THE GENERAL EPISTLE OF JUDE. 1 He exhorteth them to be constant in the profession of the faith. 4 False teachers are crept in to seduce them for whose damnable doctrine and manners horrible punishment is prepared: 20 whereas the godly, by the assistance of the Holy Spirit, and prayers to God, may persevere, and grow in grace, and keep themselves, and recover others out of the snares of those deceivers.
