1 Peter 5:1-11 GW

[1] I appeal to your spiritual leaders. I make this appeal as a spiritual leader who also witnessed Christ’s sufferings and will share in the glory that will be revealed.

[2] Be shepherds over the flock God has entrusted to you. Watch over it as God does: Don’t do this because you have to, but because you want to. Don’t do it out of greed, but out of a desire to serve.

[3] Don’t be rulers over the people entrusted to you, but be examples for the flock to follow. [4] Then, when the chief shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away.

[5] Young people, in a similar way, place yourselves under the authority of spiritual leaders. Furthermore, all of you must serve each other with humility, because God opposes the arrogant but favors the humble.

[6] Be humbled by God’s power so that when the right time comes he will honor you.

[7] Turn all your anxiety over to God because he cares for you.

[8] Keep your mind clear, and be alert. Your opponent the devil is prowling around like a roaring lion as he looks for someone to devour.

[9] Be firm in the faith and resist him, knowing that other believers throughout the world are going through the same kind of suffering.

[10] God, who shows you his kindness and who has called you through Christ Jesus to his eternal glory, will restore you, strengthen you, make you strong, and support you as you suffer for a little while.

[11] Power belongs to him forever. Amen.

[15] Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

2 Timothy 2:4-7 GW

[4] Whoever serves in the military doesn’t get mixed up in non-military activities. This pleases his commanding officer.

[5] Whoever enters an athletic competition wins the prize only when playing by the rules.

[6] A hard-working farmer should have the first share of the crops.

[7] Understand what I’m saying. The Lord will help you understand all these things.

What is your title? When I ask this, I do not only mean what are the credentials attached to your name, but what role do you play in leadership? If you do not have the answer to this question, you most definitely do not know what is expected to be accomplished by you holding this position. It's all nice to be acknowledged by a title being attached to your name because it
