9 Show hospitality[a] to one another without complaining. 10 Just as each one has received a gift, use it to serve one another[b] as good stewards of the varied grace of God. 11 Whoever speaks, let it be with[c] God’s words.[d] Whoever serves, do so with the strength[e] that God supplies, so that in everything God will be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong[f] the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen.
