Tending the Flock of God
5 Now as an elder myself and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, as well as one who shares in the glory to be revealed, I exhort the elders among you 2 to tend the flock of God that is in your charge, exercising the oversight,[a] not under compulsion but willingly, as God would have you do it[b]—not for sordid gain but eagerly. 3 Do not lord it over those in your charge, but be examples to the flock. 4 And when the chief shepherd appears, you will win the crown of glory that never fades away. 5 In the same way, you who are younger must accept the authority of the elders.[c] And all of you must clothe yourselves with humility in your dealings with one another, for
‘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 in due time. 7 Cast all your anxiety on him, because he cares for you. 8 Discipline yourselves; keep alert.[d] Like a roaring lion your adversary the devil prowls around, looking for someone to devour. 9 Resist him, steadfast in your faith, for you know that your brothers and sisters[e] throughout the world are undergoing the same kinds of suffering. 10 And after you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, support, strengthen, and establish you. 11 To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen.
Final Greetings and Benediction
12 Through Silvanus, whom I consider a faithful brother, I have written this short letter to encourage you, and to testify that this is the true grace of God. Stand fast in it. 13 Your sister church[f] in Babylon, chosen together with you, sends you greetings; and so does my son Mark. 14 Greet one another with a kiss of love.
Peace to all of you who are in Christ.[g]

牧养 神的羊群
5 所以，我这同作长老，作基督受苦的证人和分享将来所要显现的荣耀的人，勉励在你们中间的长老们： 2 务要牧养在你们当中 神的群羊，按着 神的旨意照顾他们[a]，不是出于勉强，而是出于甘心；也不是因为贪财，而是出于乐意。 3 不要辖制所托付你们的群羊，而是要作他们的榜样。 4 到了大牧人显现的时候，你们必得到那永不衰残、荣耀的冠冕。
5 同样，你们年轻的，要顺服年长的。你们大家都要以谦卑当衣服穿上，彼此顺服，因为
“ 神抵挡骄傲的人，
但赐恩给谦卑的人。”
6 所以，你们要谦卑服在 神大能的手下，这样，到了适当的时候，他必使你们升高。 7 你们要将一切的忧虑卸给 神，因为他顾念你们。
8 务要谨慎，要警醒。因为你们的仇敌魔鬼，如同咆哮的狮子，走来走去，寻找可吞吃的人。 9 你们要用坚固的信心抵挡他，因为知道你们在世上的众弟兄也正在经历这样的苦难。 10 那赐一切恩典的 神曾在基督[b]里召了你们，得享他永远的荣耀，在你们暂受苦难之后，必要亲自成全你们，坚固你们，赐力量给你们，建立你们[c]。 11 愿权能归给他，直到永永远远。阿们！
问安
12 我简单地写了这信，托我所看为忠心的弟兄西拉交给你们，劝勉你们，又证明这恩是 神真实的恩典；你们务要在这恩上站立得住。 13 在巴比伦与你们同蒙拣选的教会向你们问安。我儿子马可也向你们问安。 14 你们要用爱心彼此亲吻问安。愿平安[d]归给你们所有在基督里的人！

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.
