Keep yourselves in the love of God; wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. And convince some, who doubt; save some, by snatching them out of the fire; on some have mercy with fear, hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
-Jude 1:21-23 RSV
I am befuddled. The difference between the translations of Jude 1:22 are dramatic.
But this I do know, living in God’s love is the only way to be a source of harmony in the world.
I was short with my sons today. I was not fully living in God’s love.
Yet, we were productive and achieved much and now we are enjoying some puzzle time before bed.
Although I strive to live more compassionately, there is often a chance to repair mistakes.
