The F.O.G Verse by Verse commentary is a work in progress. The vision is to bring the ancient Jewish context and supernatural worldview back to every verse in the Bible. Any available commentary will be below. As a member you can comment to request this verse be prioritized next.

If anyone speaks, he should speak as one conveying the words of God. If anyone serves, he should serve with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen.
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
If anyone speaks, let it be as it were the very words of God. If anyone serves, let it be as of the strength which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.
World English Bible (WEB)
If any man{G1536} speak{G2980}{(G5719)}, let him speak as{G5613} the oracles{G3051} of God{G2316}; if any man{G1536} minister{G1247}{(G5719)}, let him do it as{G5613} of{G1537} the ability{G2479} which{G3739} God{G2316} giveth{G5524}{(G5719)}: that{G2443} God{G2316} in{G1722} all things{G3956} may be glorified{G1392}{(G5747)} through{G1223} Jesus{G2424} Christ{G5547}, to whom{G3739} be{G2076}{(G5748)} praise{G1391} and{G2532} dominion{G2904} for{G1519} ever{G165} and ever{G165}.

KJV with Strongs
(11) Whoever speaks, as one saying of אֱלֹהִים Elohim, whoever serves as from the might which יהוה YAHWEH supplies, so that in everything יהוה YAHWEH may be glorified. Through ישוע Yeshua, to whom belongs the shekinah-glory and powerful might into the ages of ages. Amen.
The F.O.G
[11] If you speak, let your words be as though God Himself were speaking through you. If you serve others, serve with the strength and energy that God abundantly supplies. Then everything you do will bring glory to God through Jesus the Messiah, to whom belong glory and power forever and ever. Amen.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
if any one doth speak—‘as oracles of God;’ if any one doth minister—‘as of the ability which God doth supply;’ that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom is the glory and the power—to the ages of the ages. Amen.
Young's Literal Translation (YLT)
