1Knowing the times we live in , I speak with strong words to the elders among you who serve as spiritual leaders. I am a fellow elder who saw the sufferings of the Chosen One with my own eyes and who will share in the beauty of his shining-greatness that will be revealed.
2I counsel you to watch over Creator’s family like a shepherd watching over a flock of sheep. Do this willingly, as Creator wants you to, not to gain more possessions but from an honest desire to serve.
3Do not use your authority to boss people around. Instead, show them the way by doing first what you are asking of them.
4Then, when the Chief Shepherd appears, he will honor you with a headdress of many feathers that will never lose its beauty.
5In the same way, those who are young should listen to their elders. All of you must wear the regalia of humility as you walk together. “The Great Spirit stands against the proud and arrogant, but he shows great kindness to the humble of heart.”[#5:5 Proverbs 3:34]
6So humble yourselves under Creator’s powerful hand, and when the time is right he will highly honor you.
7The Great Spirit cares deeply about you, so gather all your worries into a blanket and throw them on his shoulders. He will carry them for you.
8Stay alert and remain calm, for your opponent, the evil trickster, prowls about, roaring like a mountain lion, looking for someone to devour.[#5:8 The devil]
9Take your stand against him, firm in your trust, knowing that all over the world other sacred family members are suffering in the same way.
10But you will not have to suffer for long, for the Great Spirit who gives us his gift of great kindness will restore you, set your feet on solid ground, and strengthen you. For he has called you into the bright-shining greatness of the Chosen One that will never fade away.
11All power belongs to him to the time beyond all days. Aho! May it be so!
12I have written this short letter to you by the hand of Forest Walker (Silvanus) . He is a spiritual brother whom I count as trustworthy. With a few strong words, I have told you the truth about the gift of Creator’s great kindness. So stand firm in this truth!
13The sacred family who gathers in Village of Confusion (Babylon) and who were chosen in the same way you were sends greetings to you. Also War Club (Mark) , who is a son to me, sends his greetings.[#5:13 Lit. She]
14Greet each other in a loving way with a holy kiss. Peace be upon all of you who belong to the Chosen One.
