1 Peter 5:3

Leadership And Humility

² Feed the flock of God among you, taking the oversight, not by compulsion, but willingly; nor for base gain, but readily; ³ nor as lording it over those allotted to you by God, but becoming examples to the flock. ⁴ And when the Chief Shepherd shall appear, you shall receive a never-fading crown of glory.
