1 Peter Chapter 5

            5^:1(The) elders [the] among you I-exhort, (being) the/a fellow-elder and witness of-the sufferings of-Christ, the/a sharer also of-the future glory to-be-revealed.  ² Shepherd the flock of-[the] God among you, exercising-(the)-oversight; not under-compulsion, but willingly according-to God; not for-shameful-gain, but eagerly; ³ neither as lording-(it)-over the/your charges, but by-being (an) example of-the flock; ⁴ and the chief-Shepherd having-appeared, you-will-receive the unfading crown of-[the] glory.

            ⁵ Likewise, younger-men, be-subject to-(the)-elders; and you┘all└clothe-yourselves-with [the] ‘humility’ toward-one-another, because

                        “[The] God resists (the) proud,

                                    but gives grace to-the-(the)-humble.”

            ⁶ ‘Humble’-yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of-[the] God, in-order-that he-may-exalt you in-due-time, ⁷ having-casting all the care of-you on him, because it-is-(a)-concern to-him about you.

            ⁸ Be-serious-minded; be alert.  The adversary of-you, (the) devil, like a roaring lion, walks around, seeking whom to-devour, ⁹ whom resist resolute in-the faith, knowing the same-things of-[the] sufferings to-be-accomplished by-the brotherhood of-you in (the) world.  ¹⁰ But the God of-all grace—the-One having-called you into the eternal glory of-him in Christ, having-suffered^pl (a)-little-while—will┘himself└make-(you)-perfect/complete, will-confirm, will-strengthen, will-establish (you).  ¹¹ To-him (be) [the] dominion forevermore³.  Amen.

            ¹² By Silvanus the faithful brother, as-I-consider (him), I-wrote to-you through few (words), exhorting and testifying this to-be the true grace of-[the] God—in which stand-fast^imper.  ¹³ The fellow-elect (church)^ms in Babylon greets you, and (so does) Mark, the son of-me.  ¹⁴ Greet one-another with (a) loving kiss.  Peace to-you all the-ones in Christ.
