Prima lettera di Pietro 5

NOVA VULGATA	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 Seniores ergo, qui in vobis sunt, obsecro, consenior et testis Chri stipassionum, qui et eius, quae in futuro revelanda est, gloriae communicator:	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:
2 Pascite, qui est in vobis, gregem Dei, providentes non coacto sed spontaneesecundum Deum, neque turpis lucri gratia sed voluntarie,	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;
3 neque ut dominantesin cleris sed formae facti gregis.	3 Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples to the flock.
4 Et cum apparuerit Princeps pastorum,percipietis immarcescibilem gloriae coro nam.	4 And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.
5 Similiter, adulescentes, subditiestote senioribus. Omnes autem invicem humilitatem induite, quia Deus superbis resistit, humilibus autem dat gratiam.	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.
6 Humiliamini igitur sub potenti manu Dei, ut vos exaltet in tempore,	6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
7 omnemsollicitudinem vestram proicientes in eum, quoniam ipsi cura est de vobis.	7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
8 Sobrii estote, vigilate. Adversarius vester Diabolus tamquam leo rugiens circuitquaerens quem devoret.	8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
9 Cui resistite fortes fide, scientes eadem passionum ei,quae in mundo est, vestrae fraternitati fieri.	9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
10 Deus autem omnis gratiae, qui vocavit vos in aeternam suam gloriam in ChristoIesu, modicum passos ipse perficiet, confirmabit, solidabit, fundabit.	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.
11 Ipsiimperium in saecula saeculorum. Amen.	11 To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
12 Per Silvanum vobis fidelem fratrem, ut arbitror, breviter scripsi, obsecranset contestans hanc esse veram gratiam Dei; in qua state.	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.
13 Salutat vos, quaeest in Babylone, coelecta et Marcus filius meus.	13 The church that is at Babylon, elected together with you, saluteth you; and so doth Marcus my son.
14 Salutate invicem in osculocaritatis. Pax vobis omnibus, qui estis in Christo.	14 Greet ye one another with a kiss of charity. Peace be with you all that are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
