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.
