1 Peter 5

KING JAMES BIBLE	NEW JERUSALEM
1 The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:	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:
2 Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;	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.
3 Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples to the flock.	3 Do not lord it over the group which is in your charge, but be an example for the flock.
4 And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.	4 When the chief shepherd appears, you wil be given the unfading crown of glory.
5 Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.	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.
6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:	6 Bow down, then, before the power of God now, so that he may raise you up in due time;
7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.	7 unload al your burden on to him, since he is concerned about you.
8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:	8 Keep sober and alert, because your enemy the devil is on the prowl like a roaring lion, looking forsomeone to devour.
9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.	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.
10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.	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.
11 To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.	11 His power lasts for ever and ever. Amen.
12 By Silvanus, a faithful brother unto you, as I suppose, I have written briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God wherein ye stand.	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!
13 The church that is at Babylon, elected together with you, saluteth you; and so doth Marcus my son.	13 Your sister in Babylon, who is with you among the chosen, sends you greetings; so does my son,Mark.
14 Greet ye one another with a kiss of charity. Peace be with you all that are in Christ Jesus. Amen.	14 Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace to you al who are in Christ.
