2 Keep watch over the flock of God which is in your care, using your authority, not as forced to do so, but gladly; and not for unclean profit but with a ready mind;

3 Not as lords over God's heritage, but making yourselves examples to the flock.

4 And at the coming of the chief Keeper of the sheep, you will be given the eternal crown of glory.

5 And in the same way, let the younger men be ruled by the older ones. Let all of you put away pride and make yourselves ready to be servants: for God is a hater of pride, but he gives grace to those who make themselves low.

2 务要牧养你们中间的羊群， 按着 神的旨意照顾他们。不是出于勉强， 而是出于甘心； 不是因为贪财， 而是出于热诚；

3 也不是要辖制托付你们的羊群， 而是作他们的榜样。

4 到了牧长显现的时候， 你们必定得着那永不衰残的荣耀冠冕。

5 照样， 你们青年人要顺服年长的。就是你们各人也要彼此以谦卑为装束， 因为" 神敌挡骄傲的人， 赐恩给谦卑的人。"
