2 do you feed the among you flock of the God, overseeing not by constraint, but voluntarily; nor for base gain, but promptly;

3 nor as being lords of the heritages, but patterns being of the flock;

4 and having been manifested of the chief shepherd, you will obtain the unfading of the glory crown.

5 In like manner younger ones be you subject to seniors; all but to each other being subject, the humility be you clothed with; because the God to haughty ones is in opposition, to lowly ones but he gives favor.
