1 Peter 5:1
The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:

Study Note
Peter addresses elders as a 'fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed' — establishing leadership authority through shared experience, not merely office. The self-description as 'fellow elder' (sympresbyteros) places Peter alongside rather than above the elders he addresses — a striking choice for one who could claim apostolic primacy. The double identity (witness of suffering, partaker of coming glory) frames pastoral leadership within the same passion-and-resurrection pattern that defines all Christian existence in 1 Peter. The exhortation to shepherd the flock willingly, not by compulsion (5:2), echoes Ezekiel 34's portrait of the faithful shepherd and Jesus' call to feed his sheep (John 21:15-17).
