2 Look after God’s flock you have been given to care for, watching over it not because you’re forced to, but gladly, as God wants you to. Do this willingly, not looking to make a profit from it. 3 Don’t be arrogant, lording it over those who have been put in your care, but be an example to the flock.
5 Young people, do what the elders tell you. Indeed all of you should serve one another in humility, because "God is against the proud, but favors the humble."5:5. Quoting Proverbs 3:34. 7 Surrender all your worries to him, because he cares for you. 10 After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace who called you into his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore you, support you, strengthen you, and give you a solid foundation.
