Leadership And Humility

² Feed the flock of God which is among you, caring for her, not by force, but willingly; not for shameful lucre, but with willing desire; ³ nor yet as lording it over those allotted to your charge, but proving to be examples to the flock. ⁴ And when the great Prince of the pastors shall appear, ye shall receive the incorruptible crown of glory.
