New Living Translation

  • Instructions to Elders

    The elders which [are] among you I exhort, who [am their] fellow-elder and witness of the sufferings of the Christ, who also [am] partaker of the glory about to be revealed:
  • Advice for Elders and Young Men

    And now, a word to you who are elders in the churches. I, too, am an elder and a witness to the sufferings of Christ. And I, too, will share in his glory when he is revealed to the whole world. As a fellow elder, I appeal to you:
  • shepherd the flock of God which [is] among you, exercising oversight, not by necessity, but willingly; not for base gain, but readily;
  • Care for the flock that God has entrusted to you. Watch over it willingly, not grudgingly — not for what you will get out of it, but because you are eager to serve God.
  • not as lording it over your possessions, but being models for the flock.
  • Don’t lord it over the people assigned to your care, but lead them by your own good example.
  • And when the chief shepherd is manifested ye shall receive the unfading crown of glory.
  • And when the Great Shepherd appears, you will receive a crown of never-ending glory and honor.
  • Cast Your Cares on Him

    Likewise [ye] younger, be subject to [the] elder, and all of you bind on humility towards one another; for God sets himself against [the] proud, but to [the] humble gives grace.
  • In the same way, you who are younger must accept the authority of the elders. And all of you, dress yourselves in humility as you relate to one another, for
    “God opposes the proud
    but gives grace to the humble.”a
  • Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in [the due] time;
  • So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time he will lift you up in honor.
  • having cast all your care upon him, for he cares about you.
  • Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.
  • Be vigilant, watch. Your adversary [the] devil as a roaring lion walks about seeking whom he may devour.
  • Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.
  • Whom resist, stedfast in faith, knowing that the selfsame sufferings are accomplished in your brotherhood which [is] in [the] world.
  • Stand firm against him, and be strong in your faith. Remember that your family of believersb all over the world is going through the same kind of suffering you are.
  • Benediction and Final Greetings

    But the God of all grace who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ Jesus, when ye have suffered for a little while, himself shall make perfect, stablish, strengthen, ground:
  • In his kindness God called you to share in his eternal glory by means of Christ Jesus. So after you have suffered a little while, he will restore, support, and strengthen you, and he will place you on a firm foundation.
  • to him [be] the glory and the might for the ages of the ages. Amen.
  • All power to him forever! Amen.
  • By Silvanus, the faithful brother, as I suppose, I have written to you briefly; exhorting and testifying that this is [the] true grace of God in which ye stand.

  • Peter’s Final Greetings

    I have written and sent this short letter to you with the help of Silas,c whom I commend to you as a faithful brother. My purpose in writing is to encourage you and assure you that what you are experiencing is truly part of God’s grace for you. Stand firm in this grace.
  • She that is elected with [you] in Babylon salutes you, and Marcus my son.
  • Your sister church here in Babylond sends you greetings, and so does my son Mark.
  • Salute one another with a kiss of love. Peace be with you all who [are] in Christ.
  • Greet each other with a kiss of love.
    Peace be with all of you who are in Christ.
