1 The elders

ℵBA ⟨elders therefore⟩

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:

1 Seniores ergo, qui in vobis sunt, obsecro, consenior et testis Christi passionum: qui et ejus, quæ in futuro revelanda est, gloriæ communicator:

2 Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof,

ℵB omit

not by constraint, but willingly

ℵA ⟨willingly according to God⟩

; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;

2 pascite qui in vobis est gregem Dei, providentes non coacte, sed spontanee secundum Deum: neque turpis lucri gratia, sed voluntarie:

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

B omit

3 neque ut dominantes in cleris, sed forma facti gregis ex animo.

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

4 Et cum apparuerit princeps pastorum, percipietis immarcescibilem gloriæ coronam.

5 Likewise

ℵ ⟨And likewise⟩

, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject

ℵBA omit

one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.

5 Similiter adolescentes subditi estote senioribus. ¶ Omnes autem invicem humilitatem insinuate, quia Deus superbis resistit, humilibus autem dat gratiam.

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

A ⟨the time of visitation⟩

:

6 Humiliamini igitur sub potenti manu Dei, ut vos exaltet in tempore visitationis:

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

ℵ ⟨us⟩

.

7 omnem sollicitudinem vestram projicientes in eum, quoniam ipsi cura est de vobis.

8 Be sober, be vigilant; because

ℵBA omit

your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about

ℵBA ⟨walketh about as a roaring lion⟩

, seeking whom he may

B ⟨to⟩; ℵ ⟨someone to⟩

devour:

8 Sobrii estote, et vigilate: quia adversarius vester diabolus tamquam leo rugiens circuit, quærens quem devoret:

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

9 cui resistite fortes in fide: scientes eamdem passionem ei quæ in mundo est vestræ fraternitati fieri.

10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us

ℵBA ⟨you⟩

unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus

ℵB omit

, after that ye have suffered a while, make

ℵBA ⟨will make⟩

you

ℵA omit

perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle

BA omit

you.

10 Deus autem omnis gratiæ, qui vocavit nos in æternam suam gloriam in Christo Jesu, modicum passos ipse perficiet, confirmabit, solidabitque.

11 To him be glory and

BA omit

dominion for ever and ever

B omit

. Amen.

11 Ipsi gloria, et imperium in sæcula sæculorum. Amen.

12 By Silvanus, a faithful brother unto you, as I suppose, I have written briefly, exhorting, and testifying

ℵ omit

that this is the true grace of God wherein ye stand.

12 ¶ Per Silvanum fidelem fratrem vobis, ut arbitror, breviter scripsi: obsecrans et contestans, hanc esse veram gratiam Dei, in qua statis.

13 The church that is

ℵ ⟨church⟩

at Babylon, elected together with you, saluteth you; and so doth Marcus my son.

13 Salutat vos ecclesia quæ est in Babylone coëlecta, et Marcus filius meus.

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

BA omit

. Amen.

BA omit

14 Salutate invicem in osculo sancto. Gratia vobis omnibus qui estis in Christo Jesu. Amen.
