NET Bible
"And do not lord it over those entrusted to you, but be examples to the flock."
— 1 Peter 5:3, NET Bible
“Neither as being lords over God’s heritage, but being ensamples to the flock.”
“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.”
“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.”
Leading and Living in God’s Flock So as your fellow elder and a witness of Christ’s sufferings and as one who shares in the glory that will be revealed, I urge the elders among you:
Give a shepherd’s care to God’s flock among you, exercising oversight not merely as a duty but willingly under God’s direction, not for shameful profit but eagerly.
And do not lord it over those entrusted to you, but be examples to the flock.
Then when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that never fades away.
In the same way, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. And all of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.
And God will exalt you in due time, if you humble yourselves under his mighty hand
