The elders who are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Mâshı̂yach, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:
Feed the flock of Êlôhîym which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;
Neither as being masters over his heritage, but being examples to the flock.
And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, you shall receive a crown of glory that does not fade away.
Likewise, you younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for Êlôhîym resists the proud, and gives grace to the humble.
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of Êlôhîym, that he may exalt you in due time:
Casting all your care upon him; for he cares for you.
Be sober, be vigilant; because your accuser the diabolos, as a roaring lion, walks around, seeking whom he may devour:
Whom resist solid in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
But the Êlôhîym of all grace, who has called us unto his eternal glory by Mâshı̂yach Yahusha, after that you have suffered a while, make you perfect, confirm, strengthen, settle you.
To him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Âmên.
By Silouanós, a faithful brother unto you, as I suppose, I have written briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of Êlôhîym where you stand.
The ones Bâbel, elected together with you, salute you; and so Márkos my son.
Greet you one another with a kiss of love. Peace be with you all that are in Mâshı̂yach Yahusha. Âmên.
