May his blessing be upon us.

Jude 1 : 17 - 25
Chapter 1
| 17 | But you, beloved, remember the words which were spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ:
|
| 18 | how they told you that there would be mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own ungodly lusts.
|
| 19 | These are sensual persons, who cause divisions, not having the Spirit.
|
| 20 | But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit,
|
| 21 | keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
|
| 22 | And on some have compassion, making a distinction;
|
| 23 | but others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire, hating even the garment defiled by the flesh.
|
| 24 | Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy,
|
| 25 | To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.
|
Do not love the world or the things in the world.
The world passes away, and its desires; but he who does the will of God abides forever.
Amen.
