Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)

¹⁷ But you, beloveds, remember the words that were spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ, ¹⁸ how they told you that there would be beguilers in the last time, who would walk after their own ungodly lusts. ¹⁹ These are makers of fleshly sects, not having the Spirit. ²⁰ But you, dearly beloveds, build yourselves up in your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, ²¹ and keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. ²² And have compassion on some, separating them; ²³ and others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; and hate the spotted vesture of the flesh.

²⁴ Now to him who is able to keep you so that you do not fall, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with joy – ²⁵ that is to say, to God our Saviour, who alone is wise – be glory, majesty, dominion, and power, now and forever. Amen.

Hereafter follows
the Apocalypse.
