- The elders 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:
- 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;
- Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples to the flock.
- And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.
- 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.

- 我这作长老,作基督受苦的见证,同享后来所要显现之荣耀的,劝你们中间与我同作长老的人。
- 务要牧养在你们中间神的群羊,按着神旨意照管他们。不是出于勉强,乃是出于甘心。也不是因为贪财,乃是出于乐意。
- 也不是辖制所托付你们的,乃是作群羊的榜样。
- 到了牧长显现的时候,你们必得那永不衰残的荣耀冠冕。
- 你们年幼的,也要顺服年长的。就是你们众人,也都要以谦卑束腰,彼此顺服。因为神阻挡骄傲的人,赐恩给谦卑的人。
