1 Peter 5:3

5:3 And do not lord it over 1  those entrusted to you, 2  but be examples to the flock.

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.
