Pray for God’s Wisdom and Understanding,
In Jesus name we pray, Amen.

General Epistles,
(circulated to the churches at large)
James, 1st, 2nd Peter, 1st, 2nd, 3rd John, and Jude.

26. Jude, (1) Chapter.
The author of this short letter warns his readers against the dangers of apostasy, and points to the faithlessness of the Israelites as a reminder of God's judgement. Surrounded as his readers were by moral corruption and apostacizing influences, the author urges them to "contend for the faith" (3), and in a closing benediction he commends them to the One "who is able to keep you from falling" (24). Both the similarity of this letter to 2 Peter and Jude's use of non--Biblical sources (9, 14, 15) have been the subject of much discussion.

Thanking God, for teaching us his Word, In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
