1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5
5 Therefore, as a fellow elder, a witness of the sufferings of the Christ and a sharer of the glory that is to be revealed,+ I make this appeal* to the elders among you:2 Shepherd the flock of God+ under your care, serving as overseers,* not under compulsion, but willingly before God;+ not for love of dishonest gain,+ but eagerly;3 not lording it over those who are God’s inheritance,+ but becoming examples to the flock.+4 And when the chief shepherd+ has been made manifest, you will receive the unfading crown of glory.+5 In the same way, you younger men, be in subjection to the older men.*+ But all of you clothe* yourselves with humility* toward one another, because God opposes the haughty ones, but he gives undeserved kindness to the humble ones.+6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God, so that he may exalt you in due time,+7 while you throw all your anxiety* on him,+ because he cares for you.+8 Keep your senses, be watchful!+ Your adversary, the Devil, walks about like a roaring lion, seeking to devour someone.*+9 But take your stand against him,+ firm in the faith, knowing that the same kind of sufferings are being experienced by the entire association of your brothers* in the world.+10 But after you have suffered a little while, the God of all undeserved kindness, who called you to his everlasting glory+ in union with Christ, will himself finish your training. He will make you firm,+ he will make you strong,+ he will firmly ground you.11 To him be the might forever. Amen.12 Through Sil·va′nus,*+ whom I regard as a faithful brother, I have written you in few words in order to encourage you and to give an earnest witness that this is the true undeserved kindness of God. Stand firm in it.13 She who is in Babylon, a chosen one like you, sends you her greetings, and so does Mark,+ my son.14 Greet one another with a kiss of love. May all of you who are in union with Christ have peace.

5 Stoga, starješine među vama pobuđujem, jer sam i ja starješina+ kao i oni i svjedok+ Kristovih patnji, a i sudionik slave koja će se očitovati:+2 Pasite+ Božje stado+ koje vam je povjereno — ne na silu, nego dragovoljno;+ ne radi nepoštenog dobitka,+ nego gorljivo;3 ne kao da gospodarite+ onima koji su vlasništvo Božje,+ nego budite uzor stadu.+4 A kad se pojavi vrhovni pastir,+ primit ćete vijenac* slave,+ koji ne vene.+5 Tako i vi, mladići, budite podložni+ starješinama.* A svi se u međusobnom ophođenju opašite poniznošću,+ jer Bog se suprotstavlja oholima, a nezasluženu dobrotu ukazuje poniznima.+6 Ponizite se, stoga, pod moćnu ruku Božju, da bi vas uzvisio kad bude vrijeme,+7 i sve svoje brige+ bacite na njega,* jer se on brine za vas.+8 Budite trezveni, bdijte!+ Protivnik vaš, Đavo, ide uokolo kao ričući lav i traži koga da proždre.+9 A vi mu se oduprite+ čvrsti u vjeri, znajući da iste patnje podnose i vaša braća po svijetu.+10 A pošto malo potrpite,+ Bog sve nezaslužene dobrote, koji vas je zbog vašeg zajedništva+ s Kristom pozvao u vječnu slavu svoju,+ on će dovršiti vaše obučavanje, učvrstit će vas,+ ojačat će vas.+11 Vječna je moć+ njegova. Amen.12 Preko Silvana,+ kojeg smatram vjernim bratom, pišem vam ukratko+ kako bih vas ohrabrio i uvjerljivo vam posvjedočio da je ovo prava nezaslužena dobrota Božja. U njoj se održite!+13 Pozdravlja vas ona koja je u Babilonu,+ izabrana kao i vi, a i Marko,+ sin moj.14 Pozdravite jedni druge poljupcem ljubavi!+Mir svima vama koji ste u zajedništvu s Kristom!+
