1 Peter 5:3-4

5:3 And do not lord it over ¹  those entrusted to you, ²  but be examples to the flock. 5:4 Then ³  when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that never fades away.

¹ tn Grk “not as lording it over…but being examples.” The participles continue the command of v. 2 by describing how the shepherding should be carried out.

² tn Grk “the ones allotted,” referring to those God has given over to their care.

³ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “Then” to reflect the logical sequence of events.
