"nor yet as lording it over those allotted to your charge, but proving to be examples to the flock." 1 Peter 5.3
1 Peter 5.3 marks the end of the sentence that began back in verse 1, and the two statements contained in the verse conclude Peter's opening address to leaders about leadership.
nor yet as lording it over- don't abuse your position. Leadership is not a position to abuse and take advantage of those you lead.
proving to be examples- model, show people how to live by living an example for them to emulate.
1 Peter 5.3 talks about what leadership is all about. This verse builds on the attitude and actions of a leader from the previous verses, and talks about the point of leadership.
Fight the lion, 1 Peter 5.1-11
TO GOD ALONE BE THE GLORY!
