\subsection{I Peter 5}
|
|
\VS{1} I therefore call upon the elders among you, [I who am also] elder and witness of the
|
|
sufferings of Christ, and partner of the glory [about] to be being revealed:
|
|
\VS{2} shepherd the flock of God among you, not by compulsion, but willingly
|
|
according to God, not in fondness of dishonest gain, but eagerly,
|
|
\VS{3} Neither as Lording over the inheritance, but becoming models to the flock.
|
|
\VS{4} And the chief shepherd having appeared, you will receive the unfading
|
|
crown of glory.
|
|
\VS{5} Likewise, young men, submit to the elders, and [Let] all
|
|
[submit] to one another, be clothed with humble-mindedness, for God opposes the high
|
|
minded, but to the humble he gives grace.
|
|
\VS{6} Be humbled, therefore, by
|
|
the strong hand of God, in order that he exalt you in [the] opportune-time\fnKairos{},
|
|
\VS{7} casting all your anxieties upon him, because he cares for you.
|
|
\VS{8} Be sober, be watchful. Your adversary the devil as [a] roaring lion walks
|
|
[about] seeking someone to be devouring,
|
|
\VS{9} whom resist firm in faith, knowing
|
|
that the same [things] of sufferings are being accomplished upon your brotherhood in
|
|
the world.
|
|
|
|
\VS{10} Now the God of all grace, the [one] having called you into his eternal
|
|
glory in Christ, [you] having suffered [a] little, will himself restore, establish,
|
|
strengthen, [and] give [you] foundation.
|
|
\VS{11} To him [is] the strength to the
|
|
eternities of eternities, Amen.
|
|
\VS{12} Through Silvanius, [a] trustworthy
|
|
brother to you, as I consider, have [I] written briefly, calling upon [you] and
|
|
testifying this to be true grace of God, in which you stand.
|
|
\VS{13} The
|
|
fellow-chosen in Babylon greet you as does Mark your son.
|
|
\VS{14} Greet one
|
|
another with [a] kiss\footnote{from [PHILIA]} of agape-love. Peace [be]\footnote{or ``[is]''} upon you all that [are] in Christ.
