Read down to the center, where the pattern turns; then rise back out through its mirror.

A 1 The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder,
- B and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:
  - C 2 Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof,
    - D not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;
  - C' 3 Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples to the flock.
- B' 4 And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.
A' 5 Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.
