2 Be shepherds of God's flock that is among you, watching over it, not because you must but because you want to, and not greedily but eagerly, as God desires.

3 Do not lord it over the people entrusted to you, but be examples to the flock.

4 Then, when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the victor's crown of glory that will never fade away.

5 In a similar way, you young people must be submissive to the elders. All of you must put on the apron of humility before one another, because "God opposes the arrogant,but gives grace to the humble."
