Jude 1:17-22

A Warning and Things to Do

¹⁷ Dear friends, remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ said before.

¹⁸ They said to you, "In the last times there will be people who laugh about God, following their own evil desires which are against God."

¹⁹ These are the people who divide you, people whose thoughts are only of this world, who do not have the Spirit.

²⁰ But dear friends, use your most holy faith to build yourselves up, praying in the Holy Spirit.

²¹ Keep yourselves in God's love as you wait for the Lord Jesus Christ with his mercy to give you life forever.

²² Show mercy to some people who have doubts.

(New Century Version)
