Advice to Presbyters, The First Letter of Peter

Advice to Presbyters.

Tend the flock of God in your midst, [overseeing] not by constraint but willingly, as God would have it, not for shameful profit but eagerly. Do not lord it over those assigned to you, but be examples to the flock. And when the chief Shepherd is revealed, you will receive the unfading crown of glory.

+ 1 Peter 5,2-4
