彼自我而出、但非屬我者、若其屬我、則恆偕我矣、然其出也、乃顯其皆非屬我也、

彼離我而出、非我友也、若我友必恆偕我、出則非我友也明矣、

彼離我儕而出、原非屬我儕、若屬我儕、則必恆偕我、彼出、乃明非皆屬我儕者、

此輩雖自吾儕中出、然自始非吾道中人；若真屬吾道中人、則應始終與吾儕相偕；今若輩半途而廢、與我分道、則其本非吾道中人、彰彰明矣。

Even men from your own people will rise up and twist the truth. They want to get the believers to follow them.

Do you really think you need to take sides? You probably think God favors one side over the other!

I do not mean that God’s word has failed. Not everyone in the family line of Israel really belongs to Israel.

I give them eternal life, and they will never die. No one will steal them out of my hand.My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than anyone. No one can steal them out of my Father’s hand.I and the Father are one.”

Even my close friend, someone I trusted, has failed me. I even shared my bread with him.

They won’t get very far. Just like Jannes and Jambres, their foolish ways will be clear to everyone.

You have been chosen in keeping with what God the Father had planned. That happened through the Spirit’s work to make you pure and holy. God chose you so that you might obey Jesus Christ. God wanted you to be in a covenant relationship with him. He established this relationship by the blood of Christ. May more and more grace and peace be given to you.Give praise to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. In his great mercy he has given us a new birth and a living hope. This hope is living because Jesus Christ rose from the dead.He has given us new birth so that we might share in what belongs to him. This is a gift that can never be destroyed. It can never spoil or even fade away. It is kept in heaven for you.Through faith you are kept safe by God’s power. Your salvation is going to be completed. It is ready to be shown to you in the last days.

The seed that fell on rocky places is like other people. They hear the message and at once receive it with joy.But they have no roots. So they last only a short time. They quickly fall away from the faith when trouble or suffering comes because of the message.

He cuts off every branch joined to me that does not bear fruit. He trims every branch that does bear fruit. Then it will bear even more fruit.

False messiahs and false prophets will appear. They will do great signs and miracles. They will try to fool God’s chosen people if possible.

Some are also faithful today. They have been chosen by God’s grace.And if they are chosen by grace, then they can’t work for it. If that were true, grace wouldn’t be grace anymore.

Everyone the Father gives me will come to me. I will never send away anyone who comes to me.I have not come down from heaven to do what I want to do. I have come to do what the one who sent me wants me to do.The one who sent me doesn’t want me to lose anyone he has given me. He wants me to raise them up on the last day.

We have heard that some of our people came to you and caused trouble. You were upset by what they said. But we had given them no authority to go.

I, Jude, am writing this letter. I serve Jesus Christ. I am a brother of James. I am sending this letter to you who have been chosen by God. You are loved by God the Father. You are kept safe for Jesus Christ.

They may have escaped the sin of the world. They may have come to know our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. But what if they are once again caught up in sin? And what if it has become their master? Then they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning.Suppose they had not known the way of godliness. This would have been better than to know godliness and then turn away from it. The way of godliness is the sacred command passed on to them.

But we don’t belong to the people who pull back and are destroyed. We belong to the people who believe and are saved.
