14 Enoch, the seventh from Adam, also prophesied about them: “Behold, the Lord is coming with myriads of His holy ones 15 to execute judgment on everyone, and to convict all the ungodly among them of every ungodly act of wickedness and every harsh word spoken against Him by ungodly sinners.” 16 These men are discontented grumblers, following after their own lusts; their mouths spew arrogance; they flatter others for their own advantage. 17 But you, beloved, remember what was foretold by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ 18 when they said to you, “In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow after their own ungodly desires.” 19 These are the ones who cause divisions, who are worldly and devoid of the Spirit. 20 But you, beloved, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, 21 keep yourselves in the love of God as you await the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you eternal life. 22 And indeed, have mercy on some, making a distinction; 23 save others with fear by snatching them from the fire, hating even the clothing stained by the flesh. 24 Now to Him who is able to keep them from stumbling and to present them unblemished in His glorious presence, with great joy— 25 to the only wise God our Savior be glory, majesty, dominion and authority both now and for all eternity. Amen. Jude 1:14-25, Majority Standard Bible. Public domain.
