< 1 Peter 5 >
1 THE elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:
ⲁ̅ⲛⲓ⳿ⲡⲣⲉⲥⲃⲩⲧⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲉⲧϧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ϯϯ ϩⲟ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡⲣⲉⲥⲃⲩⲧⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲉⲑⲣⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲙⲕⲁⲩϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲱⲟⲩ ⲉⲑⲛⲁϭⲱⲣⲡ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.
2 Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;
ⲃ̅⳿ⲁⲙⲟⲛⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲟϩⲓ ⲉⲧϧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛϭⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲟⲩϣⲓⲛⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩϭⲓ⳿ⲛϫⲟⲛⲥ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲟⲩⲱϣ ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲫϯ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧⲁϥϫⲓⲣ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲣⲱⲟⲩⲧϥ ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ.
3 Neither as being lords over God’s heritage, but being ensamples to the flock.
ⲅ̅ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳪ ⳿ⲉⲛⲓ⳿ⲕⲗⲏ ⲣⲟⲥ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲁⲣⲓⲧⲩⲡⲟⲥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲟϩⲓ.
4 And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.

5 Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.

6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:

8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.

10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. (aiōnios )

12 By Silvanus, a faithful brother unto you, as I suppose, I have written briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God wherein ye stand.

13 The church that is at Babylon, elected together with you, saluteth you; and so doth Marcus my son.
