劝勉做长老的

我这做长老、做基督受苦的见证、同享后来所要显现之荣耀的,劝你们中间与我同做长老的人: 务要牧养在你们中间神的群羊,按着神旨意照管他们,不是出于勉强,乃是出于甘心;也不是因为贪财,乃是出于乐意; 也不是辖制所托付你们的,乃是做群羊的榜样。 到了牧长显现的时候,你们必得那永不衰残的荣耀冠冕。

劝年幼的当以谦卑束腰

你们年幼的,也要顺服年长的。就是你们众人也都要以谦卑束腰,彼此顺服,因为“神阻挡骄傲的人,赐恩给谦卑的人”。 所以,你们要自卑,服在神大能的手下,到了时候他必叫你们升高。

须将忧虑卸给神

你们要将一切的忧虑卸给神,因为他顾念你们。 务要谨守、警醒,因为你们的仇敌魔鬼如同吼叫的狮子,遍地游行,寻找可吞吃的人。 你们要用坚固的信心抵挡它,因为知道你们在世上的众弟兄也是经历这样的苦难。 10 那赐诸般恩典的神,曾在基督里召你们得享他永远的荣耀,等你们暂受苦难之后,必要亲自成全你们,坚固你们,赐力量给你们。 11 愿权能归给他,直到永永远远!阿门。

12 我略略地写了这信,托我所看为忠心的兄弟西拉转交你们,劝勉你们,又证明这恩是神的真恩。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问你们安。我儿子马可也问你们安。 14 你们要用爱心彼此亲嘴问安。愿平安归于你们凡在基督里的人!

Shepherd the Flock of God

So I exhort the elders among you, (A)as a fellow elder and (B)a witness of the sufferings of Christ, as well as a partaker in the glory that is going to be revealed: (C)shepherd the flock of God that is among you, exercising oversight,[a] (D)not under compulsion, but willingly, as God would have you;[b] (E)not for shameful gain, but eagerly; not (F)domineering over those in your charge, but (G)being examples to the flock. And when (H)the chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the (I)unfading (J)crown of glory. Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. (K)Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for (L)“God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”

(M)Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, (N)casting all your anxieties on him, because (O)he cares for you. (P)Be sober-minded; (Q)be watchful. Your (R)adversary the devil (S)prowls around (T)like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. (U)Resist him, (V)firm in your faith, knowing that (W)the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world. 10 And (X)after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, (Y)who has called you to his (Z)eternal glory in Christ, will himself (AA)restore, (AB)confirm, strengthen, and establish you. 11 (AC)To him be the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

Final Greetings

12 By (AD)Silvanus, a faithful brother as I regard him, (AE)I have written briefly to you, exhorting and declaring that this is (AF)the true grace of God. (AG)Stand firm in it. 13 She who is at Babylon, who is likewise chosen, sends you greetings, and so does (AH)Mark, my son. 14 (AI)Greet one another with the kiss of love.

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