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。"

2 Tend the flock of God which is among you, exercising the oversight, not of constraint, but willingly, according to the will of God; nor yet for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; 3 neither as lording it over the charge allotted to you, but making yourselves ensamples to the flock. 4 And when the chief Shepherd shall be manifested, ye shall receive the crown of glory that fadeth not away. 5 Likewise, ye younger, be subject unto the elder. Yea, all of you gird yourselves with humility, to serve one another: for God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace to the humble.
