1 Peter 4:7-14
71The end of all things 2is near; therefore, 3be of sound judgment and sober spirit for the purpose of 4prayer. 8Above all, 5keep fervent in your love for one another, because 6love covers a multitude of sins. 97Be hospitable to one another without 8complaint. 109As each one has received a special gift, employ it in serving one another as good 10stewards of the manifold grace of God. 1111Whoever speaks, is to do so 12as one who is speaking the 13utterances of God; whoever serves is to do so as one who is serving 1415by the strength which God supplies; so that 16in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, 17to whom belongs the glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
1218Beloved, do not be surprised at the 19fiery ordeal among you, which comes upon you for your testing, as though some strange thing were happening to you; 13but to the degree that you 20share the sufferings of Christ, keep on rejoicing, so that also at the 21revelation of His glory 22you may rejoice with exultation. 14If you are reviled 2324for the name of Christ, 25you are blessed, 26because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you.
