Strongs On/Off
Context
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 .
