WNT

NIV

1 So I exhort the Elders among you--I who am their fellow Elder and have been an eye-witness of the sufferings of the Christ, and am also a sharer in the glory which is soon to be revealed.
1 To the elders among you, I appeal as a fellow elder and a witness of Christ’s sufferings who also will share in the glory to be revealed:
2 Be shepherds of God's flock which is among you. Exercise the oversight not reluctantly but eagerly, in accordance with the will of God; not for base gain but with cheerful minds;
2 Be shepherds of God’s flock that is under your care, watching over them—not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not pursuing dishonest gain, but eager to serve;
3 not lording it over your Churches but proving yourselves patterns for the flock to imitate.
3 not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock.
4 And then, when the chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the never-withering wreath of glory.
4 And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away.
