1 我是基督受苦的見證人,將分享以後所顯明的榮耀。我以長老的身分勸你們中間作長老的:2 務要牧養上帝託付給你們的羊群,按著上帝的旨意甘心樂意地照顧他們,不是出於勉強,不是為了謀利,而是出於熱誠。3 不要辖制託付給你們的羊群,而是要做群羊的榜樣。4 等到大牧長顯現的時候,你們必得到永不衰殘的榮耀冠冕。5 你們年輕的要順服年長的,大家都要存謙卑的心彼此服侍。因為上帝阻擋驕傲的人,恩待謙卑的人。6 所以你們要在上帝大能的手下謙卑,時候到了,祂必擢升你們。7 你們要把一切憂慮卸給上帝,因為祂眷顧你們。8 你們務要謹慎,警醒,因為你們的仇敵魔鬼好像咆哮的獅子四處遊走,尋找可以吞吃的獵物。9 你們要以堅固的信心抵擋牠,要知道世界各地的弟兄姊妹在遭受同樣的苦難。10 你們忍受短暫的苦難之後,廣施恩典、在基督裡呼召你們享受祂永遠榮耀的上帝必親自復興你們,使你們剛強、篤定、堅立。11 願權能歸給祂,直到永永遠遠。阿們!12 在忠心的弟兄西拉的幫助下,我簡單地寫了這封信勸勉你們,並證明這是上帝真實的恩典。你們務要在這恩典上站穩。13 在巴比倫和你們一同蒙揀選的教會問候你們,我的兒子馬可也問候你們。14 你們要以愛心彼此親吻問候。 願平安歸給你們所有在基督裡的人!

1 So I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, as well as a partaker in the glory that is going to be revealed: (路24:48; 约二1:1; 约三1:1)2 shepherd the flock of God that is among you, exercising oversight,[1] not under compulsion, but willingly, as God would have you;[2] not for shameful gain, but eagerly; (约21:16; 提前3:8; 多1:7; 门1:14; 犹1:12)3 not domineering over those in your charge, but being examples to the flock. (结34:4; 太20:25; 可10:42; 林后1:24; 腓3:17; 帖后3:9; 提前4:12; 多2:7)4 And when the chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the unfading crown of glory. (林前9:25; 來13:20; 雅1:12; 彼前1:4)5 Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” (太20:26; 约13:4; 约13:14; 雅4:6; 雅4:10)6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, (彼前5:5)7 casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. (诗37:5; 诗40:17; 诗55:22; 太6:25)8 Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. (伯1:7; 伯1:9; 伯2:2; 诗22:21; 太24:42; 路22:31; 林后2:11; 弗4:27; 弗6:11; 彼前1:13; 启12:9; 启12:12)9 Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world. (徒14:22; 西2:5; 帖前3:3; 提后3:12; 雅4:7)10 And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. (路22:32; 羅16:25; 林前1:9; 帖前2:12; 提前6:12; 提后2:10; 來13:21; 彼前1:6)11 To him be the dominion forever and ever. Amen. (彼前4:11)12 By Silvanus, a faithful brother as I regard him, I have written briefly to you, exhorting and declaring that this is the true grace of God. Stand firm in it. (徒11:23; 徒15:22; 林前15:1; 林后1:19; 帖前1:1; 帖后1:1; 來13:22)13 She who is at Babylon, who is likewise chosen, sends you greetings, and so does Mark, my son. (徒12:12)14 Greet one another with the kiss of love. Peace to all of you who are in Christ. (羅16:16; 弗6:23)
