But you, dear friends, remember what was predicted by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;

they told you, "In the end time^(ai) there will be scoffers^(aj) walking according to their own ungodly desires."

These people create divisions and are unbelievers,^[h](ak) not having the Spirit.

But you, dear friends, as you build yourselves up in your most holy faith and pray in the Holy Spirit,^(al)

keep yourselves in the love of God,^(am) expecting the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ for eternal life.

Have mercy on those who doubt;

save others by snatching them from the fire;^(an) have mercy on others but with fear,^(ao) hating^(ap) even the garment^(aq) defiled by the flesh.

Now to Him^(ar) who is able to protect you from stumbling^(as) and to make you stand in the presence of His glory, blameless^(at) and with great joy,

to the only^(au) God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord,^[i] be glory, majesty, power, and authority before all time,^[j] now and forever. Amen.
