Jude 1:14-25

14Now Enoch, the seventh in descent beginning with Adam, even prophesied of them, saying, “Look! The Lord is coming with thousands and thousands of his holy ones,

15to execute judgment on all, and to convict every person of all their thoroughly ungodly deeds that they have committed, and of all the harsh words that ungodly sinners have spoken against him.”

16These people are grumblers and fault-finders who go wherever their desires lead them, and they give bombastic speeches, enchanting folks for their own gain.

17But you, dear friends – recall the predictions foretold by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ.

18For they said to you, “In the end time there will come scoffers, propelled by their own ungodly desires.”

19These people are divisive, worldly, devoid of the Spirit.

20But you, dear friends, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith, by praying in the Holy Spirit,

21maintain yourselves in the love of God, while anticipating the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that brings eternal life.

22And have mercy on those who waver;

23save others by snatching them out of the fire; have mercy on others, coupled with a fear of God, hating even the clothes stained by the flesh.

24Now to the one who is able to keep you from falling, and to cause you to stand, rejoicing, without blemish before his glorious presence,

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