彼得前书 5
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
務要牧養 神的羊群
5 我這同作長老，也是為基督受苦作見證，又是同享將來所要顯現的榮耀的，勸你們當中作長老的： 2 務要牧養在你們中間的 神的羊群，按著 神的旨意看顧他們。不是出於勉強，而是出於甘心；不是因為貪財，而是出於熱誠； 3 也不是要轄制託付你們的羊群，而是作他們的榜樣。 4 到了牧長顯現的時候，你們必定得著那永不衰殘的榮耀冠冕。
5 照樣，你們青年人要順服年長的。就是你們各人也要彼此以謙卑為裝束，因為
“ 神敵擋驕傲的人，
賜恩給謙卑的人。”
6 所以你們要謙卑，服在 神大能的手下，到了時候，他必叫你們升高。 7 你們要把一切憂慮卸給 神，因為他顧念你們。
8 你們要謹守、警醒。你們的仇敵魔鬼，好像吼叫的獅子走來走去，尋找可以吞吃的人； 9 你們要用堅強的信心抵擋他，因為知道你們在世上的弟兄，也經歷過同樣的苦難。 10 但滿有恩典的 神，就是在基督裡召你們進入他永遠榮耀的那一位，在你們受了短暫的苦難之後，必定親自成全你們，堅固你們，賜力量給你們，建立你們。 11 願權能歸給他，直到永遠。阿們。
勸勉和祝福
12 我藉著我認為忠心的弟兄西拉，簡略地寫了這封信勸勉你們，又向你們證實這是 神真正的恩典；你們要在這恩典上站立得住。 13 在巴比倫與你們同蒙揀選的，和我兒子馬可都問候你們。 14 你們要用愛心彼此親吻問安。願平安歸與你們所有在基督裡的人。
1 Peter 5
Lexham English Bible
Leadership and Humility
5 Therefore I, your fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and[a] also a sharer of the glory that is going to be revealed, exhort the elders among you: 2 shepherd the flock of God among you, exercising oversight not by compulsion but willingly, in accordance with God, and not greedily but eagerly, 3 and not as lording it over those under your care[b], but being examples for the flock. 4 And when[c] the chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the unfading crown of glory.
5 In the same way, younger men, be subject to the elders, and all of you clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble. 6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, so that he may exalt you at the right time, 7 casting all your cares on him, because he cares[d] for you.
8 Be sober; be on the alert. Your adversary the devil walks around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. 9 Resist him[e], steadfast in your[f] faith, because you[g] know the same kinds of sufferings are being accomplished by your community of believers in the world. 10 And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ,[h] after you[i] have suffered for a short time, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. 11 To him be the power forever and ever[j].[k] Amen.
Conclusion and Final Greetings
12 Through Silvanus, the faithful brother (as I consider him), I have written to you briefly[l] to encourage you and to attest that this is the true grace of God. Stand firm in it. 13 She who is in Babylon, chosen the same as you, greets you, and so does my son Mark. 14 Greet one another with a loving kiss. Peace to all of you who are in Christ.
