GNT

1 πρεσβυτέρους οὗν ἐν ὑμῖν παρακαλῶ ὁ συμπρεσβύτερος καὶ μάρτυς τῶν τοῦ χριστοῦ παθημάτων, ὁ καὶ τῆς μελλούσης ἀποκαλύπτεσθαι δόξης κοινωνός·

2 ποιμάνατε τὸ ἐν ὑμῖν ποίμνιον τοῦ θεοῦ [, ἐπισκοποῦντες] μὴ ἀναγκαστῶς ἀλλὰ ἑκουσίως κατὰ θεόν, μηδὲ αἰσχροκερδῶς ἀλλὰ προθύμως,

3 μηδ᾽ ὡς κατακυριεύοντες τῶν κλήρων ἀλλὰ τύποι γινόμενοι τοῦ ποιμνίου·

4 καὶ φανερωθέντος τοῦ ἀρχιποίμενος κομιεῖσθε τὸν ἀμαράντινον τῆς δόξης στέφανον.

5 ὁμοίως, νεώτεροι, ὑποτάγητε πρεσβυτέροις. πάντες δὲ ἀλλήλοις τὴν ταπεινοφροσύνην ἐγκομβώσασθε, ὅτι [ὁ] θεὸς ὑπερηφάνοις ἀντιτάσσεται, ταπεινοῖς δὲ δίδωσιν χάριν.

6 ταπεινώθητε οὗν ὑπὸ τὴν κραταιὰν χεῖρα τοῦ θεοῦ, ἵνα ὑμᾶς ὑψώσῃ ἐν καιρῶ,

7 πᾶσαν τὴν μέριμναν ὑμῶν ἐπιρίψαντες ἐπ᾽ αὐτόν, ὅτι αὐτῶ μέλει περὶ ὑμῶν.

8 νήψατε, γρηγορήσατε. ὁ ἀντίδικος ὑμῶν διάβολος ὡς λέων ὠρυόμενος περιπατεῖ ζητῶν [τινα] καταπιεῖν·

9 ᾧ ἀντίστητε στερεοὶ τῇ πίστει, εἰδότες τὰ αὐτὰ τῶν παθημάτων τῇ ἐν [τῶ] κόσμῳ ὑμῶν ἀδελφότητι ἐπιτελεῖσθαι.

10 ὁ δὲ θεὸς πάσης χάριτος, ὁ καλέσας ὑμᾶς εἰς τὴν αἰώνιον αὐτοῦ δόξαν ἐν χριστῶ [ἰησοῦ], ὀλίγον παθόντας αὐτὸς καταρτίσει, στηρίξει, σθενώσει, θεμελιώσει.

11 αὐτῶ τὸ κράτος εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας· ἀμήν.

12 διὰ σιλουανοῦ ὑμῖν τοῦ πιστοῦ ἀδελφοῦ, ὡς λογίζομαι, δι᾽ ὀλίγων ἔγραψα, παρακαλῶν καὶ ἐπιμαρτυρῶν ταύτην εἶναι ἀληθῆ χάριν τοῦ θεοῦ· εἰς ἣν στῆτε.

13 ἀσπάζεται ὑμᾶς ἡ ἐν βαβυλῶνι συνεκλεκτὴ καὶ μᾶρκος ὁ υἱός μου.

14 ἀσπάσασθε ἀλλήλους ἐν φιλήματι ἀγάπης. εἰρήνη ὑμῖν πᾶσιν τοῖς ἐν χριστῶ.

1  The elders⁴²⁴⁵ which³⁵⁸⁸ are among¹⁷²² you⁵²¹³ I exhort,³⁸⁷⁰ who am also an elder,⁴⁸⁵⁰ and²⁵³² a witness³¹⁴⁴ of the³⁵⁸⁸ sufferings³⁸⁰⁴ of Christ,⁵⁵⁴⁷ and²⁵³² also a partaker²⁸⁴⁴ of the glory¹³⁹¹ that shall³¹⁹⁵ be revealed:⁶⁰¹

2  Feed⁴¹⁶⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ flock⁴¹⁶⁸ of God²³¹⁶ which is among¹⁷²² you,⁵²¹³ taking the oversight¹⁹⁸³ thereof, not³³⁶¹ by constraint,³¹⁷ but²³⁵ willingly;¹⁵⁹⁶ not³³⁶⁶ for filthy lucre,¹⁴⁷ but²³⁵ of a ready mind;⁴²⁹⁰

3  Neither³³⁶⁶ as⁵⁶¹³ being lords over²⁶³⁴ God's heritage,²⁸¹⁹ but²³⁵ being¹⁰⁹⁶ examples⁵¹⁷⁹ to the³⁵⁸⁸ flock.⁴¹⁶⁸

4  And²⁵³² when the³⁵⁸⁸ chief Shepherd⁷⁵⁰ shall appear,⁵³¹⁹ ye shall receive²⁸⁶⁵ a crown⁴⁷³⁵ of glory¹³⁹¹ that fadeth not away.²⁶²

5  Likewise,³⁶⁶⁸ ye younger,³⁵⁰¹ submit yourselves⁵²⁹³ unto the elder.⁴²⁴⁵ Yea,¹¹⁶¹ all³⁹⁵⁶ of you be subject⁵²⁹³ one to another,²⁴⁰ and²⁵³² be clothed with¹⁴⁶³ humility:⁵⁰¹² for³⁷⁵⁴ God²³¹⁶ resisteth⁴⁹⁸ the proud,⁵²⁴⁴ and¹¹⁶¹ giveth¹³²⁵ grace⁵⁴⁸⁵ to the humble.⁵⁰¹¹

