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 shepherd the flock of God which {is} among you, exercising oversight, not by necessity, but willingly; not for base gain, but readily;

3 not as lording it over your possessions, but being models for the flock.

4 And when the chief shepherd is manifested ye shall receive the unfading crown of glory.

5 Likewise {ye} younger, be subject to {the} elder, and all of you bind on humility towards one another; for God sets himself against {the} proud, but to {the} humble gives grace.
