Jude 1:17-23 - A Call To Persevere
17 As for you, my beloved, remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ have formerly told you. 18 for they assur'd you, there would be impostors in the last days, who would follow their own impious passions. 19 these are they who distinguish themselves, though they are sensual, and have nothing that is spiritual.
20 but you, my brethren, improve yourselves in your most holy faith, present your addresses by the holy spirit, 21 and thereby cultivate the divine favour, in the expectation of eternal life by the mercy of Jesus Christ our Lord. 22 Make use of your discernment; some reprove: 23 of others be compassionately tender, snatching them, as it were, out of the fire: and avoid even the garment of the infected.
