22 And you must show mercy to[a] those whose faith is wavering. 23 Rescue others by snatching them from the flames of judgment. Show mercy to still others,[b] but do so with great caution, hating the sins that contaminate their lives.[c]

A Prayer of Praise

24 Now all glory to God, who is able to keep you from falling away and will bring you with great joy into his glorious presence without a single fault.
