1 Peter 4:9-11
Context4:9 Show hospitality 1 to one another without complaining. 4:10 Just as each one has received a gift, use it to serve one another 2 as good stewards of the varied grace of God. 4:11 Whoever speaks, let it be with 3 God’s words. 4 Whoever serves, do so with the strength 5 that God supplies, so that in everything God will be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong 6 the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen.
[4:9] 1 tn There is no main verb in this verse (“showing hospitality” translates the adjective φιλόξενοι [filoxenoi]), but it continues the sense of command from v. 7.
[4:10] 2 tn Grk “serving it to one another.” The primary verb is a participle but it continues the sense of command from v. 7.
[4:11] 3 tn Grk “if anyone speaks – as God’s words.”
