Instructions to Elders

(1 Timothy 3:1–7, Titus 1:5–9)

5[As] a fellow elder, a witness of Christ’s sufferings, and a partaker of the glory to be revealed, I appeal to [the] elders among you: 2Be shepherds of God’s flock [that is] among you, watching over them[fn] not out of compulsion, but willingly, as God would have you;[fn] not out of greed, but out of eagerness; 3not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock. 4And [when] the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away.

Cast Your Cares on Him

5Young men, in the same way, submit yourselves to [your] elders. And all [of you], clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, God opposes [the] proud, but gives grace to [the] humble.”[fn]

6Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, so that in [due] time He may exalt you. 7Cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.

8Be sober-minded [and] alert. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking [someone] to devour. 9Resist [him], [standing] firm in [your] faith [and] in the knowledge that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kinds of suffering.

Benediction and Farewell

10And [after you] have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to His eternal glory in Christ,[fn] will Himself restore [you], secure [you], strengthen [you], [and] establish [you]. 11To Him [be] the power forever [and] ever. Amen.

12Through Silvanus,[fn] [whom] I regard as a faithful brother, I have written to you briefly, encouraging [you] and testifying [that] this is [the] true grace of God. Stand firm in [it].

13[The church] in Babylon,[fn] chosen together with [you], sends you greetings [as does] my son Mark.

14Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace to all of you who [are] in Christ.[fn]
