1 Peter 4:10

manifold grace of God: This refers to the variety of spiritual gifts God has given to followers of Jesus. See Romans 12:6–8; 1 Corinthians 12:1–31; Ephesians 4:7–16.
use (literally manage) whatever gift: Christians are like managers. They have been trusted by God, their Master, with gifts to be used to bring glory to him.

1 Peter 4:7–11

With this paragraph of final instructions, Peter brings the third main part of the letter to a close (3:13–4:11).
