Jude 1:17-23

17But as for you, beloved, remember the [prophetic] words spoken by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ.

18They used to say to you, “In the last days there will be scoffers, following after their own ungodly passions.”

19These are the ones who are [agitators] causing divisions—worldly-minded [secular, unspiritual, carnal, merely sensual—unsaved], devoid of the Spirit.

20But you, beloved, build yourselves up on [the foundation of] your most holy faith [continually progress, rise like an edifice higher and higher], pray in the Holy Spirit,

21and keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting anxiously and looking forward to the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ [which will bring you] to eternal life.

22And have mercy on some, who are doubting;

23save others, snatching them out of the fire; and on some have mercy but with fear, loathing even the clothing spotted and polluted by their shameless immoral freedom.
