1 PETER 4:11 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.”
If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen — the two spheres of service—speaking (propheteuo, prophesying) and serving (diakoneuō)—are grounded in respective divine enablements. All service aims at 'glory' (doxa) and 'power' (kratos) accredited to God through Christ. The doxology establishes God's eternal reign.
