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.

장로들에게 부치는 말
5 나는 장로들에게 같은 장로로서, 그리고 그리스도의 고난의 증인으로, 장차 영광을 함께 누릴 사람으로서 부탁합니다.
2 여러분은 하나님이 맡겨 주신 양떼를 잘 돌보십시오. 억지로 하지 말고 하나님의 뜻에 따라 기쁜 마음으로 하십시오. 단순히 봉급을 받을 생각으로 해서는 안 되며 진심으로 양떼를 보살펴야 합니다.
3 맡겨진 양떼를 지배하려 들지 말고 그들의 모범이 되십시오.
4 그러면 목자장이신 그리스도께서 다시 오실 때 시들지 않는 영광의 면류관을 받게 될 것입니다.
5 청년들은 장로들에게 순종하며 겸손한 마음으로 서로 섬기십시오. 하나님은 교만한 사람을 대적하시고 겸손한 사람에게 은혜를 베푸십니다.
6 그러므로 여러분은 [a]능력이 많으신 하나님 앞에서 자신을 낮추십시오. 때가 되면 하나님이 여러분을 높여 주실 것입니다.
7 여러분의 염려를 다 하나님께 맡기십시오. 하나님이 여러분을 보살피고 계십니다.
8 바짝 정신을 차리고 철저하게 경계하십시오. 여러분의 원수인 마귀가 울부짖는 사자처럼 삼킬 자를 찾아 돌아다니고 있습니다.
9 그러므로 믿음에 굳게 서서 마귀를 대항하십시오. 세상에 흩어져 있는 모든 성도들도 이 같은 고난을 겪고 있습니다.
10 얼마 동안 여러분이 고난을 겪고 나면 그리스도 안에서 여러분을 불러 영원한 영광을 함께 누리게 하신 모든 은혜의 하나님이 여러분을 친히 완전하게 하시고 굳세게 하시고 강하게 하시며 튼튼하게 세워 주실 것입니다.
11 능력이 하나님께 길이길이 함께하기를 기도합니다. 아멘.
12 내가 신실한 형제로 여기는 [b]실루아노를 통해 나는 여러분에게 간단히 편지를 써서 여러분을 격려하고 [c]주님을 위해 고난받는 이것이 하나님의 참된 은혜임을 증거하였습니다. 그러므로 여러분은 이 은혜에 굳게 서십시오.
13 여러분과 함께 선택된 바빌론에 있는 여러분의 자매 교회가 여러분에게 문안하고 내 아들 마가가 여러분에게 문안합니다.
14 여러분은 성도의 사랑으로 서로 문안하십시오. 그리스도 안에 있는 여러분 모두에게 평안이 함께하기를 기도합니다.

Peter writes to leaders and young men
5 Now I want to say something to you who are leaders of the groups of believers. Like you, I am also a leader. I myself saw how people caused Christ to have great pain so that he died. One day people will see how great he really is. Then I will be among those people who join with him in heaven. So I say this to you who are leaders: 2 Watch over the group of believers that God has given to you. Be like a shepherd that takes care of his sheep. Lead them well because you want to do it. Do not do it just because you have to do it. Do it in the way that God wants for you. Do not be a leader because you want to receive money for yourself. Instead, do it because you want to help people.
3 God has given you a group of believers to take care of them. Do not try to rule over them with power. Instead, show them how to live in a good way, so that they can copy you. 4 Then our master, Christ, will give you a beautiful crown when he appears. That is a great gift that will never become old or less beautiful. He is the great Shepherd who takes care of us.[a]
5 I want to say the same thing to you who are young men. You must respect the authority of the leaders. All of you who are believers must respect one another. Do not think that you are more important than other people. The Bible says:
‘God is against proud people.
But he is kind to humble people.’[b]
6 Remember that God is strong and powerful. So be humble in front of him. Then he will lift you up to a good place at the right time. 7 If you have any kind of trouble in your mind, give it to God. God has promised to take care of you.[c]
8 Think seriously about how you live. Watch carefully for danger. Remember that the Devil is your enemy. He wants to hurt you. He walks about like a hungry lion. He is looking for someone to kill and then eat them! 9 But you must be strong to fight against him. Trust God completely. Remember this: Believers all over the world are having the same kind of trouble. 10 Yes, you will have trouble like this for a short time. But after that, God will make everything right. He is completely kind and he will always help you. Because you belong to Christ, God has chosen you to live with him in heaven for ever. You will join him in that beautiful place. Then God will make you well again. He will make you strong in your spirits. You will be able to stand strongly. 11 Yes, God rules with power for ever! Amen! This is true!
Peter finishes his letter
12 Silas has helped me to write this short letter to you. I know that he continues to trust Christ well.[d] I have written to you because I want you to be strong. I have told you how God is kind to us and he helps us. This is God's true message to you. So continue to believe it and be strong.
13 The believers here in Babylon say ‘hello’ to you.[e] God has chosen them as his people, together with you. Mark, who is like my son, also says ‘hello’ to you. 14 When you meet, kiss each other as Christian brothers and sisters.
I pray for all of you who belong to Christ. I pray that God will give you peace in your minds.

- 5:13 ‘Babylon’ here probably means Rome, the capital city of Italy. At that time, the king of Rome (Caesar) ruled many countries. His soldiers were causing a lot of trouble for Christians. Many years earlier, people from Babylon had caused a lot of trouble for Israel's people. So the Christians used Babylon as a secret name for Rome.

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.
