The eldersG4245 which are amongG1722 youG5213 I exhortG3870, whoG3588 am also an elderG4850, andG2532 a witnessG3144 of the sufferingsG3804 of ChristG5547, and alsoG2532 a partakerG2844 of the gloryG1391 that shallG3195 be revealedG601:
FeedG4165 the flockG4168 of GodG2316 which is amongG1722 youG5213, taking the oversightG1983 thereof, notG3361 by constraintG317, butG235 willinglyG1596; notG3366 for filthy lucreG147, butG235 of a ready mindG4290; {which…: or, as much as in you is}
NeitherG3366 asG5613 being lords overG2634 God's heritageG2819, butG235 beingG1096 ensamplesG5179 to the flockG4168. {being lords over: or, overruling}
AndG2532 when the chief ShepherdG750 shall appearG5319, ye shall receiveG2865 a crownG4735 of gloryG1391 that fadeth not awayG262.
LikewiseG3668, ye youngerG3501, submit yourselvesG5293 unto the elderG4245. YeaG1161, allG3956 of you be subjectG5293 one to anotherG240, and be clothedG1463 with humilityG5012: forG3754 GodG2316 resistethG498 the proudG5244, andG1161 givethG1325 graceG5485 to the humbleG5011.
Humble yourselvesG5013 thereforeG3767 underG5259 the mightyG2900 handG5495 of GodG2316, thatG2443 he may exaltG5312 youG5209 inG1722 due timeG2540:
CastingG1977 allG3956 yourG5216 careG3308 uponG1909 himG846; forG3754 heG846 carethG3199 forG4012 youG5216.
Be soberG3525, be vigilantG1127; becauseG3754 yourG5216 adversaryG476 the devilG1228, asG5613 a roaringG5612 lionG3023, walketh aboutG4043, seekingG2212 whomG5101 he may devourG2666:
WhomG3739 resistG436 stedfastG4731 in the faithG4102, knowingG1492 that the sameG846 afflictionsG3804 are accomplishedG2005 in yourG5216 brethrenG81 that are inG1722 the worldG2889.
ButG1161 the GodG2316 of allG3956 graceG5485, whoG3588 hath calledG2564 usG2248 untoG1519 hisG846 eternalG166 gloryG1391 byG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424, after that ye have sufferedG3958 a whileG3641+G846, makeG2675 youG5209 perfectG2675, stablishG4741, strengthenG4599, settleG2311 you.
To himG846 be gloryG1391 andG2532 dominionG2904 forG1519 everG165 and everG165. AmenG281.
ByG1223 SilvanusG4610, a faithfulG4103 brotherG80 unto youG5213, asG5613 I supposeG3049, I have writtenG1125 brieflyG1223+G3641, exhortingG3870, andG2532 testifyingG1957 that thisG5026 isG1511 the trueG227 graceG5485 of GodG2316 whereinG1519+G3739 ye standG2476.
The church that is atG1722 BabylonG897, elected together withG4899 you, salutethG782 youG5209; andG2532 so doth MarcusG3138 myG3450 sonG5207.
Greet yeG782 one anotherG240 withG1722 a kissG5370 of charityG26. PeaceG1515 be with youG5213 allG3956 that are inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424. AmenG281.

Yet forG1223 love'sG26 sake IG3870 ratherG3123 beseechG3870 thee, beingG5607 such an oneG5108 asG5613 PaulG3972 the agedG4246, andG1161 nowG3570 alsoG2532 a prisonerG1198 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
Unto whomG3739 it was revealedG601, thatG3754 notG3756 unto themselvesG1438, butG1161 unto usG2254 they did ministerG1247 the thingsG846, whichG3739 areG312 nowG3568 reportedG312 unto youG5213 byG1223 them that have preached the gospelG2097 unto youG5209 withG1722 the HolyG40 GhostG4151 sent downG649 fromG575 heavenG3772; which thingsG3739 the angelsG32 desireG1937 to lookG3879 intoG1519.

AndG1161 when they had ordainedG5500 themG846 eldersG4245 in everyG2596 churchG1577, and had prayedG4336 withG3326 fastingG3521, they commendedG3908 themG846 to the LordG2962, onG1519 whomG3739 they believedG4100.
The elderG4245 unto the electG1588 ladyG2959 andG2532 herG846 childrenG5043, whomG3739 IG1473 loveG25 inG1722 the truthG225; andG2532 notG3756 IG1473 onlyG3441, butG235 alsoG2532 allG3956 they that have knownG1097 the truthG225;
BlessedG2128 be the GodG2316 andG2532 FatherG3962 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, whichG3588 according toG2596 hisG846 abundantG4183 mercyG1656 hath begottenG313 usG2248 againG313 untoG1519 a livelyG2198 hopeG1680 byG1223 the resurrectionG386 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 fromG1537 the deadG3498, {abundant: Gr. much}
ToG1519 an inheritanceG2817 incorruptibleG862, andG2532 undefiledG283, andG2532 that fadeth not awayG263, reservedG5083 inG1722 heavenG3772 forG1519 youG5209, {for you: or, for us}
WhoG3588 are keptG5432 byG1722 the powerG1411 of GodG2316 throughG1223 faithG4102 untoG1519 salvationG4991 readyG2092 to be revealedG601 inG1722 the lastG2078 timeG2540.
