1 Peter 4:9-11
The Message
7-11 Everything in the world is about to be wrapped up, so take nothing for granted. Stay wide-awake in prayer. Most of all, love each other as if your life depended on it. Love makes up for practically anything. Be quick to give a meal to the hungry, a bed to the homeless—cheerfully. Be generous with the different things God gave you, passing them around so all get in on it: if words, let it be God’s words; if help, let it be God’s hearty help. That way, God’s bright presence will be evident in everything through Jesus, and he’ll get all the credit as the One mighty in everything—encores to the end of time. Oh, yes!

New International Version
9 Offer hospitality(A) to one another without grumbling.(B) 10 Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others,(C) as faithful(D) stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. 11 If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God.(E) If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides,(F) so that in all things God may be praised(G) through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.(H)
1 Peter 4:9-11
King James Version
9 Use hospitality one to another without grudging.
10 As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
11 If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
