1 Peter 5:3 Context
1The Elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an Elder, and a witnesse of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be reuealed. 2Feede the flocke of God which is among you, taking the ouersight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly: not for filthy lucre, but of a ready minde: 3Neither as being lords ouer Gods heritage: but being ensamples to the flocke. 4And when the chiefe shepheard shall appeare, ye shall receiue a crowne of glory that fadeth not away. 5Likewise ye yonger, submit your selues vnto the elder: yea, all of you bee subiect one to another, and bee clothed with humilitie: for God resisteth the proud, and giueth grace to the humble.
