| 1 | The Elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an Elder, and a witnesse of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be reuealed. |
| 2 | Feede the flocke of God which is among you, taking the ouersight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly: not for filthy lucre, but of a ready minde: |
| 3 | Neither as being lords ouer Gods heritage: but being ensamples to the flocke. |
| 4 | And when the chiefe shepheard shall appeare, ye shall receiue a crowne of glory that fadeth not away. |
| 5 | Likewise ye yonger, submit your selues vnto the elder: yea, all of you bee subiect one to another, and bee clothed with humilitie: for God resisteth the proud, and giueth grace to the humble. |
| 6 | Humble yourselues therefore vnder the mighty hand of God, that hee may exalt you in due time, |
| 7 | Casting all your care vpon him, for he careth for you. |
| 8 | Be sober, be vigilant: because your aduersary the deuill, as a roaring Lion walketh about, seeking whom he may deuoure. |
| 9 | Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. |
| 10 | But the God of all grace who hath called vs into his eternall glory by Christ Iesus, after that ye haue suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. |
| 11 | To him bee glory and dominion for euer and euer. Amen. |
| 12 | By Syluanus a faithfull brother vnto you, (as I suppose) I haue written briefly, exhorting, & testifying, that this is the true grace of God wherein ye stand. |
| 13 | The Church that is at Babylon elected, together with you, saluteth you, and so doth Marcus my sonne. |
| 14 | Greete yee one another with a kisse of charity: Peace bee with you all that are in Christ Iesus. Amen. |
