The end of the world is coming soon. Therefore be earnest and disciplined in your prayers. Most important of all, continue to show deep love for each other, for lover covers a multitude of sins. Cheerfully share your home with those who need a meal and a place to stay.
God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another. Do you have the gift of speaking? Then speak as thought God Himself were speaking through you. Do you have the gift of helping others? Do it with all the strength and energy God supplies. THen everything you do wil bring glory to God through Jesus Christ. All glory and power to Him forever and ever! Amen. (vv. 7-11, NLT)
