2 Be shepherds of God's flock which is among you. Exercise the oversight not reluctantly but eagerly, in accordance with the will of God; not for base gain but with cheerful minds;3 not lording it over your Churches but proving yourselves patterns for the flock to imitate.4 And then, when the chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the never-withering wreath of glory.5 In the same way you younger men must submit to your elders; and all of you must gird yourselves with humility towards one another, for God sets Himself against the proud, but gives grace to the humble.
