MODERN LITERAL VERSION 2019 VERSION

5:1 I am encouraging the elders the ones among you*, (the fellow elder and witness of the sufferings of the Christ, also the partner of the glory which is about to be revealed).

5:2 Shepherd* the flock of God among you*, exercising the oversight, not by compulsion, but willfully, nor covetously, but eagerly;

5:3 nor like one lording it over his inheritances {Or: lots} , but by becoming examples to the flock.

5:4 And after the Chief-Shepherd has appeared, you* will be getting the unfading crown of glory.



5:5 Likewise, the younger ones, be* subject to the elders. But all of you* be subject to one another, clothe* yourselves with humility, because 'God resists the haughty, but is giving grace to the humble.' {Prov. 3:34}

5:6 Therefore humble* yourselves under the powerful hand of God, in order that he may exalt you* in time;

5:7 having tossed forth all your* anxiety upon him, because there is care concerning you* with him.

5:8 Be* sober! Watch*! Your* opponent, the devil, like a roaring lion, is walking around seeking whom he may swallow,

5:9 to whom, stand* against, solid in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are to be completed in the world by your* brotherhood.

5:10 But the God of all grace, who called you* to his everlasting glory in Christ Jesus, after you* have suffered a small time, he himself may frame you* up, will establish, will strengthen and will found you *. {I.e. make a foundation of you.}



5:11 The glory and the dominion is to him, forevermore. Amen.



5:12 Through Silvanus, our faithful brother, as I count him, I wrote to you* a few words, encouraging and testifying this to be the true grace of God in which you* are standing.

5:13 She who is in Babylon, chosen together with you*, and my son Mark greets you*.

5:14 Greet* one another with a kiss of love*.
Peace to all of you* who are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
