1 The elders who are among you I exhort (I am also an elder with them and a witness of the afflictions of the Christ, and also a participant of the glory that shall be revealed).
2 Feed the flock of God which is among you, caring for her, not by force, but willingly; not for shameful lucre, but with willing desire;
3 and not as having lordship over the heritage of the Lord, but in such a manner as to be examples of the flock.
4 And when the great Prince of the pastors shall appear, ye shall receive the incorruptible crown of glory.
