Shepherd the Flock
1 The elders who are among you I exhort, I who am a fellow elder and a awitness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the bglory that will be revealed:
2 aShepherd the flock of God which is among you, serving as overseers, bnot by compulsion but willingly, cnot for dishonest gain but eagerly;
3 nor as abeing lords over bthose entrusted to you, but cbeing examples to the flock;
4 and when athe Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive bthe crown of glory that does not fade away.
Submit to God, Resist the Devil
5 Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, aall of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for
b“God resists the proud,
But cgives grace to the humble.”
b“God resists the proud,
But cgives grace to the humble.”
6 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time,
7 casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.
