1 Peter 5:2-5

English Standard Version

^2 (A)shepherd the flock of God that is among you, exercising oversight,^{[a] (B)}not under compulsion, but willingly, as God would have you;^{[b] (C)}not for shameful gain, but eagerly; ³ not ^(D)domineering over those in your charge, but ^(E)being examples to the flock. ⁴ And when ^(F)the chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the ^(G)unfading ^(H)crown of glory. ⁵ Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. ^(I)Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for ^(J)“God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”
