Jude 1:14-25 ▼

14 Enoch, in the seventh generation from Adam, prophesied about these people when he said, |Look! The Lord has come with countless thousands of his holy ones.

15 He will judge all people and convict everyone of all the ungodly things that they have done in such an ungodly way, including all the harsh things that these ungodly sinners have said about him.|

16 These people are complainers and faultfinders, following their own desires. They say arrogant things and flatter people in order to take advantage of them.

17 But you, dear friends, must remember the statements and predictions of the apostles of our Lord Jesus, the Messiah.

18 They kept telling you, |In the last times there will be mockers, following their own ungodly desires.|

19 These are the people who cause divisions. They are worldly, devoid of the Spirit.

20 But you, dear friends, must continue to build your most holy faith for your own benefit. Furthermore, continue to pray in the Holy Spirit.

21 Remain in God's love as you look for the mercy of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, which brings eternal life.

22 Show mercy to those who have doubts.

23 Save others by snatching them from the fire. To others, show mercy with fear, hating even the clothes stained by their sinful lives.

24 Now to the one who is able to keep you from falling and to make you stand joyful and faultless in his glorious presence,

25 to the only God, our Savior, through Jesus the Messiah, our Lord, be glory, majesty, power, and authority before all time and for all eternity! Amen.
