Jude 1:15-24
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,
