1 Peter 5

Peter exhorts the elders to feed the flock of God willingly, not for dishonest gain, and as examples rather than as lords over those in their charge. He commands all believers to be clothed with humility, to cast all their care on God for He cares for them, and to be sober and vigilant because the devil walks about as a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour.
