Yud 1:17–23

1:17 Keep your faith and keep ministering to others

17 But you, friends, always be thinking about how the missionaries of our master Yeshua (Jesus; Grk. Yesus) the messiah 18 told you that mockers near the end of time would come out following their own god-rejecting lusts.[ref] 19 These people will cause division as they just demonstrate sensuality since they don’t know God’s spirit. 20 But you, friends, work to increase your faith in God, praying as the holy spirit helps you. 21 Keep receiving God’s love as you look forward to living forever thanks to the mercy of our master, Yeshua the messiah.

22 Show grace to those still doubting 23 whereas others need to be ‘snatched out of the fire’ in order to be saved. To some, show mercy but very carefully, hating even their clothes which reflect their crude lifestyles.
