9 1Be hospitableG5382 to oneG240 anotherG240 withoutG427 2complaintG1112. 10 3As eachG1538 oneG1538 has receivedG2983 a special giftG5486, employG1247 it in servingG1247 oneG1438 anotherG1438 as goodG2570 4stewardsG3623 of the manifoldG4164 graceG5485 of GodG2316. 11 5WhoeverG1487 G5100 speaksG2980, is to do so 6as oneG5613 who is speakingG2980 the 7utterancesG3051 of GodG2316; whoeverG1487 G5100 servesG1247 is to do so as oneG5613 who is servingG1247 8 9by the strengthG2479 whichG3739 GodG2316 suppliesG5524; soG2443 that 10in allG3956 thingsG3956 GodG2316 may be glorifiedG1392 throughG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, 11to whomG3739 belongsG1510 the gloryG1391 and dominionG2904 foreverG165 and everG165. AmenG281.

12 12BelovedG27, do not be surprisedG3579 at the 13fieryG4451 ordealG4451 amongG1722 you, which comesG1096 upon you for your testingG3986, as thoughG5613 some strangeG3581 thingG3581 were happeningG4819 to you; 13but to the degreeG2526 that you 14shareG2841 the sufferingsG3804 of ChristG5547, keep on rejoicingG5463, soG2443 that alsoG2532 at the 15revelationG602 of His gloryG1391 16you may rejoiceG5463 with exultationG21. 14IfG1487 you are reviledG3679 17 18for the nameG3686 of ChristG5547, 19you are blessedG3107, 20becauseG3754 the SpiritG4151 of gloryG1391 and of GodG2316 restsG373 on you. 15MakeG3361 sure that 21noneG5100 G3361 of you suffersG3958 as a murdererG5406, orG2228 thiefG2812, orG2228 evildoerG2555, orG2228 a 22 23troublesomeG244 meddlerG244; 16but ifG1487 anyone suffers as a 24ChristianG5546, he is not to be ashamedG153, but is to 25glorifyG1392 GodG2316 in thisG3778 nameG3686. 17For it is timeG2540 for judgmentG2917 26to beginG757 27with 28the householdG3624 of GodG2316; and ifG1487 it 29begins with us firstG4413, whatG5101 will be the outcomeG5056 for thoseG3588 30who doG544 not obeyG544 the 31gospelG2098 of GodG2316? 18 32And ifG1487 it is with difficultyG3433 that the righteousG1342 is savedG4982, 33whatG4226 will becomeG5316 of the 34godlessG765 manG765 and the sinnerG268? 19ThereforeG5620, thoseG3588 alsoG2532 who sufferG3958 accordingG2596 to 35the willG2307 of GodG2316 shall entrustG3908 their soulsG5590 to a faithfulG4103 CreatorG2939 in doingG16 whatG16 is rightG16.
