Jude 1:14-16

Contend for the Faith, Keep Yourselves in God’s Love, and Rest in the God Who Keeps You

Jude moves from divine preservation and mercy, to the urgent call to contend for the apostolic faith, to examples of judgment against rebellion, to exposure of ungodly intruders, to the church’s call to persevere in love and mercy, and finally to a doxology celebrating the God who is able to keep his people from falling.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

14Enoch, the seventh from Adam, also prophesied about them: “Behold, the Lord is coming with myriads of His holy ones

15to execute judgment on everyone, and to convict all the ungodly of every ungodly act of wickedness and every harsh word spoken against Him by ungodly sinners.”

16These men are discontented grumblers, following after their own lusts; their mouths spew arrogance; they flatter others for their own advantage.
