2 Shepherd the beloved flock of God, which is among you,not by compulsion, but by choice, nor yet for base gain, but of a ready mind,

3 Nor yet as lording it over the allotted portions, but becoming, ensamples, to the beloved flock;

4 And, when the Chief Shepherd is manifested, ye shall bear away, the unfading crown of glory.

5 In like manner, ye younger mensubmit yourselves unto elders;All, however, one towards another, gird on humility; because, God, against the haughty, arrayeth himself, whereas, unto the lowly, he giveth favour.
