1 Pedro 5
Magandang Balita Biblia (with Deuterocanon)
Pangangalaga at Pagiging Handa
5 Sa matatandang namumuno sa inyo, nananawagan ako bilang isa ring matandang pinuno ng iglesya na tulad ninyo, bilang saksi sa mga paghihirap ni Cristo at sapagkat makakabahagi ako sa karangalang malapit nang ipahayag. 2 Pangalagaan(A) ninyo ang kawan ng Diyos na ipinagkatiwala sa inyo. Gawin ninyo ito nang maluwag sa loob at hindi napipilitan lamang. [Iyan ang nais ng Diyos].[a] Gampanan ninyo ang inyong tungkulin, hindi dahil sa kabayaran kundi dahil gusto ninyong makapaglingkod, 3 hindi bilang panginoon ng inyong nasasakupan, kundi maging halimbawa kayo sa kawan. 4 At pagparito ng Pinunong Pastol ay tatanggap kayo ng maluwalhating koronang di kukupas kailanman.
5 At(B) kayo namang mga kabataan, pasakop kayo sa matatandang pinuno ng iglesya. At kayong lahat ay magpakumbaba sapagkat, “Sinasalungat ng Diyos ang mapagmataas, ngunit pinagpapala niya ang mababang-loob.” 6 Kaya(C) nga, pasakop kayo sa kapangyarihan ng Diyos at dadakilain niya kayo pagdating ng takdang panahon. 7 Ipagkatiwala(D) ninyo sa kanya ang inyong mga alalahanin sa buhay sapagkat siya ay nagmamalasakit sa inyo.
8 Maging handa kayo at magbantay. Ang diyablo, ang kaaway ninyo, ay parang leong umuungal at aali-aligid na naghahanap ng malalapa. 9 Labanan ninyo siya at magpakatatag kayo sa inyong pananampalataya sa Diyos. Tulad ng alam ninyo, hindi lamang kayo ang nagtitiis ng mga kahirapan, kundi gayundin ang inyong mga kapatid sa buong daigdig. 10 Pagkatapos ninyong magtiis sa loob ng maikling panahon, ang Diyos, na siyang pinanggagalingan ng lahat ng pagpapala, ang siyang magbibigay sa inyo ng kagalingan, katatagan, at lakas ng loob at isang pundasyong di matitinag. Siya ang tumawag sa inyo upang makibahagi kayo sa kanyang walang hanggang kaluwalhatian, kasama ni Cristo. 11 Sa kanya ang kapangyarihan magpakailanman! Amen.
Pangwakas na Tagubilin
12 Sinulatan(E) ko kayo sa tulong ni Silas,[b] na isa nating kapatid at lubos kong pinagkakatiwalaan. Sa pamamagitan ng maikling sulat na ito ay nais kong palakasin ang inyong loob at magpatotoo na ito nga ang kagandahang-loob ng Diyos. Manatili kayo sa pagpapalang ito.
13 Kinukumusta(F) kayo ng mga kapatid na nasa Babilonia, mga pinili ring katulad ninyo; kinukumusta rin kayo ni Marcos, na aking anak sa pananampalataya. 14 Magbatian kayo bilang magkakapatid na nagmamahalan.[c]
Ang kapayapaan ay sumainyong lahat na mga nakipag-isa kay Cristo.
1 Peter 5
New King James Version
Shepherd the Flock
5 The elders who are among you I exhort, I who am a fellow elder and a (A)witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the (B)glory that will be revealed: 2 (C)Shepherd the flock of God which is among you, serving as overseers, (D)not by compulsion but [a]willingly, (E)not for dishonest gain but eagerly; 3 nor as (F)being [b]lords over (G)those entrusted to you, but (H)being examples to the flock; 4 and when (I)the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive (J)the crown of glory that does not fade away.
Submit to God, Resist the Devil
5 Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, (K)all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for
6 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, 7 casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.
8 Be [c]sober, be [d]vigilant; [e]because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. 9 Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world. 10 But [f]may the God of all grace, (N)who called [g]us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, [h]perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. 11 (O)To Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.
Farewell and Peace
12 By (P)Silvanus, our faithful brother as I consider him, I have written to you briefly, exhorting and testifying (Q)that this is the true grace of God in which you stand.
13 She who is in Babylon, elect together with you, greets you; and so does (R)Mark my son. 14 Greet one another with a kiss of love.
Peace to you all who are in Christ Jesus. Amen.

Names of God Bible
Instructions for Spiritual Leaders
5 I appeal to your spiritual leaders.[a] I make this appeal as a spiritual leader who also witnessed Christ’s sufferings and will share in the glory that will be revealed. 2 Be shepherds over the flock God has entrusted to you. Watch over it as God does: Don’t do this because you have to, but because you want to. Don’t do it out of greed, but out of a desire to serve. 3 Don’t be rulers over the people entrusted to you, but be examples for the flock to follow. 4 Then, when the chief shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away.
Instructions for Christians
5 Young people, in a similar way, place yourselves under the authority of spiritual leaders.
Furthermore, all of you must serve each other with humility, because God opposes the arrogant but favors the humble. 6 Be humbled by God’s power so that when the right time comes he will honor you.
7 Turn all your anxiety over to God because he cares for you. 8 Keep your mind clear, and be alert. Your opponent the devil is prowling around like a roaring lion as he looks for someone to devour. 9 Be firm in the faith and resist him, knowing that other believers throughout the world are going through the same kind of suffering. 10 God, who shows you his kindness[b] and who has called you through Christ Yeshua to his eternal glory, will restore you, strengthen you, make you strong, and support you as you suffer for a little while. 11 Power belongs to him forever. Amen.
Farewell
12 I’ve written this short letter to you and I’m sending it by Silvanus, whom I regard as a faithful brother. I’ve written to encourage you and to testify that this is God’s genuine good will.[c] Remain firmly established in it!
13 Your sister church in Babylon, chosen by God, and my son Mark send you greetings. 14 Greet each other with a kiss of love. Peace to all of you who are in Christ.
