1 Peter 5:1-4 Devotionals, Articles & Bible Study

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