Other Translations - 1 Peter 1:5-4:
 To
the elders among you, I appeal as a fellow elder, a
witness of Christ's sufferings and one who also will
share in the glory to be revealed: Be shepherds of
God's flock that is under your care, serving as
overseers-- not because you must, but because you
are willing, as God wants you to be; not greedy for
money, but eager to serve; not lording it over those
entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock.
And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will
receive the crown of glory that will never fade
away. (NIV)
 The
elders who are among you I exhort, I who am a
fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of
Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that
will be revealed: Shepherd the flock of God
which is among you, serving as overseers, not by
compulsion but willingly, not for dishonest gain
but eagerly; nor as being lords over those
entrusted to you, but being examples to the
flock; and when the Chief Shepherd appears, you
will receive the crown of glory that does not
fade away. (NKJ)
 The elders among you I exhort,
who am a fellow-elder, and a witness of the
sufferings of Christ, who am also a partaker of
the glory that shall be revealed: Tend the flock
of God which is among you, exercising the
oversight, not of constraint, but willingly,
according to (the will of) God; nor yet for
filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; neither as
lording it over the charge allotted to you, but
making yourselves ensamples to the flock. And
when the chief Shepherd shall be manifested, ye
shall receive the crown of glory that fadeth not
away. (ASV)
 The elders which are among you I
exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of
the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of
the glory that shall be revealed: Feed the flock
of God which is among you, taking the oversight
thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not
for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; Neither
as being lords over God's heritage, but being
ensamples to the flock. And when the chief
Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown
of glory that fadeth not away. (KJV)

Therefore,
I exhort the elders among you, as your fellow elder
and witness of the sufferings of Christ, and a
partaker also of the glory that is to be revealed,
shepherd the flock of God among you, exercising
oversight not under compulsion, but voluntarily,
according to the will of God; and not for sordid
gain, but with eagerness; nor yet as lording it over
those allotted to your charge, but proving to be
examples to the flock. And when the Chief Shepherd
appears, you will receive the unfading crown of
glory.
