About the Elders

5 I exhort the elders among you as a fellow elder and witness^(A) to the sufferings of Christ, as well as one who shares in the glory about to be revealed:^(B)

⁴ And when the chief Shepherd^(A) appears, you will receive the unfading crown^(B) of glory.

¹⁸ But grow in the grace and knowledge^(A) of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity.^[a](B)
