18 how they told you that athere would be mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own ungodly lusts.  
19 These are1 sensual persons, who cause divisions, not having the Spirit.  

Maintain Your Life with God

20 But you, beloved, abuilding yourselves up on your most holy faith, bpraying in the Holy Spirit,  
21 keep yourselves in the love of God, alooking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.  
22 And on some have compassion,1 making a distinction;  
23 but aothers save with fear, bpulling them out of the fire, hating even cthe garment defiled by the flesh.

Jude 1:20

Building up (epoikodomountev). Present active participle of epoikodomew, old compound with metaphor of a house (oikov), common in Paul (I Corinthians 3:9-17; Colossians 2:7; Ephesians 2:20).

On your most holy faith (th agiwtath umwn pistei). For the spiritual temple see also I Peter 2:3-5. See pistiv (faith) in this sense (cf. Hebrews 11:1) in II Peter 1:5 with the list of graces added. A true superlative here agiwtath, not elative.

Praying in the Holy Spirit (en pneumati agiw proseuxomenoi). This is the way to build themselves up on their faith.
