New American Standard Bible
Chapter 5
1
Therefore, I urge elders among you, as
your
fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ,
and
one who is also a fellow partaker of the glory that is to be revealed:
2
shepherd the flock of God among you, exercising oversight, not under compulsion but voluntarily, according to
the will of
God; and not with greed but with eagerness;
3
nor yet as domineering over those assigned to your care, but by proving to be examples to the flock.
4
And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the unfading crown of glory.
King James Version
Chapter 5
1
The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:
2
Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;
3
Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples to the flock.
4
And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 5
1
I exhort the elders among you as a fellow elder and witness to the sufferings of Christ, as well as one who shares in the glory about to be revealed:
2
Shepherd God’s flock among you, not overseeing out of compulsion but willingly, as God would have you; not out of greed for money but eagerly;
3
not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock.
4
And when the chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the unfading crown of glory.
New Living Translation
Chapter 5
1
And now, a word to you who are elders in the churches. I, too, am an elder and a witness to the sufferings of Christ. And I, too, will share in his glory when he is revealed to the whole world. As a fellow elder, I appeal to you:
2
Care for the flock that God has entrusted to you. Watch over it willingly, not grudgingly — not for what you will get out of it, but because you are eager to serve God.
3
Don’t lord it over the people assigned to your care, but lead them by your own good example.
4
And when the Great Shepherd appears, you will receive a crown of never-ending glory and honor.
English Standard Version
Chapter 5
1
So I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, as well as a partaker in the glory that is going to be revealed:
2
shepherd the flock of God that is among you, exercising oversight, not under compulsion, but willingly, as God would have you; not for shameful gain, but eagerly;
3
not domineering over those in your charge, but being examples to the flock.
4
And when the chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the unfading crown of glory.
New International Version
Chapter 5
1
To the elders among you, I appeal as a fellow elder and a witness of Christ’s sufferings who also will share in the glory to be revealed:
2
Be shepherds of God’s flock that is under your care, watching over them—not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not pursuing dishonest gain, but eager to serve;
3
not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock.
4
And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away.
New King James Version
Chapter 5
1
The elders who are among you I exhort, I who am a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that will be revealed:
2
Shepherd the flock of God which is among you, serving as overseers, not by compulsion but willingly, not for dishonest gain but eagerly;
3
nor as being lords over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock;
4
and when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that does not fade away.
