Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ and a brother of James, To those who have been called, who are loved in God the Father and kept for Jesus Christ:

For certain individuals whose condemnation was written about long ago have secretly slipped in among you. They are ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord.

A Call to Persevere

But, dear friends, remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ foretold.

keep yourselves in God’s love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life.

to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen.
