1. Elders who [are] among you, I exhort, who [am] a fellow-elder, and a witness of the sufferings of the Christ, and of the glory about to be revealed a partaker,
2. feed the flock of God that [is] among you, overseeing not constrainedly, but willingly, neither for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind,
3. neither as exercising lordship over the heritages, but patterns becoming of the flock,
4. and at the manifestation of the chief Shepherd, ye shall receive the unfading crown of glory.
