1 Peter 5:2

Feed the flock of God. "Tend" (Revised Version). The Greek word "poimaino" means more than "feed". See Joh 21:15-17.

Which is among you. The churches wherever you are.

Taking the oversight [thereof]. Acting as bishops (Ac 20:28).

Not by constraint, but willingly. Attend to the duties cheerfully, willingly.

Not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind. Not for sordid love of gain, but with alacrity.
