1 Peter 5
1599 Geneva Bible
5 1 He warneth the Elders not to usurp authority over the Church, 5 willing the younger sort to be willing to be taught, and to be modest, 8 to be sober and watchful to resist the cruel adversary.
1 The [a]Elders which are among you, [b]I beseech which am also an Elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed,
2 [c][d]Feed the [e]flock of God, [f]which dependeth upon you, [g]caring for it not by constraint, but willingly: not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind:
3 Not as though ye were Lords over God’s [h]heritage, but that ye may be examples to the flock.
4 [i]And when that chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive an incorruptible crown of glory.
5 [j]Likewise ye younger submit yourselves unto the Elders, and submit yourselves every man, one to another: (A)deck yourselves inwardly in lowliness of mind: [k]for (B)God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.
6 Humble (C)yourselves therefore [l]under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time.
7 (D)Cast all your care on him: for he careth for you.
8 [m]Be sober, and watch: for (E)your adversary the devil as a roaring lion walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
9 Whom resist steadfast in the faith, [n]knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your [o]brethren which are in the world.
10 [p]And the God of all grace, which hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a little, make you perfect, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.
11 To him be glory and dominion forever and ever, Amen.
12 [q]By Silvanus a faithful brother unto you, as I suppose, have I written briefly, exhorting and testifying how that this is the true grace of God, wherein ye stand.
13 [r]The Church that is at [s]Babylon elected together with you, saluteth you, and Mark my son.
14 Greet ye one another with the (F) kiss of love. Peace be with you all which are in Christ Jesus, Amen.

- 1 Peter 5:1 He useth a preface touching the circumstance of his own person: to wit, that he as their companion, communeth with them not of matters which he knoweth not, but wherein he is as well experienced as any, and propoundeth unto them no other condition but that which he himself hath sustained before them, and doth still take the same pains, and also hath one selfsame hope together with them.

5 πρεσβυτερους ουν εν υμιν παρακαλω ο συμπρεσβυτερος και μαρτυς των του χριστου παθηματων ο και της μελλουσης αποκαλυπτεσθαι δοξης κοινωνος
2 ποιμανατε το εν υμιν ποιμνιον του θεου μη αναγκαστως αλλα εκουσιως μηδε αισχροκερδως αλλα προθυμως
3 μηδ ως κατακυριευοντες των κληρων αλλα τυποι γινομενοι του ποιμνιου
4 και φανερωθεντος του αρχιποιμενος κομιεισθε τον αμαραντινον της δοξης στεφανον
5 ομοιως νεωτεροι υποταγητε πρεσβυτεροις παντες δε αλληλοις την ταπεινοφροσυνην εγκομβωσασθε οτι [ο] θεος υπερηφανοις αντιτασσεται ταπεινοις δε διδωσιν χαριν
6 ταπεινωθητε ουν υπο την κραταιαν χειρα του θεου ινα υμας υψωση εν καιρω
7 πασαν την μεριμναν υμων επιριψαντες επ αυτον οτι αυτω μελει περι υμων
8 νηψατε γρηγορησατε ο αντιδικος υμων διαβολος ως λεων ωρυομενος περιπατει ζητων καταπιειν
9 ω αντιστητε στερεοι τη πιστει ειδοτες τα αυτα των παθηματων τη εν τω κοσμω υμων αδελφοτητι επιτελεισθαι
10 ο δε θεος πασης χαριτος ο καλεσας υμας εις την αιωνιον αυτου δοξαν εν χριστω ολιγον παθοντας αυτος καταρτισει στηριξει σθενωσει
11 αυτω το κρατος εις τους αιωνας αμην
12 δια σιλουανου υμιν του πιστου αδελφου ως λογιζομαι δι ολιγων εγραψα παρακαλων και επιμαρτυρων ταυτην ειναι αληθη χαριν του θεου εις ην στητε
13 ασπαζεται υμας η εν βαβυλωνι συνεκλεκτη και μαρκος ο υιος μου
14 ασπασασθε αλληλους εν φιληματι αγαπης ειρηνη υμιν πασιν τοις εν χριστω

5 Sa matatanda nga sa inyo'y umaaral ako, akong matandang kasamahan ninyo, at isang saksi ng mga hirap ni Cristo, na may bahagi naman sa kaluwalhatiang ihahayag:
2 Pangalagaan ninyo ang kawan ng Dios na nasa inyo, na magsigamit kayo ng pagpupuno, na hindi sapilitan, kundi may kasayahan, na ayon sa kalooban ng Dios; ni hindi dahil sa mahalay na kapakinabangan, kundi sa handang pagiisip;
3 Ni hindi din naman ang gaya ng kayo'y may pagkapanginoon sa pinangangasiwaang ipinagtagubilin sa inyo, kundi kayo'y maging mga uliran ng kawan.
4 At pagkahayag ng pangulong Pastor, ay magsisitanggap kayo ng di nasisirang putong ng kaluwalhatian.
5 Gayon din naman, kayong mga kabataan, ay magsisuko sa matatanda. Oo, kayong lahat ay mangagbigkis ng kapakumbabaan, na kayo-kayo'y maglingkuran: sapagka't ang Dios ay sumasalangsang sa mga palalo, datapuwa't nagbibigay ng biyaya sa mga mapagpakumbaba.
6 Kaya't kayo'y mangagpakababa sa ilalim ng makapangyarihang kamay ng Dios, upang kayo'y kaniyang itaas sa kapanahunan;
7 Na inyong ilagak sa kaniya ang lahat ng inyong kabalisahan, sapagka't kayo'y ipinagmamalasakit niya.
8 Kayo'y maging mapagpigil, kayo'y maging mapagpuyat; ang inyong kalaban na diablo, na gaya ng leong umuungal, ay gumagala na humahanap ng masisila niya:
9 Na siya'y labanan ninyong matatag sa inyong pananampalataya, yamang inyong nalalaman na ang mga gayong hirap ay nagaganap sa inyong mga kapatid na nangasa sanglibutan.
10 At ang Dios ng buong biyaya na sa inyo'y tumawag sa kaniyang walang hanggang kaluwalhatian kay Cristo, pagkatapos na kayo'y makapagbatang sangdaling panahon, ay siya rin ang magpapasakdal, magpapatibay, at magpapalakas sa inyo.
11 Sumasakaniya nawa ang paghahari magpakailan man. Siya nawa.
12 Sa pamamagitan ni Silvano, na tapat nating kapatid, ayon sa aking palagay sa kaniya, ay sinulatan ko kayo ng maiksi, na aking iniaaral at sinasaksihan na ito ang tunay na biyaya ng Dios: magsitibay kayo dito.
13 Binabati kayo ng nasa Babilonia, na kasamang hinirang; at ni Marcos na aking anak.
14 Mangagbatian kayo ng halik ng pagibig. Kapayapaan nawa ang sumainyong lahat na na kay Cristo.

King James Version
5 The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:
2 Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;
3 Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being examples to the flock.
4 And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.
5 Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.
6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.
11 To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
12 By Silvanus, a faithful brother unto you, as I suppose, I have written briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God wherein ye stand.
13 The church that is at Babylon, elected together with you, saluteth you; and so doth Marcus my son.
14 Greet ye one another with a kiss of charity. Peace be with you all that are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
