劝勉长老

我是基督受苦的见证人,将分享以后所显明的荣耀。我以长老的身份劝你们中间做长老的: 务要牧养上帝托付给你们的羊群,按着上帝的旨意甘心乐意地照顾他们,不是出于勉强,不是为了谋利,而是出于热诚。 不要辖制托付给你们的羊群,而是要做群羊的榜样。 等到大牧长显现的时候,你们必得到永不衰残的荣耀冠冕。

你们年轻的要顺服年长的,大家都要存谦卑的心彼此服侍。因为上帝阻挡骄傲的人,恩待谦卑的人。

Shepherd the Flock

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: (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; nor as (F)being [b]lords over (G)those entrusted to you, but (H)being examples to the flock; 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

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

(L)“God resists the proud,
But (M)gives grace to the humble.”
