2 Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight [of it], not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but from a ready mind;
shepherd the flock of God which [is] among you, exercising oversight, not by necessity, but willingly; not for base gain, but readily;
3 Neither as being lords over [God's] heritage, but being examples to the flock.
not as lording it over your possessions, but being models for the flock.
