First letter of Peter 5:2


Feed (nurture, protect, lead, shepherd) the flock of God that is among you [for which you are responsible].
Watch over them (Gk. episkopeo, cf. Heb. 12:15; 1 Tim. 3:1), not out of compulsion (duty),
but willingly.
Not motivated by greed [through a misguided focus on the benefits of the office],
but passionately (devotedly).
