16. These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage.
17. But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;
18. That they told you there would be mockers in the last time, who would walk after their own ungodly lusts.
19. These are they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.
20. But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying by the Holy Spirit,
21. Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life.
22. And of some have compassion, making a difference:
23. And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
24. Now to him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,
25. To God the only wise, our Savior, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.
