New American Standard Bible
Chapter 5
2
shepherd the flock of God among you, exercising oversight, not under compulsion but voluntarily, according to
the will of
God; and not with greed but with eagerness;
3
nor yet as domineering over those assigned to your care, but by proving to be examples to the flock.
4
And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the unfading crown of glory.
5
You younger men, likewise, be subject to
your
elders; and all of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because
God
IS OPPOSED TO THE PROUD, BUT HE GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE.
6
Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, so that He may exalt you at the proper time,
7
having cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares about you.
King James Version
Chapter 5
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.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 5
2
Shepherd God’s flock among you, not overseeing out of compulsion but willingly, as God would have you; not out of greed for money but eagerly;
3
not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock.
4
And when the chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the unfading crown of glory.
5
In the same way, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. All of you clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because
God resists the proud
but gives grace to the humble.
6
Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God, so that he may exalt you at the proper time,
7
casting all your cares on him, because he cares about you.
New Living Translation
Chapter 5
2
Care for the flock that God has entrusted to you. Watch over it willingly, not grudgingly — not for what you will get out of it, but because you are eager to serve God.
3
Don’t lord it over the people assigned to your care, but lead them by your own good example.
4
And when the Great Shepherd appears, you will receive a crown of never-ending glory and honor.
5
In the same way, you who are younger must accept the authority of the elders. And all of you, dress yourselves in humility as you relate to one another, for
'God opposes the proud
but gives grace to the humble.'
6
So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time he will lift you up in honor.
7
Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.
English Standard Version
Chapter 5
2
shepherd the flock of God that is among you, exercising oversight, not under compulsion, but willingly, as God would have you; not for shameful gain, but eagerly;
3
not domineering over those in your charge, but being examples to the flock.
4
And when the chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the unfading crown of glory.
5
Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for "God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble."
6
Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you,
7
casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.
New International Version
Chapter 5
2
Be shepherds of God’s flock that is under your care, watching over them—not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not pursuing dishonest gain, but eager to serve;
3
not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock.
4
And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away.
5
In the same way, you who are younger, submit yourselves to your elders. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because,
"God opposes the proud
but shows favor to the humble."
6
Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.
7
Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
New King James Version
Chapter 5
2
Shepherd the flock of God which is among you, serving as overseers, not by compulsion but willingly, not for dishonest gain but eagerly;
3
nor as being lords over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock;
4
and when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that does not fade away.
5
Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to
your
elders. Yes, all of
you
be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for
“God resists the proud,
But gives grace to the humble.”
6
Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time,
7
casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.
