What does this passage mean? 1 Peter 5:2-6

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. Young men, in the same way be submissive to those who are older. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because,"God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble."Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.

Who does this relate to commitment and integrity... thanks so much :)

[Nestorian]

What do you think it means?

It matters not what I think, but what you think, for it is your mind that you must use to understand all things.

And even then, "there is more to truth than just facts." - Unknown.

"There are many things in this world I can not understand, but it seems to me that there are many things in this world that do not understand me. So rationality is as fleeting as the thoughts that make it so..."- Nestorian


For me, it means that we should not be proud of what we have, how we look, nor what we own. We are equal and shuold help one aonther. However, when it speeks of the young being submissive to the old I do not agree with literal transaltion. It is referring to old souls, and young souls. Not our phisical body.

May peace and kindness be with you.
