1 Peter 4:10-12
New Testament for Everyone
10 Just as each of you has received a gift, so you should use it for ministry one to another, as good stewards of God’s many-sided grace. 11 If anyone speaks, they should do so as speaking God’s oracles. If anyone ministers, they should do it as in the strength which God grants, so that God may be glorified in all things through Jesus the Messiah, to whom be glory and power forever and ever. Amen.
Sharing the Messiah’s sufferings
12 Beloved, don’t be surprised at the fiery ordeal which is coming upon you to test you, as though this were some strange thing that was happening to you.
