New Century Version NCV
The Latin Vulgate VUL
1 Now I have something to say to the elders in your group. I also am an elder. I have seen Christ's sufferings, and I will share in the glory that will be shown to us. I beg you to
1
seniores ergo qui in vobis sunt obsecro consenior et testis Christi passionum qui et eius quae in futuro revelanda est gloriae communicator
2 shepherd God's flock, for whom you are responsible. Watch over them because you want to, not because you are forced. That is how God wants it. Do it because you are happy to serve, not because you want money.
2
pascite qui est in vobis gregem Dei providentes non coacto sed spontanee secundum Deum neque turpis lucri gratia sed voluntarie
3 Do not be like a ruler over people you are responsible for, but be good examples to them.
3
neque ut dominantes in cleris sed formae facti gregi et ex animo
4 Then when Christ, the Chief Shepherd, comes, you will get a glorious crown that will never lose its beauty.
4
et cum apparuerit princeps pastorum percipietis inmarcescibilem gloriae coronam
5 In the same way, younger people should be willing to be under older people. And all of you should be very humble with each other. "God is against the proud, but he gives grace to the humble."
5
similiter adulescentes subditi estote senioribus omnes autem invicem humilitatem insinuate quia Deus superbis resistit humilibus autem dat gratiam
6 Be humble under God's powerful hand so he will lift you up when the right time comes.
6
humiliamini igitur sub potenti manu Dei ut vos exaltet in tempore visitationis
7 Give all your worries to him, because he cares about you.
7
omnem sollicitudinem vestram proicientes in eum quoniam ipsi cura est de vobis
8 Control yourselves and be careful! The devil, your enemy, goes around like a roaring lion looking for someone to eat.
8
sobrii estote vigilate quia adversarius vester diabolus tamquam leo rugiens circuit quaerens quem devoret
9 Refuse to give in to him, by standing strong in your faith. You know that your Christian family all over the world is having the same kinds of suffering.
9
cui resistite fortes fide scientes eadem passionum ei quae in mundo est vestrae fraternitati fieri
10 And after you suffer for a short time, God, who gives all grace, will make everything right. He will make you strong and support you and keep you from falling. He called you to share in his glory in Christ, a glory that will continue forever.
10
Deus autem omnis gratiae qui vocavit nos in aeternam suam gloriam in Christo Iesu modicum passos ipse perficiet confirmabit solidabit
11 All power is his forever and ever. Amen.
11
ipsi imperium in saecula saeculorum amen
12 I wrote this short letter with the help of Silas, who I know is a faithful brother in Christ. I wrote to encourage you and to tell you that this is the true grace of God. Stand strong in that grace.
12
per Silvanum vobis fidelem fratrem ut arbitror breviter scripsi obsecrans et contestans hanc esse veram gratiam Dei in qua state
13 The church in Babylon, who was chosen like you, sends you greetings. Mark, my son in Christ, also greets you.
13
salutat vos quae est in Babylone cumelecta et Marcus filius meus
14 Give each other a kiss of Christian love when you meet. Peace to all of you who are in Christ.
14
salutate invicem in osculo sancto gratia vobis omnibus qui estis in Christo
