I appeal to you elders, just as shepherds watch over their sheep, you must watch over everyone God has placed in your care. Do it willingly in order to please God, and not simply because you think you must. 1 Peter 5:1

“Shepherd the flock of God which is among you, serving as overseers, not by compulsion, but willingly, not for dishonest gains, but eagerly, not as being lords over those entrusted to you, but examples to the flock. Let it be something you want to do, instead of something you do merely to make money, and when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that does not fade away.”
