1. 1 Pierre 5:2–3 (NEG79)
  2. Explication du texte

With what attitude would Peter have the elders shepherd their flock?

1 Pierre 5:2–3 (NEG79)

2 Paissez le troupeau de Dieu qui est sous votre garde, non par contrainte, mais volontairement, selon Dieu; non pour un gain sordide, mais avec dévouement;

In 1 Peter 5:2b & 1 Peter 5:3 Peter lists three mindsets critical to the work of the elder, listing a negative and then a positive:

  • Not under compulsion, but willingly;

  • Not for shameful gain, but eagerly;

  • Not domineering, but being examples.
