1 Peter 4:11
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.

Study Note
The instruction that those who speak should do so 'as one who speaks oracles of God' and those who serve should do so with the strength God supplies — 'so that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ' — grounds Christian ministry in divine resource and God-centered purpose. The phrase 'oracles of God' (logia theou) applies to the speech of ordinary Christians the same term used for the divine communications given to Israel (Romans 3:2; Hebrews 5:12), implying that Spirit-empowered teaching participates in the authority of scriptural speech. The vision of service as channeling divine strength rather than depleting human resources addresses a fundamental problem of Christian leadership: exhaustion from serving in one's own strength. Colossians 1:29 models the principle: 'for this I toil, struggling with all his energy that he powerfully works in me.'
