1 PETER 2:25 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.”
For you were like sheep going astray, but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls — the pastoral metaphor depicts pre-Christian existence as wandering (planazō) like sheep but now returned to the 'Shepherd and Guardian of your souls' (poimēn kai episkopos tōn psychōn hymōn). The return to Christ establishes him as the shepherd-bishop who has restored lost sheep to divine pasture.
