Instructions to Elders
(1 Timothy 3:1–7, Titus 1:5–9)
5 As a fellow elder, a witness of Christ’s sufferings, and a partaker of the glory to be revealed, I appeal to the elders [fn] among you: 2 Be shepherds of God’s flock that is among you, watching over them [fn] not out of compulsion, but because it is God’s will;[fn] not out of greed, but out of eagerness; 3 not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock. 4 And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away.
