1 Peter 5
1 So I exhort the Elders among you--I who am their fellow Elder and have been an eye-witness of the sufferings of the Christ, and am also a sharer in the glory which is soon to be revealed.
ⲁ̅ϯⲡⲁⲣⲁⲕⲁⲗⲉⲓ ϭⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲡⲣⲉⲥⲃⲩⲧⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲉⲧⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ϩⲱⲥ ϣⲃⲣⲡⲣⲉⲥⲃⲩⲧⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ⲛⲙⲙⲟⲕϩⲥ ⲙⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲱⲥ ⲟⲓⲕⲟⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲙⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲛⲁϭⲱⲗⲡ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ
2 Be shepherds of God's flock which is among you. Exercise the oversight not reluctantly but eagerly, in accordance with the will of God; not for base gain but with cheerful minds;
ⲃ̅ϫⲉ ⲙⲟⲟⲛⲉ ⲙⲡⲟϩⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲧⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩϩⲧⲟⲣ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉϩⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲛⲧⲙⲁⲓ ϩⲏⲩ ⲛϣⲗⲟϥ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲟⲩⲣⲟⲧ
3 not lording it over your Churches but proving yourselves patterns for the flock to imitate.
ⲅ̅ϩⲱⲥ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲟ ⲁⲛ ⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲉⲛⲉⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲥ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲛⲧⲩⲡⲟⲥ ⲉⲡⲟϩⲉ
4 And then, when the chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the never-withering wreath of glory.
ⲇ̅ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉϥϣⲁⲛⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲛⲟϭ ⲛϣⲱⲥ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛϫⲓ ⲙⲡⲉⲕⲗⲟⲙ ⲙⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲙⲉϥϩⲱϭⲃ
5 In the same way you younger men must submit to your elders; and all of you must gird yourselves with humility towards one another, for God sets Himself against the proud, but gives grace to the humble.
ⲉ̅ⲛϣⲏⲣⲉ ϣⲏⲙ ⲟⲛ ⲛⲧⲉⲓϩⲉ ⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲛⲥⲁ ⲛⲉⲡⲣⲉⲥⲃⲩⲧⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲛⲧⲱⲧⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲏⲣⲧⲛ ⲑⲃⲃⲉⲓⲉ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲛⲉⲣⲏⲩ ϫⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϯ ⲟⲩⲃⲉ ⲛⲛϫⲁⲥⲓ ϩⲏⲧ ϥϯ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲟⲩϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲑⲃⲃⲓⲏⲩ
6 Humble yourselves therefore beneath the mighty hand of God, so that at the right time He may set you on high.
ⲋ̅ⲑⲃⲃⲓⲉ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ϭⲉ ϩⲁ ⲧϭⲓϫ ⲉⲧϫⲟⲟⲣ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲧⲁⲣⲉϥϫⲉⲥ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ
7 Throw the whole of your anxiety upon Him, because He Himself cares for you.

8 Curb every passion, and be on the alert. Your great accuser, the Devil, is going about like a roaring lion to see whom he can devour.
ⲏ̅ⲛⲏⲫⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲣⲟⲉⲓⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲧⲓⲇⲓⲕⲟⲥ ⲡⲇⲓⲁⲃⲟⲗⲟⲥ ϥⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ⲉϥⲉⲗϩⲏⲙ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲓⲙⲟⲩⲓ ⲉϥϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲥⲁ ⲱⲙⲕ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲙⲯⲩⲭⲏ
9 Withstand him, firm in your faith; knowing that your brethren in other parts of the world are passing through just the same experiences.
ⲑ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁϩⲉ ⲣⲁⲧ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛϫⲟⲟⲣ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϩⲛ ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲛⲉⲓϩⲓⲥⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ϫⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲙⲛⲧ ⲥⲟⲛ ⲉⲧϩⲙ ⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ
10 And God, the giver of all grace, who has called you to share His eternal glory, through Christ, after you have suffered for a short time, will Himself make you perfect, firm, and strong. (aiōnios g166)

12 I send this short letter by Silas, our faithful brother--for such I regard him--in order to encourage you, and to bear witness that what I have told you is the true grace of God. In it stand fast.

13 The Church in Babylon, chosen like yourselves by God, sends greetings, and so does Mark my son.

14 Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace be with all of you who are in Christ.
