Jude 1:19

Fellowship and the church The Holy Spirit

¹⁷ But you, beloved, remember what was foretold by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ

¹⁸ when they said to you, “In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow after their own ungodly desires.”

These are the ones who cause divisions, who are worldly and devoid of the Spirit.

²⁰ But you, beloved, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit,

²¹ keep yourselves in the love of God as you await the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you eternal life.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
