7 The end of all things is near. Therefore be solemn and sober so you can pray.
8 Above all things, have unfailing love for one another, because love covers a multitude of sins.
9 Show hospitality to one another without complaining.
10 As everyone has received a gift, even so serve one another with it, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
11 If anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God. If anyone serves, let him serve with the strength that God supplies, so that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
12 Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that is taking place among you to test you, as though some strange thing happened to you.
13 But rejoice insofar as you share in Christ’s sufferings, so that you may rejoice and be glad also in the revelation of His glory.
