Apostates Predicted

16 These are grumblers, complainers, walking according to their own lusts; and they (A)mouth great swelling words, (B)flattering people to gain advantage. 17 (C)But you, beloved, remember the words which were spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ: 18 how they told you that (D)there would be mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own ungodly lusts. 19 These are [a]sensual persons, who cause divisions, not having the Spirit.

Maintain Your Life with God

20 But you, beloved, (E)building yourselves up on your most holy faith, (F)praying in the Holy Spirit, 21 keep yourselves in the love of God, (G)looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

22 And on some have compassion, [b]making a distinction; 23 but (H)others save [c]with fear, (I)pulling them out of the [d]fire, hating even (J)the garment defiled by the flesh.

Glory to God

24 (K)Now to Him who is able to keep [e]you from stumbling,
And (L)to present you faultless
Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy,
25 To [f]God our Savior,
[g]Who alone is wise,
Be glory and majesty,
Dominion and [h]power,
Both now and forever.
Amen.
