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
20 But you, beloved, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit,
21 keep yourselves in the love of God as you await the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you eternal life.
22 And indeed, have mercy on those who doubt;
23 save others by snatching them from the fire; and to still others show mercy tempered with fear, hating even the clothing stained by the flesh.
