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!

Tending the Flock of God

I exhort the elders who are among you, as one who is also an elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ as well as a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed: Shepherd the flock of God that is among you, take care of them, not by constraint, but willingly, not for dishonest gain, but eagerly. Do not lord over those in your charge, but be examples to the flock. And when the chief Shepherd appears, you will receive a crown of glory that will not fade away.

Likewise you younger ones, submit yourselves to the elders. Yes, all of you be submissive one to another and clothe yourselves with humility, because

“God resists the proud,
    but gives grace to the humble.”[a]

Humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time. Cast all your care upon Him, because He cares for you.

Be sober and watchful, because your adversary the devil walks around as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him firmly in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world.

10 But after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called us to His eternal glory through Christ Jesus, will restore, support, strengthen, and establish you. 11 To Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

Final Greetings

12 With the help of Silas, whom I consider to be a faithful brother to you, I have written briefly, exhorting you and testifying that this is the true grace of God in which you stand.

13 The church that is at Babylon, elect together with you, greets you, and so does Mark, my son. 14 Greet one another with a kiss of love.

Peace be with all you who are in Christ Jesus. Amen.

勸勉長老

我是基督受苦的見證人,將分享以後所顯明的榮耀。我以長老的身分勸你們中間作長老的: 務要牧養上帝託付給你們的羊群,按著上帝的旨意甘心樂意地照顧他們,不是出於勉強,不是為了謀利,而是出於熱誠。 不要辖制託付給你們的羊群,而是要做群羊的榜樣。 等到大牧長顯現的時候,你們必得到永不衰殘的榮耀冠冕。

你們年輕的要順服年長的,大家都要存謙卑的心彼此服侍。因為上帝阻擋驕傲的人,恩待謙卑的人。 所以你們要在上帝大能的手下謙卑,時候到了,祂必擢升你們。 你們要把一切憂慮卸給上帝,因為祂眷顧你們。

你們務要謹慎,警醒,因為你們的仇敵魔鬼好像咆哮的獅子四處遊走,尋找可以吞吃的獵物。 你們要以堅固的信心抵擋牠,要知道世界各地的弟兄姊妹在遭受同樣的苦難。 10 你們忍受短暫的苦難之後,廣施恩典、在基督裡呼召你們享受祂永遠榮耀的上帝必親自復興你們,使你們剛強、篤定、堅立。 11 願權能歸給祂,直到永永遠遠。阿們!

問候

12 在忠心的弟兄西拉的幫助下,我簡單地寫了這封信勸勉你們,並證明這是上帝真實的恩典。你們務要在這恩典上站穩。

13 在巴比倫和你們一同蒙揀選的教會問候你們,我的兒子馬可也問候你們。 14 你們要以愛心彼此親吻問候。

願平安歸給你們所有在基督裡的人!

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.
