1 Peter 5

NEW JERUSALEM	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 I urge the elders among you, as a fellow-elder myself and a witness to the sufferings of Christ, and asone who is to have a share in the glory that is to be revealed:	1 The ancients therefore that are among you, I beseech, who am myself also an ancient, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ: as also a partaker of that glory which is to be revealed in time to come:
2 give a shepherd's care to the flock of God that is entrusted to you: watch over it, not simply as a dutybut gladly, as God wants; not for sordid money, but because you are eager to do it.	2 Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking care of it, not by constraint, but willingly, according to God: not for filthy lucre's sake, but voluntarily:
3 Do not lord it over the group which is in your charge, but be an example for the flock.	3 Neither as lording it over the clergy, but being made a pattern of the flock from the heart.
4 When the chief shepherd appears, you wil be given the unfading crown of glory.	4 And when the prince of pastors shall appear, you shall receive a never fading crown of glory.
5 In the same way, younger people, be subject to the elders. Humility towards one another must be thegarment you all wear constantly, because God opposes the proud but accords his favour to the humble.	5 In like manner, ye young men, be subject to the ancients. And do you all insinuate humility one to another, for God resisteth the proud, but to the humble he giveth grace.
6 Bow down, then, before the power of God now, so that he may raise you up in due time;	6 Be you humbled therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in the time of visitation:
7 unload al your burden on to him, since he is concerned about you.	7 Casting all your care upon him, for he hath care of you.
8 Keep sober and alert, because your enemy the devil is on the prowl like a roaring lion, looking forsomeone to devour.	8 Be sober and watch: because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, goeth about seeking whom he may devour.
9 Stand up to him, strong in faith and in the knowledge that it is the same kind of suffering that thecommunity of your brothers throughout the world is undergoing.	9 Whom resist ye, strong in faith: knowing that the same affliction befalls your brethren who are in the world.
10 You wil have to suffer only for a little while: the God of all grace who called you to eternal glory inChrist wil restore you, he wil confirm, strengthen and support you.	10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us into his eternal glory in Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little, will himself perfect you, and confirm you, and establish you.
11 His power lasts for ever and ever. Amen.	11 To him be glory and empire for ever and ever. Amen.
12 I write these few words to you through Silvanus, who is a trustworthy brother, to encourage you andattest that this is the true grace of God. Stand firm in it!	12 By Sylvanus, a faithful brother unto you, as I think, I have written briefly: beseeching and testifying that this is the true grace of God, wherein you stand.
13 Your sister in Babylon, who is with you among the chosen, sends you greetings; so does my son,Mark.	13 The church that is in Babylon, elected together with you, saluteth you: and so doth my son Mark.
14 Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace to you al who are in Christ.	14 Salute one another with a holy kiss. Grace be to all you, who are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
