But you, ^(C1)beloved, ^(C2)ought to remember the words that were spoken beforehand by ^(C3)the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ,

that they were saying to you, "^(C1)In the last time there will be mockers, ^(C2)following after their own ungodly lusts."

These are the ones who cause divisions, ^(F1)(C1)worldly-minded, ^(F2)devoid of the Spirit.

But you, ^(C1)beloved, ^(C2)building yourselves up on your most holy ^(C1)faith, ^(C3)praying in the Holy Spirit,

keep yourselves in the love of God, ^(C1)looking forward to the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life.

And have mercy on some, who are doubting;

save others, ^(C1)snatching them out of the fire; and on some have mercy with fear, ^(C2)hating even the garment polluted by the flesh.

^(C1)Now to Him who is able to protect you from stumbling, and to ^(C2)make you stand in the presence of His glory, blameless with ^(C3)great joy,

to the ^(C1)only ^(C2)God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, ^(C3)be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority ^(C4)before all time and now and ^(F1)forever. Amen.
