Jude 21-23
New Living Translation
21 and await the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, who will bring you eternal life. In this way, you will keep yourselves safe in God’s love.
22 And you must show mercy to[a] those whose faith is wavering. 23 Rescue others by snatching them from the flames of judgment. Show mercy to still others,[b] but do so with great caution, hating the sins that contaminate their lives.[c]
