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.

2 hoidke teile hoida antud Jumala karja mitte sundusest, vaid vabast tahtest Jumala meele järgi, mitte alatu kasu tõttu, vaid innust,

3 mitte isandaina valitsedes kogudusi kui liisuosi, vaid olles karjale eeskujuks;

4 siis te saate, kui Ülimkarjane ilmub, närtsimatu aupärja!

5 Samuti teie, nooremad, alistuge vanemaile ja riietuge kõik alandlikkusega üksteise vastu; sest „Jumal paneb suurelistele vastu, aga alandlikele Ta annab armu!"
