1 I [Peter] am older than you, 😇. I saw our Messiah suffering with my own eyes. [I heard Yahshua groan as soldiers and religionists beat and tortured Him to death]. I share in the glory that [YAH] will reveal [to all the universe]. I call you mature [believers to live like the Good Shepherd]:
2[Members of] the flock of [YHVH] the Eloah live among you, 😇. Feed [them]. Take [loving] oversight of them. Not because you have to, but willingly. Not to gain filthy money, but with enthusiasm.
3 😇, supervise [other Christians]. But not as a Lord domineering over [Elohim's] inheritance. Lead by living as an example to the “flock.” Be a "servant-leader."
4[Lead in love.] Then, when [Yahshua] the Chief Shepherd [visibly] appears, [he'll give] you, 😇, a crown of glory that can never fade away.
Humbly Submit To Each Other & YAH Will Lift U
5Likewise, you younger [believers], submit yourselves to the older [believers]. All of you, be submissive to one another. Clothe your [naked human aggression and selfishness] with humility. For YHVH opposes [all] arrogant [beings], while [he] gives [his unmerited favor] to [all] humble [beings]. (Proverbs 3:34)
6So humble yourselves under the mighty hand of [YHVH] the Eloah. Then, in due time, He exalts you.
Cast All Your Cares On YAH: He Cares For You
7* 😇, cast all your cares upon [YHVH The Eloah]. [He] cares for you. Pray your worries away.
Be Sober & Awake: Resist The Prowling Devil
8*Be sober, 😇! Stay vigilant! Your adversary the devil prowls around [the world] like a roaring lion, seeking a [victim] he can devour.
9 😇, resist the devil. Stand strong in the faith. Remember that your brothers all over the world are passing the same [torturous test of] suffering you're taking. Resist The Devil Song.
10YHVH the Eloah, the [source] of all grace, calls us [believers] to [live forever in] His eternal glory [as a part of the political ‘Body’ of]Yahshua the Messiah. YHVH will establish, strengthen, restore, and perfect you, 😇. But first you have to suffer for a while.
Peter Sends Goodbye Blessings To You
11[The host of heaven give]YHVH glory and dominion for ever and ever. [Nothing can change] that! (Amén.)
12 With the help of Silas {Woodsman} (whom I cherish as a faithful brother) I've written you this short letter, to encourage you, 😇, and to give witness about the true gracious-favor of [YHVH] the Eloah. Stand firm in it.
13 Your fellow chosen Ekklesia at ‘Babylon’ salutes you, 😇; and so does Mark, my “son” [in the faith].
14 Greet one another with a kiss of charity, 😇. [I pray that YAH's] peace stays firmly with all of you [believers] who [live as members of the political Body of]Yahshua, [YAH's] Messiah. Kiss of love = nonsexual, non lip-contact. [And that's the way] it is! (Amén.)
