¹ G4245 The elders G1722 which are among G5213 you G3870 I exhort [G5719]   G3588 , who G4850 am also an elder G2532 , and G3144 a witness G3804 of the sufferings G5547 of Christ G2532 , and also G2844 a partaker G1391 of the glory G3195 that shall [G5723]   G601 be revealed [G5745]  :

² G4165 Feed [G5657]   G4168 the flock G2316 of God G1722 which is among G5213 you G1983 , taking the oversight [G5723]   G3361 thereof, not G317 by constraint G235 , but G1596 willingly G3366 ; not G147 for filthy lucre G235 , but G4290 of a ready mind;

³ G3366 Neither G5613 as G2634 being lords over [G5723]   G2819 God's heritage G235 , but G1096 being [G5740]   G5179 ensamples G4168 to the flock.

⁴ G2532 And G750 when the chief Shepherd G5319 shall appear [G5685]   G2865 , ye shall receive [G5695]   G4735 a crown G1391 of glory G262 that fadeth not away.

⁵ G3668 Likewise G3501 , ye younger G5293 , submit yourselves [G5649]   G4245 unto the elder G1161 . Yea G3956 , all G5293 of you be subject [G5746]   G240 one to another G1463 , and be clothed [G5663]   G5012 with humility G3754 : for G2316 God G498 resisteth [G5731]   G5244 the proud G1161 , and G1325 giveth [G5719]   G5485 grace G5011 to the humble.

⁶ G5013 Humble yourselves [G5682]   G3767 therefore G5259 under G2900 the mighty G5495 hand G2316 of God G2443 , that G5312 he may exalt [G5661]   G5209 you G1722 in G2540 due time:

⁷ G1977 Casting [G5660]   G3956 all G5216 your G3308 care G1909 upon G846 him G3754 ; for G846 he G3199 careth [G5719]   G4012 for G5216 you.

⁸ G3525 Be sober [G5657]   G1127 , be vigilant [G5657]   G3754 ; because G5216 your G476 adversary G1228 the devil G5613 , as G5612 a roaring [G5740]   G3023 lion G4043 , walketh about [G5719]   G2212 , seeking [G5723]   G5101 whom G2666 he may devour [G5632]  :

⁹ G3739 Whom G436 resist [G5628]   G4731 stedfast G4102 in the faith G1492 , knowing [G5761]   G846 that the same G3804 afflictions G2005 are accomplished [G5745]   G5216 in your G81 brethren G1722 that are in G2889 the world.

¹⁰ G1161 But G2316 the God G3956 of all G5485 grace G3588 , who G2564 hath called [G5660]   G2248 us G1519 unto G846 his G166 eternal G1391 glory G1722 by G5547 Christ G2424 Jesus G3958 , after that ye have suffered [G5631]   G3641 a while G846 , G2675 make G5209 you G2675 perfect [G5659]   G4741 , stablish [G5659]   G4599 , strengthen [G5659]   G2311 , settle [G5659]   you .

¹¹ G846 To him G1391 be glory G2532 and G2904 dominion G1519 for G165 ever G165 and ever G281 . Amen.

¹² G1223 By G4610 Silvanus G4103 , a faithful G80 brother G5213 unto you G5613 , as G3049 I suppose [G5736]   G1125 , I have written [G5656]   G1223 briefly G3641   G3870 , exhorting [G5723]   G2532 , and G1957 testifying [G5723]   G5026 that this G1511 is [G5750]   G227 the true G5485 grace G2316 of God G1519 wherein G3739   G2476 ye stand [G5758]  .

¹³ G1722 The church that is at G897 Babylon G4899 , elected together with G782 you, saluteth [G5736]   G5209 you G2532 ; and G3138 so doth Marcus G3450 my G5207 son.

¹⁴ G782 Greet ye [G5663]   G240 one another G1722 with G5370 a kiss G26 of charity G1515 . Peace G5213 be with you G3956 all G1722 that are in G5547 Christ G2424 Jesus G281 . Amen.
