I. Be humble

1 Peter 5:1 NIV
To the elders among you, I appeal as a fellow elder and a witness of Christ’s sufferings who also will share in the glory to be revealed:
1 Peter 5:2 NIV
Be shepherds of God’s flock that is under your care, watching over them—not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not pursuing dishonest gain, but eager to serve;
1 Peter 5:3 NIV
not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock.
1 Peter 5:4 NIV
And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away.
1 Peter 5:5 NIV
In the same way, you who are younger, submit yourselves to your elders. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, “God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.”

Let’s flesh this out...

1 Timothy 3:1 NIV
Here is a trustworthy saying: Whoever aspires to be an overseer desires a noble task.
1 Timothy 3:2 NIV
Now the overseer is to be above reproach, faithful to his wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach,
1 Timothy 3:3 NIV
not given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money.
1 Timothy 3:4 NIV
He must manage his own family well and see that his children obey him, and he must do so in a manner worthy of full respect.
1 Timothy 3:5 NIV
(If anyone does not know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of God’s church?)
1 Timothy 3:6 NIV
He must not be a recent convert, or he may become conceited and fall under the same judgment as the devil.
1 Timothy 3:7 NIV
He must also have a good reputation with outsiders, so that he will not fall into disgrace and into the devil’s trap.

and...

Titus 1:5 NIV
The reason I left you in Crete was that you might put in order what was left unfinished and appoint elders in every town, as I directed you.
Titus 1:6 NIV
An elder must be blameless, faithful to his wife, a man whose children believe and are not open to the charge of being wild and disobedient.
Titus 1:7 NIV
Since an overseer manages God’s household, he must be blameless—not overbearing, not quick-tempered, not given to drunkenness, not violent, not pursuing dishonest gain.
Titus 1:8 NIV
Rather, he must be hospitable, one who loves what is good, who is self-controlled, upright, holy and disciplined.
Titus 1:9 NIV
He must hold firmly to the trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that he can encourage others by sound doctrine and refute those who oppose it.
Titus 1:10 NIV
For there are many rebellious people, full of meaningless talk and deception, especially those of the circumcision group.
Titus 1:11 NIV
They must be silenced, because they are disrupting whole households by teaching things they ought not to teach—and that for the sake of dishonest gain.

II. Serve and suffer

1 Peter 5:6 NIV
Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.
1 Peter 5:7 NIV
Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
1 Peter 5:8 NIV
Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.
1 Peter 5:9 NIV
Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.
1 Peter 5:10 NIV
And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.
1 Peter 5:11 NIV
To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen.

“She”

1 Peter 5:12 NIV
With the help of Silas, whom I regard as a faithful brother, I have written to you briefly, encouraging you and testifying that this is the true grace of God. Stand fast in it.
1 Peter 5:13 NIV
She who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, sends you her greetings, and so does my son Mark.
1 Peter 5:14 NIV
Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace to all of you who are in Christ.
