1 Peter 5:1-4

1 Peter 5:1-4 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.
