Peter appeals to the elders, as a fellow elder, to exercise their authority over the flock of God not under compulsion but voluntarily, not seeking their own will but the will of God. They are to lead with a zeal to love not for sordid gain. They are not to lord it over the flock but be examples to the flock entrusted to them. Clothing themselves with humility, they will be lifted up in due time.
