Let the Shepherd Lead

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