Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.
Hey friends, I was planning to write you about the amazing salvation we all share, but I realized I needed to write something more urgent instead. I'm asking you to fight for the faith that was handed down to us — don't let anyone mess with what's been passed down through generations of believers.
Sometimes you have to drop everything and fight for what matters most — your faith is worth defending.
