To Elders and Young Men

1 To the elders among you, I appeal as a fellow elder,¹ a witness² of Christ's sufferings and one who also will share in the glory to be revealed:³ 2 Be shepherds of God's flock⁴ that is under your care, serving as overseers--not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be;⁵ not greedy for money,⁶ but eager to serve; 3 not lording it over⁷ those entrusted to you, but being examples⁸ to the flock. 4 And when the Chief Shepherd⁹ appears, you will receive the crown of glory¹⁰ that will never fade away.¹¹
