This OET Readers’ Version was designed to be used with the Literal Version alongside, so you won’t get the best understanding from this single viewpoint. This is still an early look into the drafted text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.
5 Because of that, I’m encouraging your elders, as a fellow elder, and a witness of the messiah’s sufferings, and also a partner in the GLORY that’s going to be revealed: 2 Carefully shepherd God’s people that you care for,[ref] not out of compulsion, but willingly, listening to God, not greedily, but enthusiastically, 3 not exercising dominance over them, but being examples for them. 4 Then when the chief shepherd returns, you elders will receive the unfading crown of honour.
5 Similarly, you younger ones, take your elders’ advice, and all of you, show humility to each other, because ‘God opposes those who are proud, but displays grace to those who are humble.’[ref] 6 So humble yourselves under God’s mighty hand so that he might honour you at the right time.[ref] 7 Give all your concerns to him because he cares about you all.
8 Stay alert and keep watch. Your opponent, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, wanting to swallow up you chosen people, 9 but you should remain firmly in the faith and resist him, knowing that fellow believers all around the world experiencing similar suffering are doing the same. 10 Then God, the source of all grace, and the one who called you to his eternal GLORY in the messiah, will prepare you chosen people as you suffer a little, and will then strengthen you as you’re established. 11 May his authority be powerful throughout all time. May it be so.
5:12 Farewell
12 I’ve written this brief letter with the help of the faithful brother, Siluanos,[ref] to encourage you chosen people and to testify that God’s grace that you accepted is true.
13 The chosen group in Bavel (Babylon) and my ‘son’ Markos[ref] send their greetings to you chosen people. 14 Greet one another with a kiss of love.
May all of you who are united with the messiah experience God’s peace.
