Exhortation to the Elders

1 Peter 5:1-4

Therefore, I urge the congregation leaders among you, as a fellow-leader and witness to the Messiah’s sufferings, as well as a sharer in the glory to be revealed:

shepherd the flock of God that is in your care, exercising oversight not out of constraint, but willingly, as God wants; and not out of a desire for dishonest gain, but with enthusiasm;

also not as machers domineering over those in your care, but as people who become examples to the flock.

Then, when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive glory as your unfading crown.
