رسالۀ اول پِترُس رسول

فصل پنجم

توجه رهبران کلیسا به اعضای آن

۱من که یک رهبر کلیسا هستم و شاهد زحمات مسیح بودم و در آن جلالی که قرار است بزودی ظاهر شود، شریک و سهیم خواهم بود، از شما رهبران کلیسا تقاضا می کنم: ۲از گله ای که خدا به شما سپرده است، چوپانی و مراقبت کنید و کاری که انجام می دهید از روی اجبار و زور نباشد، بلکه چنانکه خدا می خواهد آن را از روی علاقه و رغبت انجام دهید، نه به منظور فایدۀ شخصی بلکه با حُسن نیت و علاقه. ۳کوشش نکنید بر آنانی که به دست شما سپرده شده اند خداوندی نمائید، بلکه برای آن گله نمونه باشید. ۴و شما در وقتی که چوپان بزرگ ظاهر می  شود، تاج پُر جلالی را خواهید ربود که هرگز پژمرده نمی شود.

۵به همین طریق شما که جوانتر هستید، باید مُطیع رهبران کلیسا باشید و همۀ شما قدیفۀ فروتنی را به کمر بسته، یکدیگر را خدمت کنید زیرا خدا مخالف متکبران است، اما به فروتنان فیض می بخشد. ۶پس در مقابل قدرت خدا فروتن باشید تا او شما را در وقت مناسب سرافراز نماید. ۷بار تمام تشویش خود را به دوش او بگذارید، زیرا او همیشه در فکر شماست.

۸هوشیار و متوجه باشید؛ زیرا دشمن شما ابلیس، چون شیری غُران به هر سو می گردد و در جستجوی کسی است که او را ببلعد. ۹با قدرت ایمان در مقابل او بایستید، زیرا می دانید که برادران شما در تمام دنیا به همین زحمات دچار شده اند. ۱۰اما، پس از اینکه اندک زمانی رنج و زحمت دیدید، خدا که بخشندۀ تمام برکات روحانی است و شما را در مسیح دعوت کرده است که در جلال ابدی او شریک شوید، شما را کامل و ثابت قدم و قوی و استوار خواهد ساخت. ۱۱قدرت تا به ابد از آنِ اوست، آمین.

خاتمه

۱۲این رسالۀ مختصر را با کمک «سیلوانُس» که او را یک برادر وفادار می  دانم، نوشته ام تا شما را تشویق کنم و به آن فیض راستین خدا که در آن استوار هستید، شهادت بدهم.

۱۳کلیسای شهر بابل که مثل شما برگزیدۀ خداست، به شما سلام می رساند و همچنین پسر من «مرقُس» سلام می رساند. ۱۴یکدیگر را با بوسۀ محبت آمیز سلام گوئید. صلح و سلامتی با همۀ شما که با مسیح متحد هستید باد.

What Do Christians Believe About Omens and Magic? (With You)
Sorcerers and those who consult them are both guilty. Both groups commit sin. Since the customs and rituals of witchcraft and summoning spirits are actually a way of partnering with demons who are enemies of God, it is not surprising that the Holy Bible constantly condemns such practises. In general, the purpose of all such actions is to invite the influence of demons. All magic, witchcraft, and rituals related to satanic rites are from the devil, and those who get involved in these practises have actually joined the forces of the devil. Such people are not just ordinary unbelievers, but have openly and actively become enemies of God.

How to Know Your Enemy

How to Know Your Enemy (Peace and Joy in Christ)
The word of God says: Be alert and awake like a soldier who is ready to fight. Satan tries to lead us to sin and disobedience in order to destroy us in this way; swallow The purpose of his destruction that he wants is to distance us from God and the believers. He wants to kill doubts and temptations in our minds. There is no need for us to have a low self-esteem and think that we are weak, of course we are weak! But God and the Holy Spirit are higher and stronger than the evil spirit. Let's try to know who is our enemy today? Do we know the tactics of the enemy?

Hope in Despair

Hope in Despair (With You)
Despair brings with it sadness and depression. It is said that human beings last a maximum of 40 days without food, 4 days without water and 4 minutes without air, while without any hope we do not even last 4 seconds. Hope keeps us alive. Let us not be upset because of problems and difficulties. Rather, let us give all our concerns to God. If we leave our thoughts and worries to God, we may not be delivered from hardship, but we will certainly be free from sorrow and worries. We need to give all our cares to God.
