1 Peter 4:11

³¹Whether therefore you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

¹⁰Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might.

¹⁰As each has received a gift, employ it in serving one another, as good managers of the grace of God in its various forms.

¹Let not many of you be teachers, my brothers, knowing that we will receive heavier judgment. ²For we all stumble in many things. Anyone who doesn’t stumble in word is a perfect person, able to bridle the whole body also. ³Indeed, we put bits into the horses’ mouths so that they may obey us, and we guide their whole body. ⁴Behold,^[+] the ships also, though they are so big and are driven by fierce winds, are yet guided by a very small rudder, wherever the pilot desires. ⁵So the tongue is also a little member, and boasts great things. See how a small fire can spread to a large forest! ⁶And the tongue is a fire. The world of iniquity among our members is the tongue, which defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature, and is set on fire by Gehenna.

⁴Now there are various kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit.

²⁹Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but only what is good for building others up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear.

⁶Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.

^38[+] This is he who was in the assembly in the wilderness with the angel that spoke to him on Mount Sinai, and with our fathers, who received living revelations to give to us,

²Much in every way! Because first of all, they were entrusted with the revelations of God.

⁵You also as living stones are built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
