YOUNG'S LITERAL TRANSLATION

5:1 Elders who `are' among you, I exhort, who `am' a fellow-elder, and a witness of the sufferings of the Christ, and of the glory about to be revealed a partaker,

5:2 feed the flock of God that `is' among you, overseeing not constrainedly, but willingly, neither for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind,

5:3 neither as exercising lordship over the heritages, but patterns becoming of the flock,

5:4 and at the manifestation of the chief Shepherd, ye shall receive the unfading crown of glory.

5:5 In like manner, ye younger, be subject to elders, and all to one another subjecting yourselves; with humble-mindedness clothe yourselves, because God the proud doth resist, but to the humble He doth give grace;

5:6 be humbled, then, under the powerful hand of God, that you He may exalt in good time,

5:7 all your care having cast upon Him, because He careth for you.

5:8 Be sober, vigilant, because your opponent the devil, as a roaring lion, doth walk about, seeking whom he may swallow up,

5:9 whom resist, stedfast in the faith, having known the same sufferings to your brotherhood in the world to be accomplished.

5:10 And the God of all grace, who did call you to His age-during glory in Christ Jesus, having suffered a little, Himself make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle `you';

5:11 to Him `is' the glory, and the power -- to the ages and the ages! Amen.

5:12 Through Silvanus, to you the faithful brother, as I reckon, through few `words' I did write, exhorting and testifying this to be the true grace of God in which ye have stood.

5:13 Salute you doth the `assembly' in Babylon jointly elected, and Markus my son.

5:14 Salute ye one another in a kiss of love; peace to you all who `are' in Christ Jesus! Amen.
