1 Peter 5:1-5

So I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of

Christ, as well as a partaker in the glory that is going to be revealed: 2 shepherd the

flock of God that is among you, exercising oversight, not under compulsion, but will-

ingly, as God would have you; not for shameful gain, but eagerly; 3 not domineering

over those in your charge, but being examples to the flock. 4 And when the chief Shep-

herd appears, you will receive the unfading crown of glory. 5 Likewise, you who are

younger, be subject to the elders. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward

one another, for “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”
