So I exhort the elders [presbyters] among you, as a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ as well as a partaker in the glory that is to be revealed: Tend the flock of God that is your charge, not by constraint but willingly, not for shameful gain but eagerly, not as domineering over those in your charge but being examples to the flock. And when the chief Shepherd is manifested you will obtain the unfading crown of glory. (1 Pet 5:1-4)
So, buddy boy, the Cynic's interpretation negating Christ's teachings on the royal priesthood of all believers with the elders/ministerial priesthood is utterly wrong.

No Greek word there meaning priest. Only through entomology does the RCC get to the use of priest. The only leadership positions in the New Testament called priest is Christ, the leaders of the Jewish religion, and Pagan leadership. So which is it?
“buddy boy” ey? You really need to calm down and read scripture instead of RCC propaganda.
