Use hospitality one to another without grudging.

Open your door and your heart without keeping score.
📚 Historical Context
In the first century, the Apostle Peter wrote his letter to Christians scattered across Asia Minor who were facing intense persecution for their faith, urging them to remain steadfast and live out their beliefs in a hostile Roman Empire. This verse specifically calls for believers to show hospitality to one another without complaint, as many early Christians were often refugees or travelers relying on fellow believers for shelter and support in a world where they were marginalized. It reflects the broader theme in Peter's letter of mutual encouragement and love amid suffering.
