shepherdg4165  athe flockg4168 of Godg2316 amongg1722 you, exercising oversightg1983  bnot underg317 compulsiong317, but voluntarilyg1596, accordingg2596 to the will of Godg2316; and  cnot for sordidg147 gaing147, but with eagernessg4290;

3

norg3366 yet as  alordingg2634b it overg2634b  1thoseg3588 allottedg2819 to your chargeg2819, but  2provingg1096 to be  bexamplesg5179b to the flockg4168.
