Jude 14-23

English Standard Version

¹⁴ It was also about these that Enoch, ^(A)the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying, ^(B)“Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of his holy ones, ^15 (C)to execute judgment on all and to convict all the ungodly of all their deeds of ungodliness that they have ^(D)committed in such an ungodly way, and of all ^(E)the harsh things that ungodly sinners have spoken against him.” ¹⁶ These are grumblers, malcontents, ^(F)following their own sinful desires; ^(G)they are loud-mouthed boasters, ^(H)showing favoritism to gain advantage.

A Call to Persevere

¹⁷ But you must ^(I)remember, beloved, the predictions of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ. ¹⁸ They^[a] said to you, ^(J)“In the last time there will be scoffers, following their own ungodly passions.” ¹⁹ It is these who cause divisions, worldly people, ^(K)devoid of the Spirit. ²⁰ But you, beloved, ^(L)building yourselves up in your most holy faith and ^(M)praying in the Holy Spirit, ^21 (N)keep yourselves in the love of God, ^(O)waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life. ²² And have mercy on those who doubt; ²³ save others by ^(P)snatching them out of ^(Q)the fire; to others show mercy ^(R)with fear, hating even ^(S)the garment^[b] stained by the flesh.