6  Humble yourselves⁵⁰¹³ therefore³⁷⁶⁷ under⁵²⁵⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ mighty²⁹⁰⁰ hand⁵⁴⁹⁵ of God,²³¹⁶ that²⁴⁴³ he may exalt⁵³¹² you⁵²⁰⁹ in¹⁷²² due time:²⁵⁴⁰

7  Casting¹⁹⁷⁷ all³⁹⁵⁶ your⁵²¹⁶ care³³⁰⁸ upon¹⁹⁰⁹ him;⁸⁴⁶ for³⁷⁵⁴ he⁸⁴⁶ careth³¹⁹⁹ for⁴⁰¹² you.⁵²¹⁶

8  Be sober,³⁵²⁵ be vigilant;¹¹²⁷ because³⁷⁵⁴ your⁵²¹⁶ adversary⁴⁷⁶ the devil,¹²²⁸ as⁵⁶¹³ a roaring⁵⁶¹² lion,³⁰²³ walketh about,⁴⁰⁴³ seeking²²¹² whom⁵¹⁰¹ he may devour:²⁶⁶⁶

9  Whom³⁷³⁹ resist⁴³⁶ steadfast⁴⁷³¹ in the³⁵⁸⁸ faith,⁴¹⁰² knowing¹⁴⁹² that the³⁵⁸⁸ same⁸⁴⁶ afflictions³⁸⁰⁴ are accomplished²⁰⁰⁵ in your⁵²¹⁶ brethren⁸¹ that are in¹⁷²² the world.²⁸⁸⁹

10  But¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ God²³¹⁶ of all³⁹⁵⁶ grace,⁵⁴⁸⁵ who hath called²⁵⁶⁴ us²²⁴⁸ unto¹⁵¹⁹ his⁸⁴⁸ eternal¹⁶⁶ glory¹³⁹¹ by¹⁷²² Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ Jesus,²⁴²⁴ after that ye have suffered³⁹⁵⁸ a while,³⁶⁴¹ make you perfect,^{2675 5209} establish,⁴⁷⁴¹ strengthen,⁴⁵⁹⁹ settle²³¹¹ you.

11  To him⁸⁴⁶ be glory¹³⁹¹ and²⁵³² dominion²⁹⁰⁴ forever and ever.^{1519 165 165} Amen.²⁸¹

12  By¹²²³ Silvanus,⁴⁶¹⁰ a faithful⁴¹⁰³ brother⁸⁰ unto you,⁵²¹³ as⁵⁶¹³ I suppose,³⁰⁴⁹ I have written¹¹²⁵ briefly,^{1223 3641} exhorting,³⁸⁷⁰ and²⁵³² testifying¹⁹⁵⁷ that this⁵⁰²⁶ is¹⁵¹¹ the true²²⁷ grace⁵⁴⁸⁵ of God²³¹⁶ wherein^{1519 3739} ye stand.²⁴⁷⁶

13  The³⁵⁸⁸ church that is at¹⁷²² Babylon,⁸⁹⁷ elected together with⁴⁸⁹⁹ you, saluteth⁷⁸² you;⁵²⁰⁹ and²⁵³² so doth Mark³¹³⁸ my³⁴⁵⁰ son.⁵²⁰⁷

14  Greet⁷⁸² ye one another²⁴⁰ with¹⁷²² a kiss⁵³⁷⁰ of charity.²⁶ Peace¹⁵¹⁵ be with you⁵²¹³ all³⁹⁵⁶ that³⁵⁸⁸ are in¹⁷²² Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ Jesus.²⁴²⁴ Amen.²⁸¹

Vul

1 Seniores ergo, qui in vobis sunt, obsecro, consenior et testis Christi passionum: qui et ejus, quæ in futuro revelanda est, gloriæ communicator:

2 pascite qui in vobis est gregem Dei, providentes non coacte, sed spontanee secundum Deum: neque turpis lucri gratia, sed voluntarie:

3 neque ut dominantes in cleris, sed forma facti gregis ex animo.

4 Et cum apparuerit princeps pastorum, percipietis immarcescibilem gloriæ coronam.

5 Similiter adolescentes subditi estote senioribus.
Omnes autem invicem humilitatem insinuate, quia Deus superbis resistit, humilibus autem dat gratiam.

6 Humiliamini igitur sub potenti manu Dei, ut vos exaltet in tempore visitationis:

7 omnem sollicitudinem vestram projicientes in eum, quoniam ipsi cura est de vobis.

8 Sobrii estote, et vigilate: quia adversarius vester diabolus tamquam leo rugiens circuit, quærens quem devoret:

9 cui resistite fortes in fide: scientes eamdem passionem ei quæ in mundo est vestræ fraternitati fieri.

10 Deus autem omnis gratiæ, qui vocavit nos in æternam suam gloriam in Christo Jesu, modicum passos ipse perficiet, confirmabit, solidabitque.

11 Ipsi gloria, et imperium in sæcula sæculorum. Amen.

12 Per Silvanum fidelem fratrem vobis, ut arbitror, breviter scripsi: obsecrans et contestans, hanc esse veram gratiam Dei, in qua statis.

13 Salutat vos ecclesia quæ est in Babylone coëlecta, et Marcus filius meus.

14 Salutate invicem in osculo sancto. Gratia vobis omnibus qui estis in Christo Jesu. Amen.
