micsoda párhuzam..
Járuljatok Őhozzá, mint élő kőhöz, akit emberek a próbán elvetettek ugyan, de aki Istennél kiválasztott, megbecsült.
Ti is, mint élő kövek épüljetek szellemi házzá, szent papsággá, hogy... szellemi áldozatokat vihessetek fel, melyeket Isten a Felkent Jézuson át szívesen fogad.

He proclaimed a solemn day of prayer and fasting in which he called his nation to petition God for deliverance. John Wesley records in his Journal for Friday 6th February 1756 that "The fast day was a glorious day, such as London has scarce seen since the Restoration.

Despite acting subversively rather than openly, false teachers can easily be identified by their godlessness. They are “grumblers, malcontents, following their own sinful desires” (Jude 16). Jude reminds his readers, and us, that the apostles predicted that such false teachers would arise (vv. 17–18). The church must not be swept into falsehood and godlessness but must persevere in the love of God (v. 21), receiving mercy from Jesus and extending mercy to others (vv. 22–23).
