Darby Bible Translation

  • Shepherd the Flock

    The 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:
  • 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:
  • Shepherd the flock of God which is among you, serving as overseers, not by compulsion but [a]willingly, not for dishonest gain but eagerly;
  • shepherd the flock of God which [is] among you, exercising oversight, not by necessity, but willingly; not for base gain, but readily;
  • nor as being [b]lords over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock;
  • not as lording it over your possessions, but being models for the flock.
  • and when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that does not fade away.
  • And when the chief shepherd is manifested ye shall receive the unfading crown of glory.
  • Submit to God, Resist the Devil

    Likewise 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.”
  • Cast Your Cares on Him

  • Be [c]sober, be [d]vigilant; [e]because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
  • Be vigilant, watch. Your adversary [the] devil as a roaring lion walks about seeking whom he may devour.
  • Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world.
  • Whom resist, stedfast in faith, knowing that the selfsame sufferings are accomplished in your brotherhood which [is] in [the] world.
  • But [f]may the God of all grace, who called [g]us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, [h]perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.
  • 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:
  • To Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.
  • to him [be] the glory and the might for the ages of the ages. Amen.
  • Farewell and Peace

    By 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.
