“Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.”
Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they are keeping watch over your souls as those who will have to give an account; let them do this with joy and not with sighing — leaders (hegemōn) deserve obedience (peithō) and submission (hypotassō); they answer for the community's spiritual welfare (psychē). Joy rather than groaning marks faithful leadership.
