A Call to Persevere

(Hebrews 10:19–39, 2 Peter 3:1–7)

But you, beloved, remember what vvv vvv 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 vvv ungodly desires.”[fn] 19 These are the [ones who] cause divisions,[fn] [who are] worldly vvv [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.

22 

And indeed, have mercy on some, making a distinction;[fn] 23 save others with fear[fn] by snatching [them] from [the] fire,[fn] hating even the clothing stained by the flesh.
