1 Peter 5:1-4

Shepherd the Flock of God

^aTherefore, I exhort the elders among you, as your ^bfellow elder and ^cwitness of the sufferings of Christ, and a ^dpartaker also of the glory that is to be revealed, 2 shepherd ^athe flock of God among you, overseeing ^bnot under compulsion, but willingly, according to God; and ^cnot for dishonest gain, but with eagerness; 3 nor yet as ^alording it over ¹those allotted to you, but being ^bexamples to the flock. 4 And when the Chief ^aShepherd appears, you will receive the ^bunfading ¹^ccrown of glory.
