2 Shepherd the flock of God in your care. Exercise the oversight, not of constraint, but willingly, according to the will of God. Do not do it for dishonest gain, but eagerly.

3 Do not lord it over your charge, but make yourselves examples to the flock.

4 When the chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that does not fade away.

5 Likewise, you younger men, be subject to the older men. Yes, all of you clothe yourselves with humility and serve one another. God resists the proud, but gives loving kindness to the humble.
