Jude 1:16

Read in context

Jude 1:14–18 · Berean Standard Bible

14 Enoch, the seventh from Adam, also prophesied about them: “Behold, the Lord is coming with myriads of His holy ones

15 to execute judgment on everyone, and to convict all the ungodly of every ungodly act of wickedness and every harsh word spoken against Him by ungodly sinners.”

16 These men are discontented grumblers, following after their own lusts; their mouths spew arrogance; they flatter others for their own advantage.

17 But you, beloved, remember what was foretold by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ

18 when they said to you, “In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow after their own ungodly desires.”
