16. These are murmurers and complainers, walking after their lusts (and their mouth speaks proud things), showing respect of persons to gain advantage.
17. But you, beloved, remember the words which have been spoken before by the emissaries of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah.
18. They said to you, “In the last time there will be mockers, walking after their own ungodly lusts.”
19. These are they who cause divisions, and are sensual, not having the Spirit.
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 Yeshua the Messiah 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.
24. Now to him who is able to keep them from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory in great joy,
25. to God our Savior, who alone is wise, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever. Amen.
