1Therefore I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and who will also share in the glory that will be revealed:
2⳿ⲁⲙⲟⲛⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲟϩⲓ ⲉⲧϧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛϭⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲟⲩϣⲓⲛⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩϭⲓ⳿ⲛϫⲟⲛⲥ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲟⲩⲱϣ ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲫϯ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧⲁϥϫⲓⲣ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲣⲱⲟⲩⲧϥ ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ.
2shepherd the flock of God which is among you, exercising the oversight, not under compulsion, but voluntarily; not for dishonest gain, but willingly;
3ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳪ ⳿ⲉⲛⲓ⳿ⲕⲗⲏ ⲣⲟⲥ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲁⲣⲓⲧⲩⲡⲟⲥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲟϩⲓ.
3not as lording it over those entrusted to you, but making yourselves examples to the flock.
4ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲁϥϣⲁⲛⲟⲩⲟⲛϩϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲓϫⲱϫ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲛ⳿ⲉⲥⲱⲟⲩ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁϭⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓ⳿ⲭⲗⲟⲙ ⳿ⲛⲁⲑⲗⲱⲙ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⳿ⲡⲱⲟⲩ.
4When the chief Shepherd is revealed, you will receive the crown of glory that doesn’t fade away.
5ⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ⲛⲓϧⲉⲗϣ⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⲙⲁϭⲛⲉϫⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓϧⲉⲗⲗⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ϫⲉⲗ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲑⲉⲃⲓⲟ ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲉⲣⲏ ⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲫϯ ⳿ϥϯ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲉⲛ ⲛⲓ ϭⲁⲥⲓϩⲏⲧ ⳿ϥϯ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⳿ⲛⲛⲏⲉⲧⲑⲉⲃⲓⲏⲟⲩⲧ.
5Likewise, you younger ones, be subject to the elder. Yes, all of you clothe yourselves with humility and subject yourselves to one another; for “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”
6ⲙⲁⲑⲉⲃⲓ⳿ⲉ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ϧⲁ ϯϫⲓϫ ⲉⲧ⳿ⲁⲙⲁϩⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥϭⲉⲥ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡⲥⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓϫⲉⲙ⳿ⲡϣⲓⲛⲓ.
6Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time,
7ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛⲣⲱⲟⲩϣ ⲧⲏⲣϥ ⲟⲩⲁϩϥ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲏⲓ ⳿ⲥⲉⲣⲙⲉⲗⲓⲛ ⲛⲁϥ ϧⲁⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ.
7casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you.

8Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
9ⲫⲏ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟϩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲁⲧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉϫⲱϥ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲧⲁϫⲣⲏⲟⲩⲧ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲛⲁϩϯ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲛⲛⲁⲓϧⲓⲥⲓ ⲛⲁⲓ ⳿ⲡϫⲱⲕ ⳿ⲛⲛⲁⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⲉⲧϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ.
9Withstand him steadfast in your faith, knowing that your brothers who are in the world are undergoing the same sufferings.

10But may the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.
11ⲫⲱϥ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲓⲁⲙⲁϩⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲓⲱⲟⲩ ϣⲁ ⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲁⲙⲏⲛ.
11To him be the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen.

12Through 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.
13⳿ⲥϣⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ϯ⳿ϣⲫⲉⲣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲥⲟⲧⲡⲓ ⲉⲧϧⲉⲛ ⲃⲁⲃⲩⲗⲱⲛ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲙⲁⲣⲕⲟⲥ ⲡⲁϣⲏⲣⲓ.
13She who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, greets you. So does Mark, my son.

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