Be Shepherds of God’s Flock

5Therefore, as a fellow elder, a witness of the Messiah's sufferings, and one who shares in the glory to be revealed, I appeal to the elders among you:G4245G1722G5213G3870G3588G4850G2532G3144G3804G5547G2532G2844G1391G3195G601
2Be shepherds of God's flock that is among you, watching over it, not because you must but because you want to, and not greedily but eagerly, as God desires.G4165G4168G2316G1722G5213G1983G3361G317G235G1596G3366G147G235G4290
3Do not lord it over the people entrusted to you, but be examples to the flock.G3366G5613G2634G2819G235G1096G5179G4168
4Then, when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the victor's crown of glory that will never fade away.G2532G750G5319G2865G4735G1391G262

Be Humble and Alert

5In a similar way, you young people must submit to the elders. All of you must clothe yourselves with humility for the sake of each other, because: "God opposes the arrogant, but gives grace to the humble."G3668G3501G5293G4245G1161G3956G5293G240G1463G5012G3754G2316G498G5244G1161G1325G5485G5011
6Therefore, humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, so that at the proper time he may exalt you.G5013G3767G5259G2900G5495G2316G2443G5312G5209G1722G2540
7Throw all your worry on him, because he cares for you.G1977G3956G5216G3308G1909G846G3754G846G3199G4012G5216
8Be clear-minded and alert. Your opponent, the devil, is prowling around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.G3525G1127G3754G5216G476G1228G5613G5612G3023G4043G2212G5101G2666
9Resist him and be firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kinds of suffering.G3739G436G4731G4102G1492G846G3804G2005G5216G81G1722G2889
10After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who called you by the Messiah Jesus to his eternal glory, will restore you, establish you, strengthen you, and support you.G1161G2316G3956G5485G3588G2564G2248G1519G846G166G1391G1722G5547G2424G3958G3641G846G2675G5209G2675G4741G4599G2311
11Power belongs to him forever and ever! Amen.G846G1391G2532G2904G1519G165G165G281

Final Greeting

12Through Silvanus, whom I regard as a faithful brother, I have written this short letter to encourage you and to testify that this is to be the true grace of God in which you are to stand firm!G1223G4610G4103G80G5213G5613G3049G1125G1223G3641G3870G2532G1957G5026G1511G227G5485G2316G1519G3739G2476
13Your sister church in Babylon, chosen along with you, sends you greetings, as does Mark, whom I regard as a son.G1722G897G4899G782G5209G2532G3138G3450G5207
14Greet one another with a loving kiss. Peace be to all of you who are in the Messiah!G782G240G1722G5370G26G1515G5213G3956G1722G5547G2424G281
