Shepherd the Flock of God

5 ^(A)Therefore, I exhort the elders among you, as your ^(B)fellow elder and ^(C)witness of the sufferings of Christ, and a ^(D)partaker also of the glory that is to be revealed, ² shepherd ^(E)the flock of God among you, overseeing ^(F)not under compulsion, but willingly, according to God; and ^(G)not for dishonest gain, but with eagerness; ³ nor yet as ^(H)lording it over ^[a]those allotted to you, but being ^(I)examples to the flock. ⁴ And when the Chief ^(J)Shepherd appears, you will receive the ^(K)unfading ^[b](L)crown of glory. ^5 (M)You younger men, likewise, ^(N)be subject to your elders. And all of you, clothe yourselves with ^(O)humility toward one another, for ^(P)God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble.
