Jude 16-21
English Standard Version
16 These are grumblers, malcontents, (A)following their own sinful desires; (B)they are loud-mouthed boasters, (C)showing favoritism to gain advantage.
A Call to Persevere
17 But you must (D)remember, beloved, the predictions of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ. 18 They[a] said to you, (E)“In the last time there will be scoffers, following their own ungodly passions.” 19 It is these who cause divisions, worldly people, (F)devoid of the Spirit. 20 But you, beloved, (G)building yourselves up in your most holy faith and (H)praying in the Holy Spirit, 21 (I)keep yourselves in the love of God, (J)waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life.
