17. But you, dear friends, remember what was predicted by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;
18. they told you, “In the end time there will be scoffers walking according to their own ungodly desires.”
19. These people create divisions and are unbelievers, not having the Spirit.
20. But you, dear friends, as you build yourselves up in your most holy faith and pray in the Holy Spirit,
21. keep yourselves in the love of God, expecting the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ for eternal life.
22. Have mercy on those who doubt;
23. save others by snatching them from the fire; have mercy on others but with fear, hating even the garment defiled by the flesh.
24. Now to Him who is able to protect you from stumbling and to make you stand in the presence of His glory, blameless and with great joy,
25. to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, power, and authority before all time, now and forever. Amen.
