Serving for God’s Glory

But (A)the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers. And above all things have fervent love for one another, for (B)“love will cover a multitude of sins.” (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.
