17. But ye, beloved, remember the words spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ,
18. that they said to you, that at the end of the time there should be mockers, walking after their own lusts of ungodlinesses.
19. These are they who set themselves apart, natural men, not having the Spirit.
20. But ye, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit,
21. keep yourselves in the love of God, awaiting the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
22. And of some have compassion, making a difference,
23. but others save with fear, snatching them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
24. But to him that is able to keep you without stumbling, and to set you with exultation blameless before his glory,
25. to the only God our Saviour, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, might, and authority, from before the whole age, and now, and to all the ages. Amen.
