SBL Greek New Testament
1As a fellow elder, a witness of Christ’s sufferings, and a partaker of the glory to be revealed, I appeal to the elders among you:
1Πρεσβυτέρους ⸀οὖν ἐν ὑμῖν παρακαλῶ ὁ συμπρεσβύτερος καὶ μάρτυς τῶν τοῦ Χριστοῦ παθημάτων, ὁ καὶ τῆς μελλούσης ἀποκαλύπτεσθαι δόξης κοινωνός,
2Be shepherds of God’s flock that is among you, watching over them not out of compulsion, but because it is God’s will; not out of greed, but out of eagerness;
2ποιμάνατε τὸ ἐν ὑμῖν ποίμνιον τοῦ θεοῦ, ⸀ἐπισκοποῦντες μὴ ἀναγκαστῶς ἀλλὰ ἑκουσίως ⸂κατὰ θεόν⸃, μηδὲ αἰσχροκερδῶς ἀλλὰ προθύμως,
3not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock.
3μηδʼ ὡς κατακυριεύοντες τῶν κλήρων ἀλλὰ τύποι γινόμενοι τοῦ ποιμνίου·
4And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away.
4καὶ φανερωθέντος τοῦ ἀρχιποίμενος κομιεῖσθε τὸν ἀμαράντινον τῆς δόξης στέφανον.
5Young men, in the same way, submit yourselves to your elders. And all of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, “God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”
5ὁμοίως, νεώτεροι, ὑποτάγητε πρεσβυτέροις. πάντες δὲ ⸀ἀλλήλοις τὴν ταπεινοφροσύνην ἐγκομβώσασθε, ὅτι Ὁ θεὸς ὑπερηφάνοις ἀντιτάσσεται ταπεινοῖς δὲ δίδωσιν χάριν.
6Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, so that in due time He may exalt you.
6Ταπεινώθητε οὖν ὑπὸ τὴν κραταιὰν χεῖρα τοῦ θεοῦ, ἵνα ὑμᾶς ὑψώσῃ ἐν καιρῷ,
7Cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.
7πᾶσαν τὴν μέριμναν ὑμῶν ἐπιρίψαντες ἐπʼ αὐτόν, ὅτι αὐτῷ μέλει περὶ ὑμῶν.
8Be sober-minded and alert. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.
8νήψατε, γρηγορήσατε. ὁ ἀντίδικος ὑμῶν διάβολος ὡς λέων ὠρυόμενος περιπατεῖ ζητῶν ⸀τινα ⸀καταπιεῖν·
9Resist him, standing firm in your faith and in the knowledge that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kinds of suffering.
9ᾧ ἀντίστητε στερεοὶ τῇ πίστει, εἰδότες τὰ αὐτὰ τῶν παθημάτων τῇ ἐν ⸀τῷ κόσμῳ ὑμῶν ἀδελφότητι ἐπιτελεῖσθαι.
10And after you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself restore you, secure you, strengthen you, and establish you.
10ὁ δὲ θεὸς πάσης χάριτος, ὁ καλέσας ὑμᾶς εἰς τὴν αἰώνιον αὐτοῦ δόξαν ἐν ⸀Χριστῷ, ὀλίγον παθόντας αὐτὸς ⸀καταρτίσει, στηρίξει, σθενώσει, ⸀θεμελιώσει.
11To Him be the power forever and ever. Amen.
11⸀αὐτῷ τὸ κράτος εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας ⸂τῶν αἰώνων⸃· ἀμήν.
12Through Silvanus, whom I regard as a faithful brother, I have written to you briefly, encouraging you and testifying that this is the true grace of God. Stand firm in it.
12Διὰ Σιλουανοῦ ὑμῖν τοῦ πιστοῦ ἀδελφοῦ, ὡς λογίζομαι, διʼ ὀλίγων ἔγραψα, παρακαλῶν καὶ ἐπιμαρτυρῶν ταύτην εἶναι ἀληθῆ χάριν τοῦ θεοῦ· εἰς ἣν ⸀στῆτε.
13The church in Babylon, chosen together with you, sends you greetings, as does my son Mark.
13ἀσπάζεται ὑμᾶς ἡ ἐν Βαβυλῶνι συνεκλεκτὴ καὶ Μᾶρκος ὁ υἱός μου.
14Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace to all of you who are in Christ.
14ἀσπάσασθε ἀλλήλους ἐν φιλήματι ἀγάπης. εἰρήνη ὑμῖν πᾶσιν τοῖς ἐν ⸀Χριστῷ.
