Suppose you see your fellow believer sinning (sin that does not lead to eternal death). You should pray for them. Then God will give them life. I am talking about people whose sin does not lead to eternal death. There is sin that leads to death. I don't mean that you should pray about that kind of sin.

We know that those who have been made God's children do not continue to sin. The Son of God keeps them safe. The Evil One cannot hurt them.

We know that we belong to God, but the Evil One controls the whole world.

And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding. So now we can know the one who is true, and we live in that true God. We are in his Son, Jesus Christ. He is the true God, and he is eternal life.

Greetings from the Elder. To the lady chosen by God and to her children. I truly love all of you. And I am not the only one. All those who know the truth love you in the same way.

Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us from God the Father and from his Son, Jesus Christ, as we live in truth and love.

Everyone must continue to follow only the teaching about Christ. Whoever changes that teaching does not have God. But whoever continues to follow the teaching about Christ has both the Father and his Son.

The children of your sister who was chosen by God send you their love.

They told the church about the love you have. Please help them to continue their trip. Help them in a way that will please God.

My dear friend, don't follow what is bad; follow what is good. Whoever does what is good is from God. But whoever does evil has never known God.

Greetings from Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ and a brother of James. To those who have been chosen and are loved by God the Father and have been kept safe in Jesus Christ.

Dear friends, I wanted very much to write to you about the salvation we all share together. But I felt the need to write to you about something else: I want to encourage you to fight hard for the faith that God gave his holy people. God gave this faith once, and it is good for all time.

Some people have secretly entered your group. These people have already been judged guilty for what they are doing. Long ago the prophets wrote about them. They are against God. They have used the grace of our God in the wrong way—to do sinful things. They refuse to follow Jesus Christ, our only Master and Lord.

It will be bad for them. They have followed the way that Cain went. To make money, they have given themselves to following the wrong way that Balaam went. They have fought against God like Korah did. And like Korah, they will be destroyed.

They told you, "In the last times there will be people who laugh at God and do only what they want to do—things that are against God."

God is strong and can keep you from falling. He can bring you before his glory without any wrong in you and give you great joy.

He is the only God, the one who saves us. To him be glory, greatness, power, and authority through Jesus Christ our Lord for all time past, now, and forever. Amen.

This is a revelation from Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants what must happen soon. And Christ sent his angel to show it to his servant John,

who has told everything he saw. It is the truth that Jesus Christ told him; it is the message from God.

Great blessings belong to the person who reads the words of this message from God and to those who hear this message and do what is written in it. There is not much time left.
