1 Peter 4:10-12

Contemporary English Version

¹⁰ Each of you has been blessed with one of God's many wonderful gifts to be used in the service of others. So use your gift well. ¹¹ If you have the gift of speaking, preach God's message. If you have the gift of helping others, do it with the strength that God supplies. Everything should be done in a way that will bring honor to God because of Jesus Christ, who is glorious and powerful forever. Amen.
