Kapitel 5

1 Er ermahnt die Ältesten, ihre Herden zu füttern, 5 die Jüngeren, zu gehorchen 8 und alle, nüchtern, wachsam und beständig im Glauben zu sein: 9 Um dem grausamen Gegner zu widerstehen, dem Teufel.

CHAP. V.

1 He exhorteth the Elders to feede their flocks, 5 the yonger to obey, 8 and all to bee sober, watchfull, and constant in the faith: 9 to resist the cruell aduersarie the deuill.

¹

¹ The Elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an Elder, and a witnesse of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be reuealed.

²

² Feede the flocke of God ||which is among you, taking the ouersight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly: not for filthy lucre, but of a ready minde: [ ||Or, as much as in you is. ]

³

³ Neither as ||being lords ouer Gods heritage: but being ensamples to the flocke. [|| Or, ouerruling.]

⁴

⁴ And when the chiefe shepheard shall appeare, ye shall receiue a crowne of glory that fadeth not away.

⁵

⁵ Likewise ye yonger, submit your selues vnto the elder: yea, all of you bee subiect one to another, and bee clothed with humilitie: for God resisteth the proud, and giueth grace to the humble.

⁶

⁶ Humble yourselues therefore vnder the mighty hand of God, that hee may exalt you in due time,

⁷

⁷ Casting all your care vpon him, for he careth for you.

⁸

⁸ Be sober, be vigilant: because your aduersary the deuill, as a roaring Lion walketh about, seeking whom he may deuoure.

⁹

⁹ Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.

¹⁰

¹⁰ But the God of all grace who hath called vs into his eternall glory by Christ Iesus, after that ye haue suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.

¹¹

¹¹ To him bee glory and dominion for euer and euer. Amen.

¹²

¹² By Syluanus a faithfull brother vnto you, (as I suppose) I haue written briefly, exhorting, & testifying, that this is the true grace of God wherein ye stand.

¹³

¹³ The Church that is at Babylon elected, together with you, saluteth you, and so doth Marcus my sonne.

¹⁴

¹⁴ Greete yee one another with a kisse of charity: Peace bee with you all that are in Christ Iesus. Amen.
