1I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and who will also share in the glory that will be revealed.
2Tend the flock of God which is among you, exercising the oversight, not under compulsion, but voluntarily, not for dishonest gain, but willingly;
3neither as lording it over the charge allotted to you, but making yourselves examples to the flock.
4When the chief Shepherd will be revealed, you will receive the crown of glory that doesn`t fade away.
5Likewise, you younger ones, be subject to the elder. Yes, all of you gird yourselves with humility, to subject yourselves to one another; for "God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble."
6Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time;
7casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you.
