1 Peter 4:10

Serving othersGraceGenerosity

8 Above all, love one another deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.

9 Show hospitality to one another without complaining.

As good stewards of the manifold grace of God, each of you should use whatever gift he has received to serve one another.

11 If anyone speaks, he should speak as one conveying the words of God. If anyone serves, he should serve with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen.

12 Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial that has come upon you, as though something strange were happening to you.