AndG1161 when they were comeG3854 toG1519 JerusalemG2419, they were receivedG588 ofG5259 the churchG1577, andG2532 of the apostlesG652 andG2532 eldersG4245, andG5037 they declaredG312 all thingsG3745 that GodG2316 had doneG4160 withG3326 themG846.
The elderG4245 unto the wellbelovedG27 GaiusG1050, whomG3739 IG1473 loveG25 inG1722 the truthG225. {in…: or, truly}
ButG1161 whenG3752 the ComforterG3875 is comeG2064, whomG3739 IG1473 will sendG3992 unto youG5213 fromG3844 the FatherG3962, even the SpiritG4151 of truthG225, whichG3739 proceedethG1607 fromG3844 the FatherG3962, heG1565 shall testifyG3140 ofG4012 meG1700:
AndG1161 the apostlesG652 andG2532 eldersG4245 came togetherG4863 for to considerG1492 ofG4012 thisG5127 matterG3056.
AndG1161 yeG5210 alsoG2532 shall bear witnessG3140, becauseG3754 ye have beenG2075 withG3326 meG1700 fromG575 the beginningG746.
Whom have I in heavenH8064 but thee? and there is none upon earthH776 that I desireH2654 beside thee.
ThenG5119 pleased itG1380 the apostlesG652 andG2532 eldersG4245, withG4862 the wholeG3650 churchG1577, to sendG3992 chosenG1586 menG435 ofG1537 their own companyG846 toG1519 AntiochG490 withG4862 PaulG3972 andG2532 BarnabasG921; namely, JudasG2455 surnamedG1941 BarsabasG923, andG2532 SilasG4609, chiefG2233 menG435 amongG1722 the brethrenG80:
ButG235 ye shall receiveG2983 powerG1411, after that the HolyG40 GhostG4151 is comeG1904 uponG1909 youG5209: andG2532 ye shall beG2071 witnessesG3144 unto meG3427 bothG5037 inG1722 JerusalemG2419, andG2532 inG1722 allG3956 JudaeaG2449, andG2532 in SamariaG4540, andG2532 untoG2193 the uttermost partG2078 of the earthG1093. {power…: or, the power of the Holy Ghost coming upon you}
AndG1161 ifG1487 childrenG5043, thenG2532 heirsG2818; heirsG2818 of GodG3303+G2316, andG1161 joint-heirsG4789 with ChristG5547; if so beG1512 that we suffer withG4841 him, thatG2443 we may beG4888 alsoG2532 glorified togetherG4888.
And they wroteG1125 letters byG1223 themG5495+G846 after this mannerG3592; The apostlesG652 andG2532 eldersG4245 andG2532 brethrenG80 send greetingG5463 unto the brethrenG80 whichG3588 are ofG1537 the GentilesG1484 inG2596 AntiochG490 andG2532 SyriaG4947 andG2532 CiliciaG2791:
BeginningG756 fromG575 the baptismG908 of JohnG2491, untoG2193 that same dayG2250 thatG3739 he was taken upG353 fromG575 usG2257, mustG1163 oneG1520 be ordainedG1096 to be a witnessG3144 withG4862 usG2254 of hisG846 resurrectionG386.
ForG1063 I reckonG3049 thatG3754 the sufferingsG3804 of this presentG3568 timeG2540 are notG3756 worthyG514 to be compared withG4314 the gloryG1391 which shallG3195 be revealedG601 inG1519 usG2248.
AndG1161 fromG575 MiletusG3399 he sentG3992 toG1519 EphesusG2181, and calledG3333 the eldersG4245 of the churchG1577.
ThisG5126 JesusG2424 hathG450 GodG2316 raised upG450, whereofG3739 weG2249 allG3956 areG2070 witnessesG3144.
ForG1063 we knowG1492 thatG3754 ifG1437 ourG2257 earthlyG1919 houseG3614 of this tabernacleG4636 were dissolvedG2647, we haveG2192 a buildingG3619 ofG1537 GodG2316, an houseG3614 not made with handsG886, eternalG166 inG1722 the heavensG3772.
Take heedG4337 thereforeG3767 unto yourselvesG1438, andG2532 to allG3956 the flockG4168, overG1722 the whichG3739 the HolyG40 GhostG4151 hath madeG5087 youG5209 overseersG1985, to feedG4165 the churchG1577 of GodG2316, whichG3739 he hath purchasedG4046 withG1223 his ownG2398 bloodG129.
AndG1161 killedG615 the PrinceG747 of lifeG2222, whomG3739 GodG2316 hath raisedG1453 fromG1537 the deadG3498; whereofG3739 weG2249 areG2070 witnessesG3144. {Prince: or, Author}
We are confidentG2292, I say, andG1161+G2532 willingG2106 ratherG3123 to be absentG1553 fromG1537 the bodyG4983, andG2532 to be presentG1736 withG4314 the LordG2962.
