Greet one another with a kiss of love.

Peace to all of you who are in Christ Jesus. ^[10]
