Brief survey of the concept of an 'elder'
- We first meet with the concept in the Old Testament.
- The word is used in Acts
- And used elsewhere in the epistles
So, who is he addressing as 'elders' and 'you who are younger' here?
- "Old people", or is this a technical term for an office?
- Does v5 imply "old people" by saying "you who are younger" (νεώτεροι)

An exortation to "the elders among you"
- How does Peter position himself here? What does that mean?
- What are the "elders" exhorted to do?
- How are they to do it? (identify the 3 negative+positive clarifications)
- What is the reward? Who gives it? Is it special?
What are "you who are younger" instructed to do?
- ὑποτάγητε
This section ends with a general instruction - regardless of role
- what is it?
- what does it look like?
- how does it relate to the roles just mentioned?
