Jude 17-19
New Catholic Bible
17 Appeal to the Faithful. But you, dear friends, must remember the predictions made by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ.[a] 18 For they said to you, “In the final age there will be scoffers who will follow their own ungodly passions.”[b] 19 It is these people who create divisions, who follow their natural instincts and do not possess the Spirit.

- Jude 1:17 This is a reference to the apostolic preaching received through tradition, to which Jude alluded in v. 3.
- Jude 1:18 Right from the start, the apostolic catechesis had announced that Christians should not be astonished at the appearance of men full of delirium (see Acts 20:29-30). In the final age . . . ungodly passions: this does not seem to be an exact Scripture citation, but see Acts 20:29-31; 1 Tim 4:1; 2 Tim 3:1-5; 4:3; 2 Pet 3:3; see also Mt 24:24; Mk 13:22.
