‏ 1 Peter 4:10-11

4:10 ^a his great variety of spiritual gifts: See Rom 12:6-8 ^b; 1 Cor 12:1-31 ^c; Eph 4:7-16 ^d.

• Use (literally manage) them well: Believers are like managers: They have been entrusted by God, their Master, with gifts to be used to glorify him.
4:11 ^e All glory and power to him forever and ever! Amen: This doxology has led some to suggest that one original letter of Peter ended here and that another one was added to it. Doxologies in the New Testament do appear at the end of letters (Rom 16:25-27 ^f; Phil 4:20 ^g; Heb 13:21 ^h; 2 Pet 3:18 ⁱ; Jude 1:24-25 ^j), but also at the end of sections within letters (Rom 11:36 ^k; Gal 1:5 ^l; Eph 3:21 ^m; 1 Tim 1:17 ⁿ). Since there is no textual evidence for the existence of two separate letters, it is better to assume that this doxology marks the end of a major section of the letter.
