1 Peter 4:8-18

8Above all, 1keep fervent in your love for one another, because 2love covers a multitude of sins. 93Be hospitable to one another without 4complaint. 105As each one has received a special gift, employ it in serving one another as good 6stewards of the manifold grace of God. 117Whoever speaks, is to do so 8as one who is speaking the 9utterances of God; whoever serves is to do so as one who is serving 1011by the strength which God supplies; so that 12in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, 13to whom belongs the glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

1214Beloved, do not be surprised at the 15fiery 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 16share the sufferings of Christ, keep on rejoicing, so that also at the 17revelation of His glory 18you may rejoice with exultation. 14If you are reviled 1920for the name of Christ, 21you are blessed, 22because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. 15Make sure that 23none of you suffers as a murderer, or thief, or evildoer, or a 2425troublesome meddler; 16but if anyone suffers as a 26Christian, he is not to be ashamed, but is to 27glorify God in this name. 17For it is time for judgment 28to begin 29with 30the household of God; and if it 31begins with us first, what will be the outcome for those 32who do not obey the 33gospel of God? 1834And if it is with difficulty that the righteous is saved, 35what will become of the 36godless man and the sinner?
