The King James Version Bible

1 Peter 5:1-4

  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.
