Jude - Part 2 - verses 12-25

• These are spots in your love feasts (supper), while they (evildoers) feast with you without fear, serving only themselves. They are clouds without water, carried about by the winds; late autumn tress without fruit, twice dead, pulled up by the root;
• raging waves of the sea, foaming up their (evildoers) own shame; wandering stars for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever (everlasting separation from God). 
• Now Enoch ( Enoch walked with God and was taken up to heaven), the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men also, saying, "Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of His saints,
• to execute judgment on all to convict all who are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have committed in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him."
• These are grumblers, complainers, walking according to their own lusts; and they mouth great swelling words, flattering people to gain advantage.
• But you, beloved, remember the words which were spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ:
• how they told you that there would by mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own ungodly lusts.
• These (ungodly) are sensual persons, who cause divisions, not having the Spirit (Holy Spirit).
• But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most hold faith (a good foundation), praying in the Holy Spirit,
• keep (obedient) yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
• And on some have compassion, making a distinction;
• but others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire, hating even the garment defiled by the flesh.
• Not to Him (God) who is able to keep you form stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy,
• To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.
