2 I beg you to shepherd the flock of God that is among you, not because you must, but willingly, not for base gain, but eagerly,

3 not lording it over your charges, but becoming examples to the flock.

4 Then when the chief Shepherd appears you will be repaid with the never-fading crown of glory.

5 In the same way you younger men must be subject to your elders. You all must put on the apron of humble service for one another. For God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.
