¹⁷But remember, my friends, what you were told in the past by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ. ¹⁸They said to you, “When the last days come, people will appear who will mock you, people who follow their own godless desires.” ¹⁹These are the people who cause divisions, who are controlled by their natural desires, who do not have the Spirit. ²⁰But you, my friends, keep on building yourselves up on your most sacred faith. Pray in the power of the Holy Spirit, ²¹and keep yourselves in the love of God, as you wait for our Lord Jesus Christ in his mercy to give you eternal life.

²²Show mercy towards those who have doubts; ²³save others by snatching them out of the fire; and to others show mercy mixed with fear, but hate their very clothes, stained by their sinful lusts.

Prayer of Praise
