18. They said to you, "In the end time scoffers will come living according to their own ungodly desires."
19. These people create divisions. Since they don’t have the Spirit, they are worldly.
20. But you, dear friends: build each other up on the foundation of your most holy faith, pray in the Holy Spirit,
21. keep each other in the love of God, wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, who will give you eternal life.
22. Have mercy on those who doubt.
23. Save some by snatching them from the fire. Fearing God, have mercy on some, hating even the clothing contaminated by their sinful urges.
24. To the one who is able to protect you from falling, and to present you blameless and rejoicing before his glorious presence,
25. to the only God our savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, belong glory, majesty, power, and authority, before all time, now and forever. Amen.
