Jude 1:20–23
A faithful church grows in truth, depends on the Spirit, hopes in Christ’s mercy, and rescues others carefully.
20 But you, beloved, keep building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit.
21 Keep yourselves in God’s love, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life.
22 On some have compassion, making a distinction,
23 and some save, snatching them out of the fire with fear, hating even the clothing stained by the flesh.
A faithful church grows in truth, depends on the Spirit, hopes in Christ’s mercy, and rescues others carefully.
To instruct believers in Spirit-dependent perseverance and discerning mercy toward those endangered by false teaching.
Contend for the Faith, Keep Yourselves in God’s Love, and Rest in the God Who Keeps You
Because ungodly distortion threatens the church, believers must contend for the once-for-all faith with discernment, mercy, and confidence in the God who keeps his people.
