1 Peter 5:1-4 I who am myself one of the rulers of the church, and a witness of the death of Christ, having my part in the coming glory, send this serious request to the chief men among you:

BBE⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ I who am myself one of the rulers of the church, and a witness of the death of Christ, having my part in the coming glory, send this serious request to the chief men among you: ² Keep watch over the flock of God which is in your care, using your authority, not as forced to do so, but gladly; and not for unclean profit but with a ready mind; ³ Not as lords over God's heritage, but making yourselves examples to the flock. ⁴ And at the coming of the chief Keeper of the sheep, you will be given the eternal crown of glory.
