Jude 1:15-25
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 1
15to execute judgment upon all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their ungodly deeds which they have done in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.' 16These are grumblers, finding fault, following after their own lusts; they speak arrogantly, flattering people for the sake of gaining an advantage.
17But you, beloved, ought to remember the words that were spoken beforehand by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ,
18that they were saying to you, 'In the last time there will be mockers, following after their own ungodly lusts.'
19These are the ones who cause divisions, worldly-minded, devoid of the Spirit.
20But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit,
21keep yourselves in the love of God, looking forward to the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life.
22And have mercy on some, who are doubting;
23save others, snatching them out of the fire; and on some have mercy with fear, hating even the garment polluted by the flesh.
King James Version
16These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage.
17But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;
18How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.
19These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.
20But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,
21Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
22And of some have compassion, making a difference:
23And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.

Chapter 1
15to execute judgment on all and to convict all the ungodly concerning all the ungodly acts that they have done in an ungodly way, and concerning all the harsh things ungodly sinners have said against him." 16These people are discontented grumblers, living according to their desires; their mouths utter arrogant words, flattering people for their own advantage.
17But you, dear friends, remember what was predicted by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ.
18They told you, "In the end time there will be scoffers living according to their own ungodly desires."
19These people create divisions and are worldly, not having the Spirit.
20But you, dear friends, as you build yourselves up in your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit,
21keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting expectantly for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ for eternal life.
22Have mercy on those who waver;
23save others by snatching them from the fire; have mercy on others but with fear, hating even the garment defiled by the flesh.
New Living Translation
17But you, my dear friends, must remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ predicted.
18They told you that in the last times there would be scoffers whose purpose in life is to satisfy their ungodly desires.
19These people are the ones who are creating divisions among you. They follow their natural instincts because they do not have God’s Spirit in them.
20But you, dear friends, must build each other up in your most holy faith, pray in the power of the Holy Spirit,
21and await the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, who will bring you eternal life. In this way, you will keep yourselves safe in God’s love.
22And you must show mercy to those whose faith is wavering.
23Rescue others by snatching them from the flames of judgment. Show mercy to still others, but do so with great caution, hating the sins that contaminate their lives.
24Now all glory to God, who is able to keep you from falling away and will bring you with great joy into his glorious presence without a single fault.
25All glory to him who alone is God, our Savior through Jesus Christ our Lord. All glory, majesty, power, and authority are his before all time, and in the present, and beyond all time! Amen.

Chapter 1
15to execute judgment on all and to convict all the ungodly of all their deeds of ungodliness that they have committed in such an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things that ungodly sinners have spoken against him.” 16These are grumblers, malcontents, following their own sinful desires; they are loud-mouthed boasters, showing favoritism to gain advantage.
17But you must remember, beloved, the predictions of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ.
18They said to you, “In the last time there will be scoffers, following their own ungodly passions.”
19It is these who cause divisions, worldly people, devoid of the Spirit.
20But you, beloved, building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit,
21keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life.
22And have mercy on those who doubt;
23save others by snatching them out of the fire; to others show mercy with fear, hating even the garment stained by the flesh.
New International Version
Chapter 1
15to judge everyone, and to convict all of them of all the ungodly acts they have committed in their ungodliness, and of all the defiant words ungodly sinners have spoken against him.' 16These people are grumblers and faultfinders; they follow their own evil desires; they boast about themselves and flatter others for their own advantage.
17But, dear friends, remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ foretold.
18They said to you, 'In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow their own ungodly desires.'
19These are the people who divide you, who follow mere natural instincts and do not have the Spirit.
20But you, dear friends, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit,
21keep yourselves in God's love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life.

18how they told you that there would be mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own ungodly lusts.
19These are sensual persons, who cause divisions, not having the Spirit.
20But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit,
21keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
