베드로전서 5

1너희 중 장로들에게 권하노니 나는 함께 장로 된 자요 그리스도의 고난의 증인이요 나타날 영광에 참예할 자로라 2너희 중에 있는 하나님의 양 무리를 치되 부득이함으로 하지 말고 오직 하나님의 뜻을 좇아 자원함으로 하며 더러운 이를 위하여 하지 말고 오직 즐거운 뜻으로 하며 3맡기운 자들에게 주장하는 자세를 하지 말고 오직 양 무리의 본이 되라 4그리하면 목자장이 나타나실 때에 시들지 아니하는 영광의 면류관을 얻으리라 5젊은 자들아 이와 같이 장로들에게 순복하고 다 서로 겸손으로 허리를 동이라 하나님이 교만한 자를 대적하시되 겸손한 자들에게는 은혜를 주시느니라 6그러므로 하나님의 능하신 손 아래서 겸손하라 때가 되면 너희를 높이시리라 7너희 염려를 다 주께 맡겨 버리라 이는 저가 너희를 권고하심이니라 8근신하라 깨어라 너희 대적 마귀가 우는 사자 같이 두루 다니며 삼킬 자를 찾나니 9너희는 믿음을 굳게 하여 저를 대적하라 이는 세상에 있는 너희 형제들도 동일한 고난을 당하는 줄을 앎이니라 10모든 은혜의 하나님 곧 그리스도 안에서 너희를 부르사 자기의 영원한 영광에 들어가게 하신 이가 잠간 고난을 받은 너희를 친히 온전케 하시며 굳게 하시며 강하게 하시며 터를 견고케 하시리라 11권력이 세세무궁토록 그에게 있을지어다 아멘 12내가 신실한 형제로 아는 실루아노로 말미암아 너희에게 간단히 써서 권하고 이것이 하나님의 참된 은혜임을 증거하노니 너희는 이 은혜에 굳게 서라 13함께 택하심을 받은 바벨론에 있는 교회가 너희에게 문안하고 내 아들 마가도 그리하느니라 14너희는 사랑의 입맞춤으로 피차 문안하라 그리스도 안에 있는 너희 모든 이에게 평강이 있을지어다

1I 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. 2Shepherd the flock of God which is among you, exercising the oversight, not under compulsion, but voluntarily, not for dishonest gain, but willingly; 3neither as lording it over those entrusted to you, but making yourselves examples to the flock. 4When the chief Shepherd is revealed, you will receive the crown of glory that doesn’t fade away. 5Likewise, you younger ones, be subject to the elder. Yes, all of you clothe yourselves with humility, to subject yourselves to one another; for “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” 6Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time; 7casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you. 8Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. 9Withstand him steadfast in your faith, knowing that your brothers who are in the world are undergoing the same sufferings. 10But 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. 11To him be the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen. 12Through 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. 13She who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, greets you; and so does Mark, my son. 14Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace be to you all who are in Christ Jesus. Amen.

1De ouderlingen, die onder u zijn, vermaan ik, die een medeouderling, en getuige des lijdens van Christus ben, en deelachtig der heerlijkheid, die geopenbaard zal worden: 2Weidt de kudde Gods, die onder u is, hebbende opzicht daarover, niet uit bedwang, maar gewilliglijk; noch om vuil gewin, maar met een volvaardig gemoed; 3Noch als heerschappij voerende over het erfdeel des Heeren maar als voorbeelden der kudde geworden zijnde. 4En als de overste Herder verschenen zal zijn, zo zult gij de onverwelkelijke kroon der heerlijkheid behalen. 5Desgelijks gij jongen, zijt den ouden onderdanig; en zijt allen elkander onderdanig; zijt met de ootmoedigheid bekleed; want God wederstaat de hovaardigen, maar de nederigen geeft Hij genade. 6Vernedert u dan onder de krachtige hand Gods, opdat Hij u verhoge te Zijner tijd. 7Werpt al uw bekommernis op Hem, want Hij zorgt voor u. 8Zijt nuchteren, en waakt; want uw tegenpartij, de duivel, gaat om als een briesende leeuw, zoekende, wien hij zou mogen verslinden; 9Denwelken wederstaat, vast zijnde in het geloof, wetende, dat hetzelfde lijden aan uw broederschap, die in de wereld is, volbracht wordt. 10De God nu aller genade, Die ons geroepen heeft tot Zijn eeuwige heerlijkheid in Christus Jezus, nadat wij een weinig tijds zullen geleden hebben, Dezelve volmake, bevestige, versterke, en fondere ulieden. 11Hem zij de heerlijkheid en de kracht in alle eeuwigheid. Amen. 12Door Silvanus, die u een getrouw broeder is, zo ik acht, heb ik met weinige woorden geschreven, vermanende en betuigende, dat deze is de waarachtige genade Gods, in welke gij staat. 13U groet de medeuitverkorene Gemeente, die in Babylon is, en Markus, mijn zoon. 14Groet elkander met een kus der liefde. Vrede zij u allen, die in Christus Jezus zijt. Amen.
