SCRIPTURE

"using hospitality one to another without murmuring: according as each hath received a gift, ministering it among yourselves, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God;" — 1 Peter 4:9-10 (ASV)

Use hospitality one to another without grudging. As every man has received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.

Whatever "the gift" is, whether it be money, or talent, or grace, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. God gives much to you that you may give it to others; it is only meant to run through you as through a pipe.

You are a steward, and if a steward should receive his lord's goods and keep them for himself, he would be an unfaithful steward. Child of God, see to it that you faithfully discharge your responsibility as one of the good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
