About the Elders
Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 5:1 -

I exhort the elders among you as a fellow elder and witness to the sufferings of Christ, as well as one who shares in the glory about to be revealed:

Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 5:2 -

Shepherd God’s flock among you, not overseeing[fn] out of compulsion but willingly, as God would have you;[fn] not out of greed for money but eagerly;

Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 5:3 -

not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock.

Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 5:4 -

And when the chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the unfading crown of glory.

Unchecked Copy Box1Pe 5:5 -

In the same way, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. All of you clothe yourselves with[fn] humility toward one another, because

God resists the proud

but gives grace to the humble.
