Πετρου Α΄ 5
1 πρεσβυτερους τους εν υμιν παρακαλω ο συμπρεσβυτερος και μαρτυς των του χριστου παθηματων ο και της μελλουσης αποκαλυπτεσθαι δοξης κοινωνος
The elders which [are] among you I exhort, who [am their] fellow-elder and witness of the sufferings of the Christ, who also [am] partaker of the glory about to be revealed:
2 ποιμανατε το εν υμιν ποιμνιον του θεου επισκοπουντες μη αναγκαστως αλλ εκουσιως μηδε αισχροκερδως αλλα προθυμως
shepherd the flock of God which [is] among you, exercising oversight, not by necessity, but willingly; not for base gain, but readily;
3 μηδ ως κατακυριευοντες των κληρων αλλα τυποι γινομενοι του ποιμνιου
not as lording it over your possessions, but being models for the flock.
4 και φανερωθεντος του αρχιποιμενος κομιεισθε τον αμαραντινον της δοξης στεφανον
And when the chief shepherd is manifested ye shall receive the unfading crown of glory.
5 ομοιως νεωτεροι υποταγητε πρεσβυτεροις παντες δε αλληλοις υποτασσομενοι την ταπεινοφροσυνην εγκομβωσασθε οτι ο θεος υπερηφανοις αντιτασσεται ταπεινοις δε διδωσιν χαριν
Likewise [ye] younger, be subject to [the] elder, and all of you bind on humility towards one another; for God sets himself against [the] proud, but to [the] humble gives grace.
6 ταπεινωθητε ουν υπο την κραταιαν χειρα του θεου ινα υμας υψωση εν καιρω
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in [the due] time;
7 πασαν την μεριμναν υμων επιρριψαντες επ αυτον οτι αυτω μελει περι υμων
having cast all your care upon him, for he cares about you.
8 νηψατε γρηγορησατε οτι ο αντιδικος υμων διαβολος ως λεων ωρυομενος περιπατει ζητων τινα καταπιη
Be vigilant, watch. Your adversary [the] devil as a roaring lion walks about seeking whom he may devour.
9 ω αντιστητε στερεοι τη πιστει ειδοτες τα αυτα των παθηματων τη εν κοσμω υμων αδελφοτητι επιτελεισθαι
Whom resist, stedfast in faith, knowing that the selfsame sufferings are accomplished in your brotherhood which [is] in [the] world.
10 ο δε θεος πασης χαριτος ο καλεσας ημας εις την αιωνιον αυτου δοξαν εν χριστω ιησου ολιγον παθοντας αυτος καταρτισαι υμας στηριξαι σθενωσαι θεμελιωσαι (aiōnios g166)
But the God of all grace who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ Jesus, when ye have suffered for a little while, himself shall make perfect, stablish, strengthen, ground: (aiōnios g166)
to him [be] the glory and the might for the ages of the ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
12 δια σιλουανου υμιν του πιστου αδελφου ως λογιζομαι δι ολιγων εγραψα παρακαλων και επιμαρτυρων ταυτην ειναι αληθη χαριν του θεου εις ην εστηκατε
By Silvanus, the faithful brother, as I suppose, I have written to you briefly; exhorting and testifying that this is [the] true grace of God in which ye stand.
13 ασπαζεται υμας η εν βαβυλωνι συνεκλεκτη και μαρκος ο υιος μου
She that is elected with [you] in Babylon salutes you, and Marcus my son.
14 ασπασασθε αλληλους εν φιληματι αγαπης ειρηνη υμιν πασιν τοις εν χριστω ιησου αμην
Salute one another with a kiss of love. Peace be with you all who [are] in Christ.
