Notes on this text (1)
- Original 16th-century spelling.
1 The elders which are among you, I beseech which am also an elder, and a witnesse of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shalbe reueiled,
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 Feede the flocke of God, which dependeth vpon you, caring for it not by constraint, but willingly: not for filthy lucre, but of a ready minde:
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 as though ye were lords ouer Gods heritage, but that yee may bee ensamples to the flocke.
3 Y no como teniendo señorío sobre las heredades [del Señor], sino siendo dechados de la grey.
4 And when that chiefe shepheard shall appeare, ye shall receiue an incorruptible crowne of glory.
4 Y cuando apareciere el Príncipe de los pastores, vosotros recibiréis la corona incorruptible de gloria.
5 Likewise ye yonger, submit your selues vnto the elders, and submit your selues euery man, one to another: decke your selues inwardly in lowlinesse of minde: for God resisteth the proude, and giueth grace to the humble.
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 Humble your selues therefore vnder the mightie hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time.
6 Humillaos pues bajo la poderosa mano de Dios, para que él os ensalce cuando fuere tiempo;
7 Cast all your care on him: for he careth for you.
7 Echando toda vuestra solicitud en él, porque él tiene cuidado de vosotros.
8 Be sober, and watch: for your aduersarie the deuil as a roaring lyon walketh about, seeking whom he may deuoure:
8 Sed templados, y velad; porque vuestro adversario el diablo, cual león rugiente, anda alrededor buscando á quien devore:
9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren which are 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 And the God of all grace, which hath called vs vnto his eternall glory by Christ Iesus, after that ye haue suffered a litle, make you perfite, confirme, strengthen and stablish you.
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 for euer and euer, Amen.
11 A él sea gloria é imperio para siempre. Amén.
12 By Syluanus a faithfull brother vnto you, as I suppose, haue I written briefly, exhorting and testifying how that this is the true grace of God, wherein ye stand.
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 that is at Babylon elected together with you, saluteth you, and Marcus my sonne.
13 La [iglesia] que está en Babilonia, juntamente elegida con vosotros, os saluda, y Marcos mi hijo.
14 Greete yee one another with the kisse of loue. Peace be with you all which are in Christ Iesus, 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 …
