5:1 So as your fellow elder and a witness of Christ’s sufferings and as one who shares in the glory that will be revealed, I urge the elders among you: 5:2 Give a shepherd’s care to ¹  God’s flock among you, exercising oversight ²  not merely as a duty ³  but willingly under God’s direction, ⁴  not for shameful profit but eagerly. 5:3 And do not lord it over ⁵  those entrusted to you, ⁶  but be examples to the flock. 5:4 Then ⁷  when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that never fades away.

5:5 In the same way, you who are younger, ⁸  be subject to the elders. And all of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. ⁹  5:6 And God will exalt you in due time, ¹⁰  if you humble yourselves under his mighty hand ¹¹
