Verse 2. Feed the flock of God.

I, a fellow-elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, am apostle chosen by him, exhort you to feed the flock. In doing this you are exercising the bishop's office by teaching and exhorting them, and praying with and for them, and watching for their souls, not because you are overpersuaded by men to do so, but willingly and not for gain for the money to be given you for your services, but because of your love for God and his cause, and the salvation of your fellows.
