Elders therefore among you, I exhort, a fellow elder and witness of the of Christ sufferings, who [am] also, of the being about to be revealed glory, a partaker:

do shepherd the among you flock of God, exercising oversight not under compulsion, but willingly, according to God; and not for base gain, but eagerly;

not as exercising lordship over those in your charge, but examples being to the flock.

And when was being revealed the Chief Shepherd, you will receive the unfading of glory crown.

Likewise, younger [ones], do be subjected to [your] elders. All now to one another humility do gird on, because, God [the] proud opposes, to [the] humble however He gives grace.”

do be humbled therefore under the mighty hand of God, so that you He may exalt in [due] time,

all the anxiety of you having cast upon Him, because with Him there is care about you.

do be sober-minded; do watch. The adversary of You, [the] devil, as a lion roaring prowls about, seeking whom to devour,

whom do resist firm in the faith, already knowing the same sufferings throughout the world in your brotherhood [is] being accomplished.

The now God of all grace, the [one] having called you to the eternal of Him glory in Christ, Jesus a little while [of you] having suffered, He Himself will perfect he will confirm, he will strengthen, [and] he will establish [you].

To Him [be] the power to the ages Amen..

Through Silvanus, to you the faithful brother as I regard [him], through few [words] I have written, exhorting and testifying this to be [the] true grace of God, in which do stand firm

Greets you she in Babylon, elected with [you], and Mark, the son of me.

do greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace [be] to you all who [are] in Christ
