1 Peter 5:1-5
1 Peter 5:1
Therefore, I urge elders among you, as your fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and one who is also a fellow partaker of the glory that is to be revealed:
1 Peter 5:2
shepherd the flock of God among you, exercising oversight, not under compulsion but voluntarily, according to the will of God; and not with greed but with eagerness;
1 Peter 5:3
nor yet as domineering over those assigned to your care, but by proving to be examples to the flock.
1 Peter 5:4
And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the unfading crown of glory.
1 Peter 5:5
You younger men, likewise, be subject to your elders; and all of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because God is opposed to the proud, but He gives grace to the humble.
