16These are the men who make trouble, ever desiring change, going after evil pleasures, using high-sounding words, respecting men's position in the hope of reward.
17But you, my loved ones, keep in memory the words which were said before by the Apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ,
18How they said to you, In the last days there will be men who, guided by their evil desires, will make sport of holy things.
19These are the men who make divisions, natural men, not having the Spirit.
20But you, my loved ones, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, and making prayers in the Holy Spirit,
21Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for life eternal through the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ.
