rwp@1Peter:5:2 @{Tend} (\poimanate\). First aorist active imperative of \poimain\, old verb, from \poimn\ (shepherd) as in strkjv@Luke:17:7|. Jesus used this very word to Peter in the interview by the Sea of Galilee (John:21:16|) and Peter doubtless has this fact in mind here. Paul used the word to the elders at Miletus (Acts:20:28|). See strkjv@2:25| for the metaphor. {Flock} (\poimnion\). Old word, likewise from \poimn\, contraction of \poimenion\ (Luke:12:32|). {Exercising the oversight} (\episkopountes\). Present active participle of \episkope\, old word (in strkjv@Hebrews:12:15| alone in N.T.), omitted here by Aleph B. {Not by constraint} (\m anagkasts\). Negative \m\ because of the imperative. Old adverb from verbal adjective \anagkastos\, here alone in N.T. {But willingly} (\alla hekousis\). By contrast. Old adverb, in N.T. only here and strkjv@Hebrews:10:26|. {Nor yet for filthy lucre} (\mde aischrokerds\). A compound adverb not found elsewhere, but the old adjective \aischrokerds\ is in strkjv@1Timothy:3:8; strkjv@Titus:1:7|. See also strkjv@Titus:1:11| "for the sake of filthy lucre" (\aischrou kerdous charin\). Clearly the elders received stipends, else there could be no such temptation. {But of a ready mind} (\alla prothums\). Old adverb from \prothumos\ (Matthew:26:41|), here only in N.T.

rwp@1Peter:5:3 @{Lording it over} (\katakurieuontes\). Present active participle of \katakurieu\, late compound (\kata, kurios\) as in strkjv@Matthew:20:25|. {The charge allotted to you} (\tn klrn\). "The charges," "the lots" or "the allotments." See it in strkjv@Acts:1:17,25| in this sense. The old word meant a die (Matthew:27:25|), a portion (Colossians:1:12; strkjv@1Peter:1:4|), here the charges assigned (cf. strkjv@Acts:17:4|). From the adjective \klrikos\ come our cleric, clerical, clerk. Wycliff translated it here "neither as having lordship in the clergie." {Making yourselves ensamples} (\tupoi ginomenoi\). Present active participle of \ginomai\ and predicate nominative \tupoi\ (types, models) for which phrase see strkjv@1Thessalonians:1:7|. Continually becoming. See strkjv@2:21| for \hupogrammos\ (writing-copy). {To the flock} (\tou poimniou\). Objective genitive.

rwp@Luke:12:32 @{Little flock} (\to mikron poimnion\). Vocative with the article as used in Hebrew and often in the _Koin_ and so in the N.T. See both \pater\ and \ho patr\ in the vocative in strkjv@Luke:10:21|. See Robertson, _Grammar_, pp. 465f. \Poimnion\ (flock) is a contraction from \poimenion\ from \poimn\ (shepherd) instead of the usual \poimn\ (flock). Songs:it is not a diminutive and \mikron\ is not superfluous, though it is pathetic. {For it is your Father's good pleasure} (\hoti eudoksen ho patr humn\). First aorist active indicative of \eudoke\. Timeless aorist as in strkjv@Luke:3:22|. This verse has no parallel in Matthew.
