Verse 9
Offering hospitality without complaining is one way to demonstrate love for the brethren (cf. Matthew 25:35). A host might incur persecution by giving hospitality to a known Christian in Peter’s day.
"In certain cultures that are strongly family-oriented, the bringing of strangers into a house may be somewhat shocking. Yet Christians overcome these conventions because God’s love has made them into a single great family." [Note: Blum, p. 246.]
