1 Peter 5 (WEBP)

[1] Therefore I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and who will also share in the glory that will be revealed:
[2] shepherd the flock of God which is among you, exercising the oversight, not under compulsion, but voluntarily; not for dishonest gain, but willingly;
[3] not as lording it over those entrusted to you, but making yourselves examples to the flock.
[4] When the chief Shepherd is revealed, you will receive the crown of glory that doesn’t fade away.
[5] Likewise, you younger ones, be subject to the elder. Yes, all of you clothe yourselves with humility and subject yourselves to one another; for “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”
[6] Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time,
[7] casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you.
[8] Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
[9] Withstand him steadfast in your faith, knowing that your brothers who are in the world are undergoing the same sufferings.
[10] But may the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.
[11] To him be the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen.
[12] Through Silvanus, our faithful brother, as I consider him, I have written to you briefly, exhorting and testifying that this is the true grace of God in which you stand.
[13] She who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, greets you. So does Mark, my son.
[14] Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace be to all of you who are in Christ Jesus. Amen.

King James w/Strong’s #s

1 Peter 5 (KJVS)

[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] 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] Neither as being lords over () [God’s] heritage , but being () ensamples to the flock .
[4] And when the chief Shepherd shall appear (), ye shall receive () a crown of glory that fadeth not away .
[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] Humble yourselves () therefore under the mighty hand of God , that he may exalt () you in due time :
[7] Casting () all your care upon him ; for he careth () for you .
[8] Be sober (), be vigilant (); because your adversary the devil , as a roaring () lion , walketh about (), seeking () whom he may devour ():
[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 () us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus , after that ye have suffered () a while , make you perfect (), stablish (), strengthen (), settle () [you].
[11] To him [be] glory and dominion for ever and ever . Amen .
[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] The [church that is] at Babylon , elected together with [you], saluteth () you ; and [so doth] Marcus my son .
[14] Greet ye () one another with a kiss of charity . Peace [be] with you all that are in Christ Jesus . Amen .

Young’s Literal Translation

1 Peter 5 (YLT)

[1] Elders who are among you, I exhort, who am a fellow-elder, and a witness of the sufferings of the Christ, and of the glory about to be revealed a partaker,
[2] feed the flock of God that is among you, overseeing not constrainedly, but willingly, neither for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind,
[3] neither as exercising lordship over the heritages, but patterns becoming of the flock,
[4] and at the manifestation of the chief Shepherd, ye shall receive the unfading crown of glory.
[5] In like manner, ye younger, be subject to elders, and all to one another subjecting yourselves; with humble-mindedness clothe yourselves, because God the proud doth resist, but to the humble He doth give grace;
[6] be humbled, then, under the powerful hand of God, that you He may exalt in good time,
[7] all your care having cast upon Him, because He careth for you.
[8] Be sober, vigilant, because your opponent the devil, as a roaring lion, doth walk about, seeking whom he may swallow up,
[9] whom resist, stedfast in the faith, having known the same sufferings to your brotherhood in the world to be accomplished.
[10] And the God of all grace, who did call you to His age-during glory in Christ Jesus, having suffered a little, Himself make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle you;
[11] to Him is the glory, and the power-to the ages and the ages! Amen.
[12] Through Silvanus, to you the faithful brother, as I reckon, through few words I did write, exhorting and testifying this to be the true grace of God in which ye have stood.
[13] Salute you doth the assembly in Babylon jointly elected, and Markus my son.
[14] Salute ye one another in a kiss of love; peace to you all who are in Christ Jesus! Amen.
