Compare with Version:

2 Peter

¹ The elders who are among you I exhort, I who am a fellow elder and a [1†]witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the [2†]glory that will be revealed:

² [3†]Shepherd the flock of God which is among you, serving as overseers, [4†]not by compulsion but willingly, [5†]not for dishonest gain but eagerly;

³ nor as [6†]being lords over [7†]those entrusted to you, but [8†]being examples to the flock;

⁴ and when [9†]the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive [10†]the crown of glory that does not fade away.

⁵ Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, [11†]all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for [12†]“God resists the proud, But [13†]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.

⁸ Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.

⁹ Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world.

¹⁰ But may the God of all grace, [14†]who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.

¹¹ [15†]To Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

¹² By [16†]Silvanus, our faithful brother as I consider him, I have written to you briefly, exhorting and testifying [17†]that this is the true grace of God in which you stand.

¹³ She who is in Babylon, elect together with you, greets you; and so does [18†]Mark my son.

¹⁴ Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace to you all who are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
