19 These are the people who divide you, who follow mere natural instincts and do not have the Spirit.(A)

20 But you, dear friends, by building yourselves up(B) in your most holy faith(C) and praying in the Holy Spirit,(D) 21 keep yourselves in God’s love as you wait(E) for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life.(F)

22 Be merciful to those who doubt; 23 save others by snatching them from the fire;(G) to others show mercy, mixed with fear—hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh.[a](H)

Doxology

24 To him who is able(I) to keep you from stumbling and to present you before his glorious presence(J) without fault(K) and with great joy— 25 to the only God(L) our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore!(M) Amen.(N)
