Jude 17-25
New King James Version
17 (A)But you, beloved, remember the words which were spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ: 18 how they told you that (B)there would be mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own ungodly lusts. 19 These are [a]sensual persons, who cause divisions, not having the Spirit.
Maintain Your Life with God
20 But you, beloved, (C)building yourselves up on your most holy faith, (D)praying in the Holy Spirit, 21 keep yourselves in the love of God, (E)looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
22 And on some have compassion, [b]making a distinction; 23 but (F)others save [c]with fear, (G)pulling them out of the [d]fire, hating even (H)the garment defiled by the flesh.
Glory to God
24 (I)Now to Him who is able to keep [e]you from stumbling,
And (J)to present you faultless
Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy,
25 To [f]God our Savior,
[g]Who alone is wise,
Be glory and majesty,
Dominion and [h]power,
Both now and forever.
Amen.

Jude 17-25
New International Version
A Call to Persevere
17 But, dear friends, remember what the apostles(A) of our Lord Jesus Christ foretold.(B) 18 They said to you, “In the last times(C) there will be scoffers who will follow their own ungodly desires.”(D) 19 These are the people who divide you, who follow mere natural instincts and do not have the Spirit.(E)
20 But you, dear friends, by building yourselves up(F) in your most holy faith(G) and praying in the Holy Spirit,(H) 21 keep yourselves in God’s love as you wait(I) for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life.(J)
22 Be merciful to those who doubt; 23 save others by snatching them from the fire;(K) to others show mercy, mixed with fear—hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh.[a](L)
Doxology
24 To him who is able(M) to keep you from stumbling and to present you before his glorious presence(N) without fault(O) and with great joy— 25 to the only God(P) our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore!(Q) Amen.(R)
