11. Woe to them! For they have traveled in the way of Cain, and have given themselves up to the error of Balaam for gain, and have perished in the rebellion of Korah.
12. These are the ones feasting together without reverence, hidden reefs at your love feasts, caring for themselves, waterless clouds carried away by winds, late autumn trees without fruit, twice dead, uprooted,
13. wild waves of the sea foaming up their own shameful deeds, wandering stars, for whom the deep gloom of darkness has been reserved for eternity.
14. And Enoch, the seventh from Adam, also prophesied about these people, saying, “Behold, the Lord came with tens of thousands of his holy ones
15. to execute judgment against all, and to convict all the ungodly concerning all their ungodly deeds that they have committed in an ungodly way, and concerning all the harsh things that ungodly sinners have spoken against him.
16. These people are grumblers, discontented, proceeding according to their desires, and their mouths speaking pompous words, showing partiality to gain an advantage.
17. But you, dear friends, remember the words proclaimed beforehand by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ,
18. for they said to you, “In the end time there will be scoffers following according to their own ungodly desires.”
19. These are the ones who cause divisions, worldly, not having the Spirit.
20. But you, dear friends, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith, by praying in the Holy Spirit,
21. keep yourselves in the love of God, looking forward to the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life.
22. And have mercy on those who doubt,
23. and save others by snatching them from the fire, and have mercy on others with fear, hating even the tunic stained by the flesh.
