2 shepherd the flock of God that is under your care, serving as overseersnot under compulsion, but voluntarily, according to the will of God; and not for sordid gain, but with eagerness;

3 not as lording it over those in your charge, but being examples to the flock.

4 And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the unfading crown of glory.

5 Likewise you that are younger men be subject to the elders. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for »God opposes the proud,but gives grace to the humble.«
