New King James Version
Serving for God’s Glory
7 But (A)the 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 (B)“love will cover a multitude of sins.” 9 (C)Be hospitable to one another (D)without grumbling. 10 (E)As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, (F)as good stewards of (G)the manifold grace of God. 11 (H)If anyone speaks, let him speak as the [a]oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that (I)in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the [b]dominion forever and ever. Amen.

Psalm 103:8-13
New King James Version
8 (A)The Lord is merciful and gracious,
Slow to anger, and abounding in mercy.
9 (B)He will not always strive with us,
Nor will He keep His anger forever.
10 (C)He has not dealt with us according to our sins,
Nor punished us according to our iniquities.
11 For as the heavens are high above the earth,
So great is His mercy toward those who fear Him;
12 As far as the east is from the west,
So far has He (D)removed our transgressions from us.
13 (E)As a father pities his children,
So the Lord pities those who fear Him.
