Jude 1:20-23 in Translation for Translators

20 But you people whom I love, ◄hold/continue to trust► firmly to the very sacred truths that you believe. Pray by letting the Holy Spirit enable/empower you.
21 Keep conducting your lives in a way that is appropriate for those whom God loves. Keep constantly expecting that our Lord Jesus Christ will act mercifully toward you. Keep expecting that until the time when we begin living eternally with him.
22 Mercifully help those who are not certain what teaching they should believe.
23 Rescue others from the influence of those who teach what is false MET, as you would rescue things by snatching them from a fire. Pity those whom the teachers of false doctrine have completely convinced, but beware that you yourselves are not influenced by them {that they do not influence you}. Detest doing or even thinking about the sins that those people commit, just like you would detest MET touching not only filthy things but the clothes that were stained by those things {that those things stained}.

Jude 1:20-23 in Plain English Version

20 But, my friends, I know you believe the message that comes from God himself. And you have to do everything that you can do to believe it more and more strongly. You have to help each other to believe this message. And you have to let God’s spirit show you how to pray.
21 Always remember that God loves you. You have to love him too. And you have to love other people. You have to love, like this, while we wait for our leader, Jesus Christ. He is very sorry for you and good to you, so he will let you live with him for ever.
22 Some people aren’t sure whether God’s message is true. You have to be good to those people. You have to try to help them.
23 Some people are turning away from God and doing bad things. If they turn away and don’t come back to God, he will punish them in the fire. So you have to try to stop these people. Then you will save them, like you will pull them out of that fire. Some of them do a lot of bad things and they are in trouble. You have to try and help these people, but don’t be like them. Don’t get yourself into trouble. It is like they are wearing very dirty clothes, so you have to be careful and don’t touch those dirty clothes. Don’t get yourself dirty.
