1 The elders 4245 which are among 1722 you 5213 I exhort 3870, who 3588 am also an elder 4850, and 2532 a witness 3144 of the sufferings 3804 of Christ 5547, and also 2532 a partaker 2844 of the glory 1391 that shall 3195 be revealed 601:
2 Feed 4165 the flock 4168 of God 2316 which is among 1722 you 5213, taking the oversight 1983 thereof, not 3361 by constraint 317, but 235 willingly 1596; not 3366 for filthy lucre 147, but 235 of a ready mind 4290;
3 Neither 3366 as 5613 being lords over 2634 God's heritage 2819, but 235 being 1096 ensamples 5179 to the flock 4168.
4 And 2532 when the chief Shepherd 750 shall appear 5319, ye shall receive 2865 a crown 4735 of glory 1391 that fadeth not away 262.
5 Likewise 3668, ye younger 3501, submit yourselves 5293 unto the elder 4245. Yea 1161, all 3956 of you be subject 5293 one to another 240, and be clothed 1463 with humility 5012: for 3754 God 2316 resisteth 498 the proud 5244, and 1161 giveth 1325 grace 5485 to the humble 5011.
6 Humble yourselves 5013 therefore 3767 under 5259 the mighty 2900 hand 5495 of God 2316, that 2443 he may exalt 5312 you 5209 in 1722 due time 2540:
7 Casting 1977 all 3956 your 5216 care 3308 upon 1909 him 846; for 3754 he careth 3199 for 4012 you 5216.
8 Be sober 3525, be vigilant 1127; because 3754 your 5216 adversary 476 the devil 1228, as 5613 a roaring 5612 lion 3023, walketh about 4043, seeking 2212 whom 5101 he may devour 2666:
9 Whom 3739 resist 436 stedfast 4731 in the faith 4102, knowing 1492 that the same 846 afflictions 3804 are accomplished 2005 in your 5216 brethren 81 that are in 1722 the world 2889.
10 But 1161 the God 2316 of all 3956 grace 5485, who 3588 hath called 2564 us 2248 unto 1519 his 848 eternal 166 glory 1391 by 1722 Christ 5547 Jesus 2424, after that ye have suffered 3958 a while 3641, make 2675 0 you 5209 perfect 2675, stablish 4741, strengthen 4599, settle 2311 you.
11 To him 846 be glory 1391 and 2532 dominion 2904 for 1519 ever 165 and ever 165. Amen 281.
12 By 1223 Silvanus 4610, a faithful 4103 brother 80 unto you 5213, as 5613 I suppose 3049, I have written 1125 briefly 1223 3641, exhorting 3870, and 2532 testifying 1957 that this 5026 is 1511 the true 227 grace 5485 of God 2316 wherein 1519 3739 ye stand 2476.
13 The church that is at 1722 Babylon 897, elected together with 4899 you, saluteth 782 you 5209; and 2532 so doth Marcus 3138 my 3450 son 5207.
14 Greet ye 782 one another 240 with 1722 a kiss 5370 of charity 26. Peace 1515 be with you 5213 all 3956 that are in 1722 Christ 5547 Jesus 2424. Amen 281.