AndG1161 the day followingG1966 PaulG3972 went inG1524 withG4862 usG2254 untoG4314 JamesG2385; andG5037 allG3956 the eldersG4245 were presentG3854.
The GodG2316 of ourG2257 fathersG3962 raised upG1453 JesusG2424, whomG3739 yeG5210 slewG1315 and hangedG2910 onG1909 a treeG3586.
HimG5126 hath GodG2316 exaltedG5312 with hisG846 right handG1188 to be a PrinceG747 andG2532 a SaviourG4990, for to giveG1325 repentanceG3341 to IsraelG2474, andG2532 forgivenessG859 of sinsG266.
AndG2532 weG2249 areG2070 hisG846 witnessesG3144 of theseG5130 thingsG4487; andG2532 so is alsoG1161 the HolyG40 GhostG4151, whomG3739 GodG2316 hath givenG1325 to them that obeyG3980 himG846.
ForG1063 I knowG1492 thatG3754 thisG5124 shall turnG576 toG1519 myG3427 salvationG4991 throughG1223 yourG5216 prayerG1162, andG2532 the supplyG2024 of the SpiritG4151 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547,
RebukeG1969 notG3361 an elderG4245, butG235 intreatG3870 him asG5613 a fatherG3962; and the younger menG3501 asG5613 brethrenG80;
AndG2532 weG2249 areG2070 witnessesG3144 of all thingsG3956 whichG3739 he didG4160 bothG5037 inG1722 the landG5561 of the JewsG2453, andG2532 inG1722 JerusalemG2419; whomG3739 they slewG337 and hangedG2910 onG1909 a treeG3586:
HimG5126 GodG2316 raised upG1453 the thirdG5154 dayG2250, andG2532 shewedG1096 himG846 openlyG1717+G1325;
NotG3756 to allG3956 the peopleG2992, butG235 unto witnessesG3144 chosen beforeG4401 ofG5259 GodG2316, even to usG2254, whoG3748 did eatG4906 andG2532 drink withG4844 himG846 afterG3326 heG846 roseG450 fromG1537 the deadG3498.
ForG1063 to meG1698 to liveG2198 is ChristG5547, andG2532 to dieG599 is gainG2771.
ButG1161 ifG1487 I liveG2198 inG1722 the fleshG4561, thisG5124 is the fruitG2590 of my labourG2041+G3427: yetG2532 whatG5101 I shall chooseG138 I wotG1107 notG3756.
ForG1063 I am in a straitG4912 betwixtG1537 twoG1417, havingG2192 a desireG1939 toG1519 departG360, andG2532 to beG1511 withG4862 ChristG5547; which is farG4183+G3123 betterG2908:
AgainstG2596 an elderG4245 receiveG3858 notG3361 an accusationG2724, butG1508+G1622 beforeG1909 twoG1417 orG2228 threeG5140 witnessesG3144. {before: or, under}
ForG1063 ye are deadG599, andG2532 yourG5216 lifeG2222 is hidG2928 withG4862 ChristG5547 inG1722 GodG2316.
For thisG5127 causeG5484 left IG2641 theeG4571 inG1722 CreteG2914, thatG2443 thou shouldest set in orderG1930 the things that are wantingG3007, andG2532 ordainG2525 eldersG4245 in everyG2596 cityG4172, asG5613 IG1473 had appointedG1299 theeG4671: {wanting: or, left undone}
WhenG3752 ChristG5547, who is ourG2257 lifeG2222, shall appearG5319, thenG5119 shallG5319 yeG5210 alsoG2532 appearG5319 withG4862 himG846 inG1722 gloryG1391.
HenceforthG3063 there is laid upG606 for meG3427 a crownG4735 of righteousnessG1343, whichG3739 the LordG2962, the righteousG1342 judgeG2923, shall giveG591 meG3427 atG1722 thatG1565 dayG2250: andG1161 notG3756 to meG1698 onlyG3440, butG235 unto all themG3956 alsoG2532 that loveG25 hisG846 appearingG2015.
BelovedG27, nowG3568 are weG2070 the sonsG5043 of GodG2316, andG2532 it dothG5319 not yetG3768 appearG5319 whatG5101 we shall beG2071: butG1161 we knowG1492 thatG3754, whenG1437 he shall appearG5319, we shall beG2071 likeG3664 himG846; forG3754 we shall seeG3700 himG846 asG2531 he isG2076.
IG1473 JohnG2491, whoG3588 alsoG2532 am yourG5216 brotherG80, andG2532 companionG4791 inG1722 tribulationG2347, andG2532 inG1722 the kingdomG932 andG2532 patienceG5281 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547, wasG1096 inG1722 the isleG3520 that is calledG2564 PatmosG3963, forG1223 the wordG3056 of GodG2316, andG2532 forG1223 the testimonyG3141 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
