End-Time Ethics
7 The end of all things is near;(A) therefore, be alert and sober-minded(B) for prayer. 8 Above all, maintain constant love(C) for one another, since love covers a multitude of sins.[a](D) 9 Be hospitable(E) to one another without complaining. 10 Just as each one has received a gift, use it to serve others,(F) as good stewards of the varied grace of God. 11 If anyone speaks, let it be as one who speaks God’s words; if anyone serves, let it be from the strength God provides,(G) so that God may be glorified through Jesus Christ in everything. To him be the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen.
