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
17But you, beloved, remember what was foretold by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ
18when they said to you, “In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow after their own ungodly desires.”
19These are the ones who cause divisions, who are worldly and devoid of the Spirit.
