So you must live like people who belong to the light, for it is the light that brings a rich harvest
of every kind of goodness, righteousness and truth."

Philippians 2:5b-6a (Today's English Version)
As each of you has received a gift (a particular spiritual
talent, a gracious divine endowment), employ it for one
another as [befits] good trustees of God’s many-sided grace [faithful
stewards of the extremely diverse powers and gifts granted to
Christians by unmerited favour].
Whoever speaks, [let him do it as one who utters] oracles of God;
whoever renders service, [let
him do it] as with the
strength which God furnishes
abundantly, so that in all things
God may be glorified through
Jesus Christ (the Messiah). To
Him be the glory and dominion
forever and ever ….
Amen ….” 1 Peter 4:10-11
