1 Peter 4:9

Serving for God’s Glory

7 But ^athe end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers.

8 And above all things have fervent love for one another, for ^a“love will cover a multitude of sins.”

9 ^aBe hospitable to one another ^bwithout grumbling.

10 ^aAs each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, ^bas good stewards of ^cthe manifold grace of God.

11 ^aIf anyone speaks, let him speak as the¹ oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that ^bin all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the² dominion forever and ever. Amen.

1 Peter 4:9

Use hospitality - Be ever ready to divide your bread with the hungry, and to succor the stranger. See on Hebrews 13:2 (note).

Without grudging - · Without grumblings. Do nothing merely because it is commanded, but do it from love to God and man; then it will be without grumbling.
