1Yo, I’m vibing with the elders here, 'cause I’m one too, and I’ve seen the struggles of Christ, plus I’m ready for that glory drop.

2Take care of God’s crew you’re with, not 'cause you have to, but 'cause you want to; not for cash, but with a good heart, fr.

3Don’t act like you’re the boss over God’s peeps, just be a role model for the squad.

4When the main Shepherd shows up, you’re getting a crown of glory that won’t fade, periodt.

5And yo, younger folks, show respect to the elders. Everyone needs to vibe together and keep it humble; God’s not down with the proud but gives mad grace to the humble.

6So, stay humble under God’s strong hand, and He’ll lift you up when the time's right.

7Throw all your worries on Him; He’s got your back, no cap.

8Stay alert and focused; your enemy, the devil, is prowling around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to snack on.

9Stand strong in your faith, knowing that your crew is going through the same struggles out there.

10But the God of all grace, who called us to His forever glory through Christ Jesus, after you’ve been through it, will perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.

11All glory and power to Him forever and ever. Amen.

12Shoutout to Silvanus, my faithful bro, who’s keeping it real with you; I’ve dropped this short note to hype you up and testify that this is the real deal grace of God you’re standing in.

13The church in Babylon, chosen with you, sends their love; and so does my dude Marcus.

14Show love to each other with a friendly kiss. Peace to everyone in Christ Jesus. Amen.

1The 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:

2Feed 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;

3Neither as being lords over God’s heritage, but being ensamples to the flock.

4And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.

5Likewise, 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.

6Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:

7Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

8Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

9Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.

10But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.

11To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

12By Silvanus, a faithful brother unto you, as I suppose, I have written briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God wherein ye stand.

13The church that is at Babylon, elected together with you, saluteth you; and so doth Marcus my son.

14Greet ye one another with a kiss of charity. Peace be with you all that are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
