^{1 Ref} Elders who `are' among you, I exhort, who `am' a fellow-elder, and a witness of the sufferings of the Christ, and of the glory about to be revealed a partaker,

^{2 Ref} feed the flock of God that `is' among you, overseeing not constrainedly, but willingly, neither for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind,

^{3 Ref} neither as exercising lordship over the heritages, but patterns becoming of the flock,

^{4 Ref} and at the manifestation of the chief Shepherd, ye shall receive the unfading crown of glory.
