벧전5:1~11

 

1 To the elders among you, I appeal as a fellow elder, 
a witness of Christ's sufferings and one who also will 
share in the glory to be revealed:


2 Be shepherds of God's flock that is under your care, 
serving as overseers--not because you must, 
but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; 
not greedy for money, but eager to serve;


3 not lording it over those entrusted to you,
but being examples to the flock.


4 And when the Chief Shepherd appears, 
you will receive the crown of glory that will 
never fade away.


5 Young men, in the same way be submissive to 
those who are older. 
All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward 
one another, because, "God opposes the proud but 
gives grace to the humble."


6 Humble yourselves, therefore, 
under God's mighty hand, 
that he may lift you up in due time.


7 Cast all your anxiety on him because 
he cares for you.


8 Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy 
the devil prowls around like a roaring lion 
looking for someone to devour.


9 Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because 
you know that your brothers throughout 
the world are undergoing the same 
kind of sufferings.


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 the power for ever and ever. Amen.
