On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

being lords--Greek, "lording it": implying pride and oppression. "Not that we have dominion over your faith." God's heritage--Greek, "the inheritances," that is, the portions of the Church committed severally to your pastoral charge [BENGEL]. It is explained by "the flock" in the next clause.

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown· Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, 1871reformed

Neither as lording over the heritage - Behaving in a haughty, domineering manner, as though you had dominion over their conscience. The word translated heritage, is, literally, the portions. There is one flock under the one chief Shepherd; but many portions of this, under many pastors.

John Wesley (NT Notes)· Explanatory Notes upon the Bible, 1765evangelical
