Jude 1:20

A Call To Persevere

¹⁹ These are those who cause divisions. They are men of the world, wholly unspiritual. ²⁰ But you, my dearly-loved friends, building yourselves up on the basis of your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, ²¹ must keep yourselves safe in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ which will result in the Life of the Ages.
