Text -- Jude 1:13-25 (NET)
![](images/arrow_open.gif)
Strongs On/Off
Context
1:13 wild sea waves , spewing out the foam of their shame ; wayward stars for whom the utter depths of eternal darkness have been reserved .
1:14 Now Enoch , the seventh in descent beginning with Adam , even prophesied of them , saying , “Look ! The Lord is coming with thousands and thousands of his holy ones ,
1:15 to execute judgment on all , and to convict every person of all their thoroughly ungodly deeds that they have committed , and of all the harsh words that ungodly sinners have spoken against him .”
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 .
