2 lshepherd the flock of God that is among you, exercising oversight,
Some manuscripts omit  exercising oversight
nnot under compulsion, but willingly, as God would have you;
Some manuscripts omit  as God would have you
pnot for shameful gain, but eagerly;
3not qdomineering over those in your charge, but rbeing examples to the flock.
