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:

<>vv. 1-2, <>elders … an elder, <>exhort, <>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;

<>vv. 1-2, <>the oversight, <>not by constraint, but willingly … of a ready mind, <>not for filthy lucre, <>filthy, <>of a ready mind

3 Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples to the flock.

<>God's heritage, <>being ensamples to the flock

4 And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.

<>the chief Shepherd, <>a crown of glory that fadeth not away, <>crown of glory

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.

<>younger, <>all of you be subject one to another, <>be clothed with humility, <>clothed, <>grace

6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:

<>v. 6, <>due time

7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

<>Casting all your care upon him

8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

<>vv. 8-9, <>Be sober, be vigilant, <>Be sober, <>be vigilant, <>adversary, <>a roaring lion

9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.

<>vv. 8-9, <>the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world, <>afflictions

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.

<>God … hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, <>suffered a while, <>make you perfect, <>perfect, <>stablish, <>settle

11 To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

<>glory … dominion, <>dominion for ever and ever

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.

<>I have written

13 The church that is at Babylon, elected together with you, saluteth you; and so doth Marcus my son.

<>church, <>elected, <>saluteth

14 Greet ye one another with a kiss of charity. Peace be with you all that are in Christ Jesus. Amen.

<>kiss of charity, <>charity, <>Peace be with you all that are in Christ Jesus., <>Peace, <>in Christ Jesus
