About the Elders
5 Therefore, as a fellow elder and witness(A) to the sufferings of the Messiah and also a participant in the glory about to be revealed,(B) I exhort the elders among you: 2 Shepherd God’s flock among you,(C) not overseeing[a] out of compulsion but freely, according to God’s will;[b] not for the money but eagerly; 3 not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock. 4 And when the chief Shepherd(D) appears, you will receive the unfading crown(E) of glory.
5 In the same way, you younger men, be subject to the elders. And all of you clothe yourselves with[c] humility toward one another, because
6 Humble(G) yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand(H) of God, so that He may exalt you at the proper time,[e] 7 casting all your care on Him, because He cares about you.(I)
Conclusion
8 Be serious!(J) Be alert!(K) Your adversary the Devil(L) is prowling around like a roaring lion, looking for anyone he can devour. 9 Resist him(M) and be firm in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are being experienced by your fellow believers throughout the world.
10 Now the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory(N) in Christ Jesus, will personally[f] restore, establish, strengthen, and support you after you have suffered a little.[g] 11 The dominion[h] belongs to Him forever.[i] Amen.
12 I have written you this brief letter through Silvanus[j](O) (I know him to be a faithful brother) to encourage you and to testify that this is the true grace of God. Take your stand in it! 13 The church in Babylon,[k](P) also chosen, sends you greetings, as does Mark, my son. 14 Greet one another with a kiss of love.(Q) Peace(R) to all of you who are in Christ.[l]

Adviezen voor de gemeente
5 Ik ben zelf een leider in de gemeente. En ik heb zelf gezien hoe Christus heeft geleden. En net als jullie zal ik mijn deel krijgen van de heerlijke hemelse dingen die nog komen. 2 Daarom moedig ik de leiders in jullie gemeente aan, om als goede herders voor Gods kudde te zorgen. Zorg goed voor je gemeente. Niet omdat iemand jullie daartoe dwingt, maar uit vrije wil, omdat God dat van jullie vraagt. Ook niet omdat jullie denken daardoor rijk te kunnen worden, maar omdat jullie God graag willen gehoorzamen. 3 En doe het niet om over anderen te kunnen heersen, maar om een voorbeeld te zijn voor de gemeente. 4 En als dan de Grote Herder komt, zal Hij jullie je hemelse, eeuwige beloning geven.
5 Jonge mensen, wees gehoorzaam aan de leiders in de gemeente. Wees bescheiden tegen elkaar. Want God is tegen trotse mensen. Maar voor bescheiden mensen is Hij vriendelijk en goed.
6 Gehoorzaam God van harte. Dan zal Hij jullie eren als daarvoor het juiste moment is gekomen. 7 Gooi alles waar je je zorgen over maakt maar in Gods handen, want Hij zorgt voor je.
8 Wees verstandig en let goed op. Jullie vijand, de duivel, loopt rond als een brullende leeuw die een prooi zoekt. Hij zoekt wie hij kan verslinden. 9 Verzet je tegen hem, sterk in je geloof. Vergeet niet dat je broeders en zusters over de hele wereld dezelfde problemen meemaken als jij.
10 Maar de God die één en al liefde en goedheid is, heeft jullie in Christus geroepen om voor eeuwig bij Hem te zijn. Hij zal jullie, na een korte tijd van lijden, volmaakt en sterk maken. 11 Van Hem is alle eer en macht, voor eeuwig! Amen! Zo is het!
Groeten
12 Ik heb deze korte brief laten opschrijven door Silvanus, die volgens mij een heel goede broeder is. Ik wilde jullie met deze brief bemoedigen. En ik wil jullie zeggen dat wat hierboven staat, geschreven is vanuit Gods liefde. Jullie moeten daar stevig aan vasthouden.
13 Jullie moeten de groeten hebben van jullie mede-gemeente in Babylon, en van mijn zoon Markus. 14 Groet elkaar liefdevol met een kus.
Ik bid dat Gods vrede zal zijn bij ieder van jullie die bij Christus hoort.

The Message
He’ll Promote You at the Right Time
5 1-3 I have a special concern for you church leaders. I know what it’s like to be a leader, in on Christ’s sufferings as well as the coming glory. Here’s my concern: that you care for God’s flock with all the diligence of a shepherd. Not because you have to, but because you want to please God. Not calculating what you can get out of it, but acting spontaneously. Not bossily telling others what to do, but tenderly showing them the way.
4-5 When God, who is the best shepherd of all, comes out in the open with his rule, he’ll see that you’ve done it right and commend you lavishly. And you who are younger must follow your leaders. But all of you, leaders and followers alike, are to be down to earth with each other, for—
God has had it with the proud,
But takes delight in just plain people.
6-7 So be content with who you are, and don’t put on airs. God’s strong hand is on you; he’ll promote you at the right time. Live carefree before God; he is most careful with you.
He Gets the Last Word
8-11 Keep a cool head. Stay alert. The Devil is poised to pounce, and would like nothing better than to catch you napping. Keep your guard up. You’re not the only ones plunged into these hard times. It’s the same with Christians all over the world. So keep a firm grip on the faith. The suffering won’t last forever. It won’t be long before this generous God who has great plans for us in Christ—eternal and glorious plans they are!—will have you put together and on your feet for good. He gets the last word; yes, he does.
12 I’m sending this brief letter to you by Silas, a most dependable brother. I have the highest regard for him.
I’ve written as urgently and accurately as I know how. This is God’s generous truth; embrace it with both arms!
13-14 The church in exile here with me—but not for a moment forgotten by God—wants to be remembered to you. Mark, who is like a son to me, says hello. Give holy hugs all around! Peace to you—to all who walk in Christ’s ways.

To the Elders and the Flock
5 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) 2 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; 3 not lording it over(G) those entrusted to you, but being examples(H) to the flock. 4 And when the Chief Shepherd(I) appears, you will receive the crown of glory(J) that will never fade away.(K)
5 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,
6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.(O) 7 Cast all your anxiety on him(P) because he cares for you.(Q)
8 Be alert and of sober mind.(R) Your enemy the devil prowls around(S) like a roaring lion(T) looking for someone to devour. 9 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.
