Weymouth New Testament in Modern Speech, Jude

"Weymouth New Testament in Modern Speech, Jude" by Richard Francis Weymouth is a modern translation of the Biblical epistle of Jude, published in the early 20th century. This publication is a religious text that offers an accessible interpretation of Jude's message, emphasizing its relevance for contemporary readers. The book is aimed at providing an understanding of Jude’s warnings against false teachers and the importance of maintaining faith within the early Christian community. In this letter, Jude identifies himself as a servant of Jesus Christ and introduces a call to action for believers to defend their faith against those who distort it. He warns of ungodly individuals who have infiltrated the church, drawing parallels to historical examples of judgment from scripture, including the downfall of the Israelites in Egypt and the fate of Sodom and Gomorrah. Jude encourages his readers to build themselves up in their faith, remain vigilant, and show compassion towards those who stray, while also assuring them of God’s ability to preserve them. The message culminates in a doxology that praises God’s everlasting power and dominion. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
