1 Peter 5:2 in context

  1. 1The elders therefore among you I exhort, who am a fellow-elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, who am also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:
  2. 2Tend the flock of God which is among you, exercising the oversight, not of constraint, but willingly, according to the will of God; nor yet for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;
  3. 3neither as lording it over the charge allotted to you, but making yourselves ensamples to the flock.
