Jude 17-24

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁷ Dear friends, remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ told you to expect: ¹⁸ “In the last times people who ridicule ⌞God⌟ will appear. They will follow their own ungodly desires.” ¹⁹ These are the people who cause divisions. They are concerned about physical things, not spiritual things.

Final Advice

²² Show mercy to those who have doubts. ²³ Save others by snatching them from the fire ⌞of hell⌟. Show mercy to others, even though you are afraid that you might be stained by their sinful lives.
