2 Feed the flock of God, which is with you; exercising the overseer's office, not by constraint, but willingly; neither for the sake of sordid gain, but from good disposition;

3 neither as lording it over the heritage of God, but, being patterns to the flock:

4 and when the Chief Shepherd shall appear, you shall receive the crown of glory which fades not away.

5 For the like reason, you younger persons subject yourselves to the seniors. Yes, all be subject to one another, and be clothed with humility, for God resists the proud but gives favor to the humble.
