[:en]”Be shepherds of God’s flock that is under your care, serving as overseers – not because you must, but because your are willing, as God wants you to be; not greedy for money, but eager to serve; not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock. And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away” (vs. 1-4)
“Young men, be submissive to those who are older. Clothe yourselves with humility toward one another because God opposes the proud abut gives grace to the humble” (v. 5)
“Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time” (v. 6)
“Cast your anxiety on him because he cares for you” (v. 7)
“Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith” (v. 8-9)
