1 Therefore, I beg the elders who are among you, as one who is also an elder and a witness of the Passion of Christ, who also shares in that glory which is to be revealed in the future:
1 RUEGO á los ancianos que están entre vosotros, yo anciano [también] con ellos, y testigo de las aflicciones de Cristo, que soy también participante de la gloria que ha de ser revelada:
2 pasture the flock of God that is among you, providing for it, not as a requirement, but willingly, in accord with God, and not for the sake of tainted profit, but freely,
2 Apacentad la grey de Dios que está entre vosotros, teniendo cuidado [de ella], no por fuerza, sino voluntariamente; no por ganancia deshonesta, sino de un ánimo pronto;
3 not so as to dominate by means of the clerical state, but so as to be formed into a flock from the heart.
3 Y no como teniendo señorío sobre las heredades [del Señor], sino siendo dechados de la grey.
4 And when the Leader of pastors will have appeared, you shall secure an unfading crown of glory.
4 Y cuando apareciere el Príncipe de los pastores, vosotros recibiréis la corona incorruptible de gloria.
5 Similarly, young persons, be subject to the elders. And infuse all humility among one another, for God resists the arrogant, but to the humble he gives grace.
5 Igualmente, mancebos, sed sujetos á los ancianos; y todos sumisos unos á otros, revestíos de humildad; porque Dios resiste á los soberbios, y da gracia á los humildes.
6 And so, be humbled under the powerful hand of God, so that he may exalt you in the time of visitation.
6 Humillaos pues bajo la poderosa mano de Dios, para que él os ensalce cuando fuere tiempo;
7 Cast all your cares upon him, for he takes care of you.
7 Echando toda vuestra solicitud en él, porque él tiene cuidado de vosotros.
8 Be sober and vigilant. For your adversary, the devil, is like a roaring lion, traveling around and seeking those whom he might devour.
8 Sed templados, y velad; porque vuestro adversario el diablo, cual león rugiente, anda alrededor buscando á quien devore:
9 Resist him by being strong in faith, being aware that the same passions afflict those who are your brothers in the world.
9 Al cual resistid firmes en la fe, sabiendo que las mismas aflicciones han de ser cumplidas en la compañía de vuestros hermanos que están en el mundo.
10 But the God of all grace, who has called us to his eternal glory in Christ Jesus, will himself perfect, confirm, and establish us, after a brief time of suffering.
10 Mas el Dios de toda gracia, que nos ha llamado á su gloria eterna por Jesucristo, después que hubiereis un poco de tiempo padecido, él mismo os perfeccione, confirme, corrobore y establezca.
11 To him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
11 A él sea gloria é imperio para siempre. Amén.
12 I have written briefly, through Sylvanus, whom I consider to be a faithful brother to you, begging and testifying that this is the true grace of God, in which you have been established.
12 Por Silvano, el hermano fiel, según yo pienso, os he escrito brevemente, amonestándo[os], y testificando que ésta es la verdadera gracia de Dios, en la cual estáis.
13 The Church which is in Babylon, elect together with you, greets you, as does my son, Mark.
13 La [iglesia] que está en Babilonia, juntamente elegida con vosotros, os saluda, y Marcos mi hijo.
14 Greet one another with a holy kiss. Grace be to all of you who are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
14 Saludaos unos á otros con ósculo de caridad. Paz sea con todos vosotros los que estáis en Jesucristo. Amén.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
"For God," saith [the Scripture], "resisteth the proud, but giveth grace to the humble." Let us cleave, then, to those to whom grace has been given by God.
… man, very skilful in medicine, and much renowned therein, who had with his own proconsular hand put the Agonistic garland upon my distempered head, not, though, as a physician; for this disease Thou alone healest, who resistest the proud, and givest grace to the humble. But didst Thou fail me even by that old man, or forbear from healing my …

… and lest from taking the wolf to be a sheep we become his prey, and from supposing the destroying Devil to be a beneficent Angel we be devoured: for, as the Scripture saith, he goeth about as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.

If a ravening and roaring lion, seeking what he may devour of our souls or of our words; or a wild boar, trampling under foot the precious and translucent pearls of the Truth; or an Arabian and alien wolf, or one keener even than these in tricks of argument; or a fox, that is a treacherous and faithless soul, changing …

For the King and Founder of this city of which we speak, has in Scripture uttered to His people a dictum of the divine law in these words: "God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble." But this, which is God's prerogative, the inflated ambition of a proud spirit also affects, and dearly loves that this be numbered …
