5  Now I make this appeal to your presbyters (for I am a presbyter myself, I was a witness of what Christ suffered and I am to share the glory that will be revealed), 2  be shepherds to your flock of God; take charge of them willingly instead of being pressed to it, not to make a base profit from it but freely, 3  not by way of lording it over your charges but proving a pattern to the flock. 4  Then you will receive the unfading crown of glory, when the chief Shepherd makes his appearance. 5  You younger men must also submit to the presbyters. Indeed you must all put on the apron of humility to serve one another, for

the haughty God opposes,

but to the humble he gives grace.

6  Humble yourselves under the strong hand of God, then, so that when it is time, he may raise you; 7  let all your anxieties fall upon him, for his interest is in you.

8  Keep cool, keep awake. Your enemy the devil prowls like a roaring lion, looking out for someone to devour. 9  Resist him; keep your foothold in the faith, and learn to pay the same tax of suffering as the rest of your brotherhood throughout the world. 10  Once you have suffered for a little, the God of all grace who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ Jesus, will repair and recruit and strengthen you. 11  The dominion is his for ever and ever: Amen.

12  By the hand of Silvanus, a faithful brother (in my opinion), I have written you these few lines of encouragement, to testify that this is what the true grace of God means. Stand in that grace.

13  Your sister-church in Babylon, elect like yourselves, salutes you. So does my son Mark. 14  Salute one another with a kiss of love.

Peace be to you all who are in Christ [Jesus].
