I Petri 5

VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Seniores ergo, qui in vobis sunt, obsecro, consenior et testis Christi passionum : qui et ejus, quæ in futuro revelanda est, gloriæ communicator :	1 So I exhort the presbyters among you, as a fellow presbyter and witness to the sufferings of Christ and one who has a share in the glory to be revealed.
2 pascite qui in vobis est gregem Dei, providentes non coacte, sed spontanee secundum Deum : neque turpis lucri gratia, sed voluntarie :	2 Tend the flock of God in your midst, (overseeing) not by constraint but willingly, as God would have it, not for shameful profit but eagerly.
3 neque ut dominantes in cleris, sed forma facti gregis ex animo.	3 Do not lord it over those assigned to you, but be examples to the flock.
4 Et cum apparuerit princeps pastorum, percipietis immarcescibilem gloriæ coronam.	4 And when the chief Shepherd is revealed, you will receive the unfading crown of glory.
5 Similiter adolescentes subditi estote senioribus. Omnes autem invicem humilitatem insinuate, quia Deus superbis resistit, humilibus autem dat gratiam.	5 Likewise, you younger members, be subject to the presbyters. And all of you, clothe yourselves with humility in your dealings with one another, for: "God opposes the proud but bestows favor on the humble."
6 Humiliamini igitur sub potenti manu Dei, ut vos exaltet in tempore visitationis :	6 So humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time.
7 omnem sollicitudinem vestram projicientes in eum, quoniam ipsi cura est de vobis.	7 Cast all your worries upon him because he cares for you.
8 Sobrii estote, et vigilate : quia adversarius vester diabolus tamquam leo rugiens circuit, quærens quem devoret :	8 Be sober and vigilant. Your opponent the devil is prowling around like a roaring lion looking for (someone) to devour.
9 cui resistite fortes in fide : scientes eamdem passionem ei quæ in mundo est vestræ fraternitati fieri.	9 Resist him, steadfast in faith, knowing that your fellow believers throughout the world undergo the same sufferings.
10 Deus autem omnis gratiæ, qui vocavit nos in æternam suam gloriam in Christo Jesu, modicum passos ipse perficiet, confirmabit, solidabitque.	10 The God of all grace who called you to his eternal glory through Christ (Jesus) will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you after you have suffered a little.
11 Ipsi gloria, et imperium in sæcula sæculorum. Amen.	11 To him be dominion forever. Amen.
12 Per Silvanum fidelem fratrem vobis, ut arbitror, breviter scripsi : obsecrans et contestans, hanc esse veram gratiam Dei, in qua statis.	12 I write you this briefly through Silvanus, whom I consider a faithful brother, exhorting you and testifying that this is the true grace of God. Remain firm in it.
13 Salutat vos ecclesia quæ est in Babylone coëlecta, et Marcus filius meus.	13 The chosen one at Babylon sends you greeting, as does Mark, my son.
14 Salutate invicem in osculo sancto. Gratia vobis omnibus qui estis in Christo Jesu. Amen.	14 Greet one another with a loving kiss. Peace to all of you who are in Christ.
