1 Peter 5:1-4
A 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:
B 2 Shepherd the flock of God which is among you, serving as overseers,
C not by compulsion but willingly, not for dishonest gain but eagerly; 3nor as being lords over those entrusted to you,
B’ but being examples to the flock;
A’ 4 and when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that does not fade away.
A: Christ, the Standard for Leadership: His Suffering, and Glory
B: Elders, Shepherd the Flock
C: The 3 “Not’s.” No Compulsion, No Dishonest Gain, No Lording Over
B’: Elders, Be Examples to the Flock
A’: Christ, the Standard for Leadership: His Appearing, and Glory
