IN THE LAST TIMES THERE WILL BE SCOFFERS

Jude 17-23

17 But, dear friends,

Remember what the Apostles

of our Lord Jesus Christ foretold.

18 They said to you,

'IN THE LAST TIMES THERE WILL BE SCOFFERS

WHO FOLLOW THEIR OWN UNGODLY DESIRES.'

19 THESE ARE THE MEN WHO DIVIDE YOU,

WHO FOLLOW MERE NATURAL INSTINCTS

AND DO NOT HAVE THE SPIRIT.

20 BUT YOU, DEAR FRIENDS,

BUILD YOURSELVES UP IN YOUR MOST HOLY FAITH

AND PRAY IN THE HOLY SPIRIT.

21 KEEP YOURSELVES IN GOD'S LOVE

AS YOU WAIT FOR THE MERCY OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST

TO BRING YOU TO ETERNAL LIFE.

22 BE MERCIFUL TO THOSE WHO DOUBT;

23 SNATCH OTHERS FROM THE FIRE AND SAVE THEM;

TO OTHERS SHOW MERCY, MIXED WITH FEAR--

HATING EVEN THE CLOTHING

STAINED BY CORRUPTED FLESH.

(Jude 17-23)
