1我這作、作基督受苦的見證、同享後來所要顯現之榮耀的，勸你們中間與我同作長老的人：As a fellow elder, a witness of Christ’s sufferings, and a partaker of the glory to be revealed, I appeal to the elders among you:
2務要牧養在你們中間 神的群羊，按著 神旨意照管他們；不是出於，乃是出於甘心；也不是因為，乃是出於樂意；Be shepherds of God’s flock that is among you, watching over them not out of compulsion, but willingly, as God would have you; not out of greed, but out of eagerness;
3也不是所託付你們的，乃是作群羊的榜樣。not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock.
4到了顯現的時候，你們必得那的榮耀冠冕。And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away.
5你們年幼的，也要順服年長的。就是你們眾人也都要以謙卑，彼此順服；因為 神阻擋驕傲的人，賜恩給謙卑的人。Young men, in the same way, submit yourselves to your elders. And all of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, “God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”
6所以，你們要自卑，服在 神大能的手下，到了時候，他必叫你們升高。Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, so that in due time He may exalt you.
7你們要將一切的憂慮 神，因為他顧念你們。Cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.
8務要，警醒。因為你們的仇敵魔鬼，如同，遍地遊行，尋找可吞吃的人。Be sober-minded and alert. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.
9你們要用堅固的信心他，因為知道你們在世上的眾弟兄也是經歷這樣的苦難。Resist him, standing firm in your faith and in the knowledge that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kinds of suffering.
10那賜諸般恩典的 神曾在基督裡召你們，得享他永遠的榮耀，等你們暫受苦難之後，必要親自你們，堅固你們，賜力量給你們。And after you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself restore you, secure you, strengthen you, and establish you.
11願權能歸給他，直到永永遠遠。阿們！To Him be the power forever and ever. Amen.
12我略略地寫了這信，託我所看為忠心的兄弟轉交你們，勸勉你們，又證明這恩是 神的真恩。你們務要在這恩上站立得住。Through Silvanus, whom I regard as a faithful brother, I have written to you briefly, encouraging you and testifying that this is the true grace of God. Stand firm in it.
13在與你們同蒙揀選的教會問你們安。我兒子也問你們安。The church in Babylon, chosen together with you, sends you greetings, as does my son Mark.
14你們要用愛心彼此。願平安歸與你們凡在基督裡的人！Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace to all of you who are in Christ.
