1Peter chapter 5

1Peter 5

Elders are to care for the church 

1. Therefore, I exhort the Elders within you, being a fellow-Elder, and a Witness of the suffering of Christ, and a Partaker of the glory, about to be revealed;

2. shepherd the flock of God among you. Never supervise/oversee over them, forcefully but willingly, according to God; not even money profit-driven, but with alacrity;

3. Not even as exercising lordship over a portion/an acquisition, but become a model-type to the flock (believers).

4. And should the Chief/Arch-SHEPHERD manifest, you will carry away/obtain the unfading crown of glory.

Youth are to submit to God and resist the devil 

5. Likewise, the youths should submit themselves to the Elders: moreover, all should be belted-up with humility of mind to one another; because God opposes the proud, but gives Grace to the humble. (Prov 3:34). 

6. Therefore, be humble under the Powerful-HAND of God, at least, you will be elevated in due-time;

7. Cast all your anxiety/care upon HIM, because HE concerns/cares about you.

8. Abstain from drink/be sober, be vigilant; for your adversary, the devil, as it were a roaring lion, is treading all around, seeking who to gulp down/swallow up;

9. which you should withstand, by tough/solid Faith. Be aware that as brotherhood/Christian-fraternity, you are to fully accomplish things upon the same suffering in the world.

10. So, by the Grace (charistos) of God, WHO has called you to Him everybody who has suffered a little while; shall be thoroughly mended/framed, set fast (in one direction), strengthened and consolidated/established in Christ Jesus, even unto HIS Eternal Glory.

11. HIS State/Dominion and Glory, is (from) ages unto ages. (Amen).

Conclusions: Acknowledgment and greetings

12. I write, through Silvanus/Silas, your faithful brother, to exhort as I reckon on few thing, -- testifying further/corroborating through this (means), unto the Grace of the True God, on which we stand.

13 and my son [John]-Mark, greet you, the co-elected in mingled/mixed-nations/babylon.

14. Greet one another in selfless-Love (Agape), a kiss of Peace (as of mezuzah Deut 6:4-9,11:13-21) unto you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
