Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;

3

Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples to the flock.

4

And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.

New Defender's Study Bible Notes

1 Peter 5:2

5:2 filthy lucre. “Filthy lucre” is one word in the Greek. Lucre, from a Latin word meaning “gain,” only becomes filthy when it corrupts the sincerity of Christian ministry.

1 Peter 5:4

5:4 chief Shepherd. See Isaiah 40:11. The Lord Jesus Christ is called the “good shepherd” in John 10:11, and “that great shepherd of the sheep” in Hebrews 13:20. Actually “pastor” is the same word as “shepherd” in the Greek.
