1 Peter 5
1 I want to encourage the elders among you. I'm also an elder, a witness to Christ's sufferings, and I will share in the glory that is to come.
Πρεσβυτέρους (οὖν *NO*) (τοὺς *ko*) ἐν ὑμῖν παρακαλῶ ὁ συμπρεσβύτερος καὶ μάρτυς τῶν τοῦ Χριστοῦ παθημάτων, ὁ καὶ τῆς μελλούσης ἀποκαλύπτεσθαι δόξης κοινωνός,
2 Look after God's flock you have been given to care for, watching over it not because you're forced to, but gladly, as God wants you to. Do this willingly, not looking to make a profit from it.
ποιμάνατε τὸ ἐν ὑμῖν ποίμνιον τοῦ θεοῦ ἐπισκοποῦντες μὴ ἀναγκαστῶς ἀλλ᾽ ἑκουσίως (κατὰ θεόν, *NO*) μηδὲ αἰσχροκερδῶς ἀλλὰ προθύμως·
3 Don't be arrogant, lording it over those who have been put in your care, but be an example to the flock.
μηδ᾽ ὡς κατακυριεύοντες τῶν κλήρων ἀλλὰ τύποι γινόμενοι τοῦ ποιμνίου·
4 When the chief Shepherd appears, you will receive a glorious crown that will never fade.
καὶ φανερωθέντος τοῦ ἀρχιποίμενος κομιεῖσθε τὸν ἀμαράντινον τῆς δόξης στέφανον.
5 Young people, do what the elders tell you. Indeed all of you should serve one another in humility, because “God is against the proud, but favors the humble.”
Ὁμοίως νεώτεροι, ὑποτάγητε πρεσβυτέροις, πάντες δὲ ἀλλήλοις (ὑποτασσόμενοι *k*) τὴν ταπεινοφροσύνην ἐγκομβώσασθε, ὅτι ὁ θεὸς ὑπερηφάνοις ἀντιτάσσεται, ταπεινοῖς δὲ δίδωσιν χάριν.
6 Humble yourself before God's powerful hand so that he will lift you up at the appropriate time.
ταπεινώθητε οὖν ὑπὸ τὴν κραταιὰν χεῖρα τοῦ θεοῦ, ἵνα ὑμᾶς ὑψώσῃ ἐν καιρῷ,
7 Surrender all your worries to him, because he cares for you.
πᾶσαν τὴν μέριμναν ὑμῶν ἐπιρίψαντες ἐπ᾽ αὐτόν, ὅτι αὐτῷ μέλει περὶ ὑμῶν.
8 Be responsible, and stay alert. The devil, your enemy, is prowling around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.
νήψατε, γρηγορήσατε (ὅτι, *k*) ὁ ἀντίδικος ὑμῶν διάβολος ὡς λέων ὠρυόμενος περιπατεῖ ζητῶν (τινα καταπιεῖν· *N(k)O*)
9 Stand firm against him, trusting in God. Remember that your fellow-believers around the world are going through similar troubles.
ᾧ ἀντίστητε στερεοὶ τῇ πίστει εἰδότες τὰ αὐτὰ τῶν παθημάτων τῇ ἐν (τῷ *no*) κόσμῳ ὑμῶν ἀδελφότητι ἐπιτελεῖσθαι.
10 After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace who called you into his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore you, support you, strengthen you, and give you a solid foundation. (aiōnios g166)
Ὁ δὲ θεὸς πάσης χάριτος ὁ καλέσας (ὑμᾶς *N(K)O*) εἰς τὴν αἰώνιον αὐτοῦ δόξαν ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ, ὀλίγον παθόντας αὐτὸς (καταρτίσει *N(k)O*) (ὑμᾶς, *k*) (στηρίξει, σθενώσει, θεμελιώσει. *N(k)O*) (aiōnios g166)
αὐτῷ (ἡ δόξα καὶ *K*) τὸ κράτος εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας (τῶν *ko*) (αἰώνων. *KO*) ἀμήν. (aiōn g165)
12 With the help of Silvanus, whom I consider a trustworthy brother, I send this letter to you. In these few words I've written I want to encourage you and testify that this is the true grace of God. Stand firm in God's grace!
Διὰ Σιλουανοῦ ὑμῖν τοῦ πιστοῦ ἀδελφοῦ, ὡς λογίζομαι, δι᾽ ὀλίγων ἔγραψα παρακαλῶν καὶ ἐπιμαρτυρῶν ταύτην εἶναι ἀληθῆ χάριν τοῦ θεοῦ, εἰς ἣν (στῆτε. *N(k)O*)
13 The believers here in “Babylon,” chosen together with you, send their greetings to you, as does Mark, my son.
Ἀσπάζεται ὑμᾶς ἡ ἐν Βαβυλῶνι συνεκλεκτὴ καὶ Μᾶρκος ὁ υἱός μου.
14 Greet each other with a kiss of love. Peace to all of you who are in Christ.
ἀσπάσασθε ἀλλήλους ἐν φιλήματι ἀγάπης. εἰρήνη ὑμῖν πᾶσιν τοῖς ἐν Χριστῷ (Ἰησοῦ. ἀμήν. *K*)
