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 7multifaceted grace of God. 118Whoever speaks is to do so as one who is speaking 9actual words 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 14dominion forever and ever. Amen.

1215Beloved, do not be surprised at the 16fiery ordeal among you, which comes upon you for your testing, as though something strange were happening to you; 13but to the degree that you 17share the sufferings of Christ, keep on rejoicing, so that at the 18revelation of His glory 19you may also rejoice and be overjoyed. 14If you are insulted 2021for the name of Christ, 22you are blessed, 23because the Spirit of glory, and of God, rests upon you. 15Make sure that 24none of you suffers as a murderer, or thief, or evildoer, or a 2526troublesome meddler; 16but if anyone suffers as a 27Christian, he is not to be ashamed, but is to 28glorify God in this name. 17For it is time for judgment 29to begin 30with 31the household of God; and if it 32begins 33with us first, what will be the outcome for those 34who do not obey the 35gospel of God? 1836And if it is with difficulty that the righteous is saved, 37what will become of the 38godless man and the sinner?
