1 Peter 5:1-5

1 Peter 5:1-5 CSB

I exhort the elders among you as a fellow elder and witness  to the sufferings of Christ, as well as one who shares in the glory about to be revealed:  Shepherd God’s flock among you,  not overseeing  out of compulsion but willingly, as God would have you;  not out of greed for money but eagerly; not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock. And when the chief Shepherd  appears, you will receive the unfading crown  of glory. In the same way, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. All of you clothe yourselves with  humility toward one another, because God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble.
