New Testament

1 Peter 5

1The elders who are among you I exhort, I who am a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that will be revealed:

πρεσβυτερους τους εν υμιν παρακαλω ο συμπρεσβυτερος και μαρτυς των του χριστου παθηματων, ο και της μελλουσης αποκαλυπτεσθαι δοξης κοινωνος,

2Shepherd the flock of God which is among you, serving as overseers, not by compulsion but willingly, not for dishonest gain but eagerly;

ποιμανατε το εν υμιν ποιμνιον του θεου, επισκοπουντες μη αναγκαστως, αλλ εκουσιως, μηδε αισχροκερδως, αλλα προθυμως,

3nor as being lords over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock;

μηδ ως κατακυριευοντες των κληρων, αλλα τυποι γινομενοι του ποιμνιου·

4and when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that does not fade away.

και φανερωθεντος του αρχιποιμενος κομιεισθε τον αμαραντινον της δοξης στεφανον.

5Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for 'God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble.'

ομοιως νεωτεροι υποταγητε πρεσβυτεροις, παντες δε αλληλοις υποτασσομενοι την ταπεινοφροσυνην εγκομβωσασθε· οτι ο θεος υπερηφανοις αντιτασσεται, ταπεινοις δε διδωσιν χαριν.

6Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time,

ταπεινωθητε ουν υπο την κραταιαν χειρα του θεου, ινα υμας υψωση εν καιρω.

7casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.

πασαν την μεριμναν υμων επιρριψαντες επ αυτον, οτι αυτω μελει περι υμων,

8Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.

νηψατε, γρηγορησατε· ο αντιδικος υμων διαβολος ως λεων ωρυομενος περιπατει ζητων τινα καταπιη.

9Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world.

ω αντιστητε στερεοι τη πιστει, ειδοτες τα αυτα των παθηματων τη εν κοσμω υμων αδελφοτητι επιτελεισθαι.

10But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.

ο δε θεος πασης χαριτος, ο καλεσας υμας εις την αιωνιον αυτου δοξαν εν χριστω ιησου ολιγον παθοντας, αυτος καταρτισει υμας, στηριξει, σθενωσει, θεμελιωσει·

11To Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

αυτω η δοξα και το κρατος εις τους αιωνας των αιωνων· αμην.

12By Silvanus, our faithful brother as I consider him, I have written to you briefly, exhorting and testifying that this is the true grace of God in which you stand.

δια σιλουανου υμιν του πιστου αδελφου, ως λογιζομαι, δι ολιγων εγραψα, παρακαλων και επιμαρτυρων ταυτην ειναι αληθη χαριν του θεου, εις ην εστηκατε.

13She who is in Babylon, elect together with you, greets you; and so does Mark my son.

ασπαζεται υμας η εν βαβυλωνι συνεκλεκτη και μαρκος ο υιος μου.

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

ασπασασθε αλληλους εν φιληματι αγαπης. ειρηνη υμιν πασιν τοις εν χριστω ιησου· αμην.
