Jude 14-25

New International Version

¹⁴ Enoch,^(A) the seventh from Adam, prophesied about them: “See, the Lord is coming^(B) with thousands upon thousands of his holy ones^{(C) 15} to judge^(D) everyone, and to convict all of them of all the ungodly acts they have committed in their ungodliness, and of all the defiant words ungodly sinners have spoken against him.”^{[a](E) 16} These people are grumblers^(F) and faultfinders; they follow their own evil desires;^(G) they boast^(H) about themselves and flatter others for their own advantage.

A Call to Persevere

¹⁷ But, dear friends, remember what the apostles^(I) of our Lord Jesus Christ foretold.^{(J) 18} They said to you, “In the last times^(K) there will be scoffers who will follow their own ungodly desires.”^{(L) 19} These are the people who divide you, who follow mere natural instincts and do not have the Spirit.^(M)

²⁰ But you, dear friends, by building yourselves up^(N) in your most holy faith^(O) and praying in the Holy Spirit,^{(P) 21} keep yourselves in God’s love as you wait^(Q) for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life.^(R)

²² Be merciful to those who doubt; ²³ save others by snatching them from the fire;^(S) to others show mercy, mixed with fear—hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh.^[b](T)

Doxology

²⁴ To him who is able^(U) to keep you from stumbling and to present you before his glorious presence^(V) without fault^(W) and with great joy— ²⁵ to the only God^(X) our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore!^(Y) Amen.^(Z)
