Jude 17-25

Christian Standard Bible

¹⁷ But you, dear friends, remember what was predicted by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ. ¹⁸ They told you, “In the end time^(A) there will be scoffers^(B) living according to their own ungodly desires.” ¹⁹ These people create divisions and are worldly,^(C) not having the Spirit.

Exhortation and Benediction

²⁰ But you, dear friends, as you build yourselves up in your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit,^{(D) 21} keep yourselves in the love of God,^(E) waiting expectantly for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ for eternal life. ²² Have mercy on those who waver; ²³ save others by snatching them from the fire;^(F) have mercy on others but with fear,^(G) hating^(H) even the garment^(I) defiled by the flesh.

²⁴ Now to him^(J) who is able to protect you from stumbling^(K) and to make you stand in the presence of his glory, without blemish^(L) and with great joy, ²⁵ to the only^(M) God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord,^[a] be glory, majesty, power, and authority before all time,^[b] now and forever. Amen.
