1 Peter 5

Shepherd the Flock of God

1 The elders who are among you I exhort, as a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed; 2 shepherd the flock of God among you, overseeing not by compulsion, but rather willingly, not in fondness for dishonest gain, but rather eagerly; 3 nor as being masters over the flock under your care, but rather being examples to the flock.
