1 Peter 4:11

If any one speaketh, as oracles of God, if any one ministereth, as of strength which, God, supplieth,—that, in all things, God may be glorified through Jesus Christ,—unto whom are the glory and the dominion, unto the ages of ages. Amen!

The Emphasised Bible by J. B. Rotherham

In The King James Version

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.
