1 Peter 5:1-4

1 1Therefore, I urge elders among you, as your 2fellow elder and a 3witness of the sufferings of Christ, and one who is also a 4 5fellow partaker of the glory that is to be revealed:

2shepherd 6the flock of God among you, exercising oversight, 7not under compulsion but voluntarily, according to the will of God; and 8not 9with greed but with eagerness;

3nor yet as 10domineering over 11those assigned to your care, but by 12proving to be 13 14examples to the flock.

4And when the Chief 15Shepherd appears, you will receive the 16unfading 17 18crown of glory.
