[1:17] But you must remember, beloved, the predictions of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ.
[1:18] They said to you, “In the last time there will be scoffers, following their own ungodly passions.”
[1:19] It is these who cause divisions, worldly people, devoid of the Spirit.
[1:20] But you, beloved, building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit,
[1:21] keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life.
[1:22] And have mercy on those who doubt;
[1:23] save others by snatching them out of the fire; to others show mercy with fear, hating even the garment stained by the flesh.
