1 Ruego a los ancianos entre ustedes, yo, anciano también con ellos y testigo de los padecimientos de Cristo, que también soy participante de [la] gloria que será manifestada: 2 Apacienten la grey de Dios que está entre ustedes, no por obligación, sino de buena voluntad según Dios, no con avaricia de ganancia material, sino voluntariamente, 3 no como el que tiene señorío sobre las heredades, sino como ejemplos del rebaño. 4 Cuando se manifieste el Supremo Pastor, recibirán la corona incorruptible de gloria. 5 Igualmente los varones jóvenes, sométanse a [los ]ancianos, y todos unos a otros, vístanse de humildad, porque: Dios resiste a [los ]arrogantes y da gracia a [los ]humildes. 6 Por tanto, humíllense bajo la poderosa mano de Dios para que los exalte cuando sea tiempo. 7 Echen toda su ansiedad sobre Él, porque Él tiene cuidado de ustedes. 8 Sean sobrios y velen. Su enemigo [el] diablo anda alrededor como león que ruge y busca a quien devorar, 9 al cual resistan firmes en la fe, pues saben que los mismos padecimientos están sobre su hermandad en [el] mundo. 10 El Dios de toda gracia, Quien los llamó a su gloria eterna en Cristo, después que padezcan un poco, Él mismo [los] perfeccionará, confirmará, fortalecerá y establecerá. 11 A Él sea la soberanía por los siglos. Amén. 12 Por medio de Silvano, el fiel hermano, como lo considero, les escribí con pocas [palabras] para exhortar y testificar que ésta es la verdadera gracia de Dios, en la cual estén firmes. 13 Los saluda la [iglesia] que está en Babilonia, elegida juntamente con ustedes, y Marcos mi hijo. 14 Salúdense los unos a los otros con beso de amor. Paz a todos ustedes, los que están en Cristo.

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 …
