Texts -- Jude 1:16-25 (NET)

Context
1:16 These people are grumblers and fault-finders who go wherever their desires lead them, and they give bombastic speeches , enchanting folks for their own gain .
Exhortation to the Faithful
1:17 But you , dear friends – recall the predictions foretold by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ . 1:18 For they said to you , “In the end time there will come scoffers , propelled by their own ungodly desires .” 1:19 These people are divisive , worldly , devoid of the Spirit . 1:20 But you , dear friends , by building yourselves up in your most holy faith , by praying in the Holy Spirit , 1:21 maintain yourselves in the love of God , while anticipating the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that brings eternal life . 1:22 And have mercy on those who waver ; 1:23 save others by snatching them out of the fire; have mercy on others, coupled with a fear of God, hating even the clothes stained by the flesh .
Final Blessing
1:24 Now to the one who is able to keep you from falling , and to cause you to stand , rejoicing , without blemish before his glorious presence , 1:25 to the only God our Savior through Jesus Christ our Lord , be glory , majesty , power , and authority , before all time , and now , and for all eternity . Amen .
