^2 (A)Shepherd the flock of God which is among you, serving as overseers, ^(B)not by compulsion but ^[a]willingly, ^(C)not for dishonest gain but eagerly; ³ nor as ^(D)being ^[b]lords over ^(E)those entrusted to you, but ^(F)being examples to the flock; ⁴ and when ^(G)the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive ^(H)the crown of glory that does not fade away.

^25 (A)And He said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them, and those who exercise authority over them are called ‘benefactors.’ ^26 (B)But not so among you; on the contrary, ^(C)he who is greatest among you, let him be as the younger, and he who governs as he who serves.
