Jude 1:24-25

📝Summary & Overview
Jude originally planned to write about salvation but instead urgently warns about false teachers who have slipped into the community. He draws on examples of divine judgment (fallen angels, Sodom, Korah) and quotes the non-canonical Book of Enoch. His closing doxology — 'To him who is able to keep you from stumbling' — is one of the most beautiful benedictions in the New Testament and is widely used in Catholic worship.
