1 Peter 5:1-4 ▼

1 Therefore, I exhort the elders among you, as your fellow elder and witness of the sufferings of Christ, and a partaker also of the glory that is to be revealed,

2 shepherd the flock of God among you, overseeing not under compulsion, but willingly, according to God; and not for dishonest gain, but with eagerness;

3 nor yet as lording it over those allotted to you, but being examples to the flock.

4 And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the unfading crown of glory.
