1 Peter 5:1-4 THE elders among you I beg — I who am a fellow elder and a witness to the sufferings of Christ and a sharer in the glory soon to be revealed

Riverside⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ THE elders among you I beg — I who am a fellow elder and a witness to the sufferings of Christ and a sharer in the glory soon to be revealed — ² I beg you to shepherd the flock of God that is among you, not because you must, but willingly, not for base gain, but eagerly, ³ not lording it over your charges, but becoming examples to the flock. ⁴ Then when the chief Shepherd appears you will be repaid with the never-fading crown of glory.
