7. Now the end of all things is near. So be self-controlled and sober-minded for prayer.
8. Above all, keep your love for one another constant, for “love covers a multitude of sins.”
9. Be hospitable one to another without grumbling.
10. As each one has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of the many-sided grace of God.
11. Whoever speaks, let it be as one speaking the utterances of God. Whoever serves, let it be with the strength that God supplies. So in all things may God be glorified through Messiah Yeshua—all glory and power to Him forever and ever! Amen.
12. Loved ones, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal taking place among you to test you—as though something strange were happening to you.
13. Instead, rejoice insofar as you share in the sufferings of Messiah, so that at the revelation of His glory you may also rejoice and be glad.
