King James Version
"Neither as being lords over God’s heritage, but being ensamples to the flock."
— 1 Peter 5:3, King James Version
“neither as lording it over the charge allotted to you, but making yourselves ensamples to the flock. ”
“neither as lording it over those entrusted to you, but making yourselves examples to the flock.”
“And do not lord it over those entrusted to you, but be examples to the flock.”
“Neither as lording it over the clergy but being made a pattern of the flock from the heart.”
“Not as lords over God's heritage, but making yourselves examples to the flock.”
“Neither as being lords over God’s heritage, but being ensamples to the flock.”
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:
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;
Neither as being lords over God’s heritage, but being ensamples to the flock.
And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.
Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
