牧养 神的羊群

所以,我这同作长老,作基督受苦的证人和分享将来所要显现的荣耀的人,勉励在你们中间的长老们: 务要牧养在你们当中 神的群羊,按着 神的旨意照顾他们[a],不是出于勉强,而是出于甘心;也不是因为贪财,而是出于乐意。 不要辖制所托付你们的群羊,而是要作他们的榜样。 到了大牧人显现的时候,你们必得到那永不衰残、荣耀的冠冕。

同样,你们年轻的,要顺服年长的。你们大家都要以谦卑当衣服穿上,彼此顺服,因为

“ 神抵挡骄傲的人,
但赐恩给谦卑的人。”

所以,你们要谦卑服在 神大能的手下,这样,到了适当的时候,他必使你们升高。 你们要将一切的忧虑卸给 神,因为他顾念你们。

务要谨慎,要警醒。因为你们的仇敌魔鬼,如同咆哮的狮子,走来走去,寻找可吞吃的人。 你们要用坚固的信心抵挡他,因为知道你们在世上的众弟兄也正在经历这样的苦难。 10 那赐一切恩典的 神曾在基督[b]里召了你们,得享他永远的荣耀,在你们暂受苦难之后,必要亲自成全你们,坚固你们,赐力量给你们,建立你们[c] 11 愿权能归给他,直到永永远远。阿们!

问安

12 我简单地写了这信,托我所看为忠心的弟兄西拉交给你们,劝勉你们,又证明这恩是 神真实的恩典;你们务要在这恩上站立得住。 13 巴比伦与你们同蒙拣选的教会向你们问安。我儿子马可也向你们问安。 14 你们要用爱心彼此亲吻问安。愿平安[d]归给你们所有在基督里的人!

劝勉长老

我是基督受苦的见证人,将分享以后所显明的荣耀。我以长老的身份劝你们中间做长老的: 务要牧养上帝托付给你们的羊群,按着上帝的旨意甘心乐意地照顾他们,不是出于勉强,不是为了谋利,而是出于热诚。 不要辖制托付给你们的羊群,而是要做群羊的榜样。 等到大牧长显现的时候,你们必得到永不衰残的荣耀冠冕。

你们年轻的要顺服年长的,大家都要存谦卑的心彼此服侍。因为上帝阻挡骄傲的人,恩待谦卑的人。 所以你们要在上帝大能的手下谦卑,时候到了,祂必擢升你们。 你们要把一切忧虑卸给上帝,因为祂眷顾你们。

你们务要谨慎,警醒,因为你们的仇敌魔鬼好像咆哮的狮子四处游走,寻找可以吞吃的猎物。 你们要以坚固的信心抵挡它,要知道世界各地的弟兄姊妹在遭受同样的苦难。 10 你们忍受短暂的苦难之后,广施恩典、在基督里呼召你们享受祂永远荣耀的上帝必亲自复兴你们,使你们刚强、笃定、坚立。 11 愿权能归给祂,直到永永远远。阿们!

问候

12 在忠心的弟兄西拉的帮助下,我简单地写了这封信劝勉你们,并证明这是上帝真实的恩典。你们务要在这恩典上站稳。

13 在巴比伦和你们一同蒙拣选的教会问候你们,我的儿子马可也问候你们。 14 你们要以爱心彼此亲吻问候。

愿平安归给你们所有在基督里的人!

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:

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;

Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being examples to the flock.

And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.

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.

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

Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

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

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.

11 To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

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.

14 Greet ye one another with a kiss of charity. Peace be with you all that are in Christ Jesus. Amen.

To the Elders and the Flock

To the elders among you, I appeal as a fellow elder(A) and a witness(B) of Christ’s sufferings who also will share in the glory to be revealed:(C) Be shepherds of God’s flock(D) that is under your care, watching over them—not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be;(E) not pursuing dishonest gain,(F) but eager to serve; not lording it over(G) those entrusted to you, but being examples(H) to the flock. And when the Chief Shepherd(I) appears, you will receive the crown of glory(J) that will never fade away.(K)

In the same way, you who are younger, submit yourselves(L) to your elders. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility(M) toward one another, because,

“God opposes the proud
    but shows favor to the humble.”[a](N)

Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.(O) Cast all your anxiety on him(P) because he cares for you.(Q)

Be alert and of sober mind.(R) Your enemy the devil prowls around(S) like a roaring lion(T) looking for someone to devour. Resist him,(U) standing firm in the faith,(V) because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.(W)

10 And the God of all grace, who called you(X) to his eternal glory(Y) in Christ, after you have suffered a little while,(Z) will himself restore you and make you strong,(AA) firm and steadfast. 11 To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen.(AB)

Final Greetings

12 With the help of Silas,[b](AC) whom I regard as a faithful brother, I have written to you briefly,(AD) encouraging you and testifying that this is the true grace of God. Stand fast in it.(AE)

13 She who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, sends you her greetings, and so does my son Mark.(AF) 14 Greet one another with a kiss of love.(AG)

Peace(AH) to all of you who are in Christ.
