Clementine Vulgate, 1598
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:
1Seniores ergo, qui in vobis sunt, obsecro, consenior et testis Christi passionum: qui et ejus, quæ in futuro revelanda est, gloriæ communicator:
2shepherd the flock of God which is among you, exercising the oversight, not under compulsion, but voluntarily; not for dishonest gain, but willingly;
2pascite qui in vobis est gregem Dei, providentes non coacte, sed spontanee secundum Deum: neque turpis lucri gratia, sed voluntarie:
3not as lording it over those entrusted to you, but making yourselves examples to the flock.
3neque ut dominantes in cleris, sed forma facti gregis ex animo.
4When the chief Shepherd is revealed, you will receive the crown of glory that doesn’t fade away.
4Et cum apparuerit princeps pastorum, percipietis immarcescibilem gloriæ coronam.
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.”
5Similiter adolescentes subditi estote senioribus. Omnes autem invicem humilitatem insinuate, quia Deus superbis resistit, humilibus autem dat gratiam.
6Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time,
6Humiliamini igitur sub potenti manu Dei, ut vos exaltet in tempore visitationis:
7casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you.
7omnem sollicitudinem vestram projicientes in eum, quoniam ipsi cura est de vobis.
8Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
8Sobrii estote, et vigilate: quia adversarius vester diabolus tamquam leo rugiens circuit, quærens quem devoret:
9Withstand him steadfast in your faith, knowing that your brothers who are in the world are undergoing the same sufferings.
9cui resistite fortes in fide: scientes eamdem passionem ei quæ in mundo est vestræ fraternitati fieri.
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.
10Deus autem omnis gratiæ, qui vocavit nos in æternam suam gloriam in Christo Jesu, modicum passos ipse perficiet, confirmabit, solidabitque.
11To him be the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen.
11Ipsi gloria, et imperium in sæcula sæculorum. 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.
12Per Silvanum fidelem fratrem vobis, ut arbitror, breviter scripsi: obsecrans et contestans, hanc esse veram gratiam Dei, in qua statis.
13She who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, greets you. So does Mark, my son.
13Salutat vos ecclesia quæ est in Babylone coëlecta, et Marcus filius meus.
14Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace be to all of you who are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
14Salutate invicem in osculo sancto. Gratia vobis omnibus qui estis in Christo Jesu. Amen.
