1 Peter 5:2-4

Worldwide English (New Testament)

² Take good care of God's people. They have been given to you to care for. Do this, not because you must do it, but because you want to please God. Do it not for the money that you get for doing it, but because you are glad to do it.

³ Do not be like a boss over the people you care for, telling them how to live. But show them how to live by the way you live.

⁴ Christ the big Shepherd who takes care of all people is coming. When he comes, he will give you a crown to show that you are great. You will have it for ever.
