2 *John 21:16; Acts 20:28Shepherd the flock of God which is among you, serving as overseers, *1 Cor. 9:17not by compulsion but willingly, *1 Tim. 3:3not for dishonest gain but eagerly; 3 nor as *Ezek. 34:4; Matt. 20:25being lords over *Ps. 33:12those entrusted to you, but *John 13:15; Phil. 3:17; 1 Thess. 1:7; 2 Thess. 3:9; 1 Tim. 4:12; Titus 2:7being examples to the flock; 4 and when *Is. 40:11; Zech. 13:7; Heb. 13:20; 1 Pet. 2:25the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive *2 Tim. 4:8the crown of glory that does not fade away.

Submit to God, Resist the Devil

5 Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, *Rom. 12:10; Eph. 5:21all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for

*Prov. 3:34; James 4:6"God resists the proud,

But *Is. 57:15gives grace to the humble."
