ACC ~ 1 Peter 4 v11

BY THE STRENGTH THAT GOD SUPPLIES. CYRIL OF ALEXANDRIA: Those who offer hospitality to others make themselves happy and content, not so much because they are giving of their own as because they are being helped by others. And this in two ways; first, because they enjoy the company of their guests, and second, because they earn a reward for their hospitality. But if you receive a brother, do not be distracted by too much serving, and do not attempt what is beyond your strength. Unnecessary effort is always tedious, and such exertions will only embarrass your guests. Do not let your guest become a cause for impoverishing yourself, but even in hard times be as generous as you can. CATENA.

THAT GOD MAY BE GLORIFIED. BEDE: It seems that Peter was afraid that he might say or teach something which goes against the will of God, or against what is written in Scripture, and be found to be a false witness to God or a blasphemer or a heretic who was introducing something which goes against the Lord’s teaching. And what he practiced himself in this respect he enjoins on us all. ON 1 PETER.
