1 The elders that are among you I exhort, who am a fellow-elder, and a witness of the sufferings of the Christ, and a sharer in the glory that is to be revealed. 2 Act as shepherds to the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight, not by compulsion, but willingly; not for the sake of sordid gain, but from readiness of mind: 3 neither as being lords over God's possessions, but being examples to the flock. 4 And when the chief shepherd shall appear, you shall receive the crown of glory that fades not away. 1 Peter 5:1-4, Anderson New Testament.
