Jude 1:19

هَدوك هومَ اللي يَتسَبّبو للأُخرين باش يَنقَسمو، يَمشيو بغَريزَتهُم، ما عَندهُمش حْياة روح.
What Does This Mean?

Explained for Children
Imagine a group of kids who always play alone and think only about getting more toys. They don't share or care about playing nicely with others. That's like what Jude is saying about some people who miss out on the best parts of life because they're selfish and don't have God’s help.
