“But you, beloved, building up yourselves

on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,

Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for

the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

And of some have compassion, making a difference:

And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire…”

—Jude 20-23
