1 ¶ The eldersº which² are amongº youº I exhort,ºª who¹ am also an elder,º andº a witnessº of the² sufferingsº of Christ,º and² also¹ a partakerº of the gloryº that shallºª be revealed:ºª 2 Feedºª the² flockº of Godº which is amongº you,º taking the oversightºª [thereof], notº by constraint,º butº willingly;º notº for filthy lucre,º butº of a ready mind;º 3 Neitherº asº being lords overºª [God's] heritage,º butº beingºª ensamplesº to the² flock.º 4 Andº when the² chief Shepherdº shall appear,ºª ye shall receiveºª a crownº of gloryº that fadeth not away.º
