1 Peter 5:1-4 ▼

1 So I exhort the presbyters among you, as a fellow presbyter and witness to the sufferings of Christ and one who has a share in the glory to be revealed.

2 Tend the flock of God in your midst, [overseeing] not by constraint but willingly, as God would have it, not for shameful profit but eagerly.

3 Do not lord it over those assigned to you, but be examples to the flock.

4 And when the chief Shepherd is revealed, you will receive the unfading crown of glory.
