1 Peter 4:7-11

7 1The 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. 9 7Be hospitable to one another without 8complaint. 10 9As each one has received a special gift, employ it in serving one another as good 10stewards of the 11multifaceted grace of God. 11 12Whoever speaks is to do so as one who is speaking 13actual words of God; whoever serves is to do so as one who is serving 14 15by the strength which God supplies; so that 16in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, 17to whom belongs the glory and 18dominion forever and ever. Amen.
