- Kapitel 5 -

(1 Timothy 3:1–7; Titus 1:5–9)

Elders who [are] among you, I exhort [you], [as] a fellow-elder, and a witness of the sufferings of the Christ, and a partaker of the glory about to be revealed,

feed the flock of God that [is] among you, overseeing not by compulsion, but willingly, neither for shameful gain, but eagerly,

neither as exercising lordship over the heritages, but becoming patterns for the flock,

and the Chief Shepherd having appeared, you will receive the unfading garland of glory.

Cast Your Cares on Him

In like manner, you young [ones], be subject to elders, and all subjecting yourselves to one another; clothe yourselves with humble-mindedness, because God resists the proud, but He gives grace to the humble;

be humbled, then, under the powerful hand of God, that He may exalt you in good time,

having cast all your care on Him, because He cares for you.

Be sober, vigilant, because your opponent the Devil walks around as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may swallow up,

whom you must resist, steadfast in the faith, having known the same sufferings of your brotherhood to be accomplished in the world.

Benediction and Farewell

And the God of all grace, who called you to His perpetual glory in Christ Jesus, having suffered a little, Himself make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle [you];

to Him [is] the glory and the power through the ages and the ages! Amen.

Through Silvanus, the faithful brother as I reckon, I wrote through few [words] to you, exhorting and testifying this to be the true grace of God in which you have stood.

She in Babylon chosen with you greets you, and my son Marcus.

Greet one another in a kiss of love. Peace to you all who [are] in Christ Jesus! Amen.

(1 Timothy 3:1–7; Titus 1:5–9)

Therefore I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and who will also share in the glory that will be revealed:

shepherd the flock of God which is among you, exercising the oversight, not under compulsion, but voluntarily; not for dishonest gain, but willingly;

not as lording it over those entrusted to you, but making yourselves examples to the flock.

When the chief Shepherd is revealed, you will receive the crown of glory that doesn’t fade away.

Cast Your Cares on Him

Likewise, you younger ones, be subject to the elder. Yes, all of you clothe yourselves with humility and subject yourselves to one another; for “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”(a)

Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time,

casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you.

Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.

Withstand him steadfast in your faith, knowing that your brothers who are in the world are undergoing the same sufferings.

Benediction and Farewell

But may the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.

To him be the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen.

Through Silvanus, our faithful brother, as I consider him, I have written to you briefly, exhorting and testifying that this is the true grace of God in which you stand.

She who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, greets you. So does Mark, my son.

Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace be to all of you who are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
