1 Peter 5

WYC

NIV

1 Therefore I, an even-elder man, and a witness of Christ's passions, which also am a communer of that glory, that shall be showed in time to come; beseech the elder men, that be among you, [+Therefore I, even-elder and a witness of Christ's passions, beseech the elder men that be in you, which also am a communer of that glory that shall be showed in time to come,]
1 To the elders among you, I appeal as a fellow elder and a witness of Christ’s sufferings who also will share in the glory to be revealed:
2 feed ye the flock of God, that is among you, and purvey ye, not as constrained, but willfully, by God [purveying not constrainingly, but willfully, after God]; not for love of foul winning, but willfully,
2 Be shepherds of God’s flock that is under your care, watching over them—not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not pursuing dishonest gain, but eager to serve;
3 neither as having lordship in the clergy, but that ye be made ensample to the flock, of will. [+neither as having lordship in the clergy, but made form, or example, of the flock, and of intent, either will.]
3 not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock.
4 And when the prince of shepherds shall appear, ye shall receive the crown of glory, that may never fade [that shall never fade].
4 And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away.
5 Also, ye young men, be ye subject to elder men, and all show ye together meekness [+Also ye younger men, be subject to elder men, forsooth all show ye together meekness]; for the Lord withstandeth proud men, but he giveth grace to meek men.
5 In the same way, you who are younger, submit yourselves to your elders. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, “God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.”
6 Therefore be ye meeked under the mighty hand of God, that he raise you in the time of visitation [that he raise you in the day of visitation],
6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.
7 and cast ye all your busyness into him, for to him is care of you. [ye casting into him all your busyness, for to him is care of you.]
7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
8 Be ye sober, and wake ye, for your adversary, the devil, as a roaring lion goeth about, seeking whom he shall devour.
8 Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.
9 Whom against stand ye, strong in the faith, witting that the same passion is made to that brotherhood of you, that is in the world [witting the same passion to be done to that your brotherhood, that is in the world].
9 Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.
10 And God of all grace, that called you into his everlasting glory, you suffering a little [in Christ Jesus], he shall perform, and shall confirm, and shall make firm [he shall perform, shall confirm, and shall make firm].
10 And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.
11 To him be glory and lordship, into worlds of worlds. Amen.
11 To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen.
12 By Silvanus, [a] faithful brother to you as I deem, I wrote shortly; beseeching, and witnessing that this is the very grace of God, in which ye stand.
12 With the help of Silas, whom I regard as a faithful brother, I have written to you briefly, encouraging you and testifying that this is the true grace of God. Stand fast in it.
13 The church that is gathered in Babylon, and Marcus, my son, greeteth you well. [The church that is gathered at Babylon greeteth you well, and Marcus, my son.]
13 She who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, sends you her greetings, and so does my son Mark.
14 Greet ye well together in holy kiss. Grace be to you all that be in Christ. Amen.
14 Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace to all of you who are in Christ.
