About This Book

An urgent exhortation to defend the apostolic faith against corrupt intruders, addressed to believers and framed as a short epistle. The writer warns of ungodly persons who pervert grace, gives scriptural examples of judgment (the Exodus, fallen angels, Sodom and Gomorrah, Cain, Balaam, Korah), and criticizes boastful, sensual, divisive teachers. The letter urges readers to build themselves up in holy faith, pray in the Spirit, keep themselves in God's love, and act charitably but discerningly toward those led astray—seeking to convince some, rescue others, and show wary compassion toward the hopeless. It closes with a doxology affirming God's power to preserve believers and praising divine majesty and mercy.
