1From Jude, servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James - To those who have been called by God, who live in the love of God the Father and the protection of Jesus Christ:G2455G1401G2424G5547G1161G80G2385G37G1722G2316G3962G2532G5083G2424G5547G2822

False Teachers

3My dear friends, I was doing my best to write to you about the salvation we share in common, when I felt the need of writing at once to encourage you to fight on for the faith which once and for all God has given to his people.G27G4160G3956G4710G1125G5213G4012G2839G4991G2192G318G2192G1125G5213G3870G1864G4102G530G3860G40
4For some godless people have slipped in unnoticed among us, persons who distort the message about the grace of our God in order to excuse their immoral ways, and who reject Jesus Christ, our only Master and Lord. Long ago the Scriptures predicted the condemnation they have received.G1063G5100G444G3921G3588G4270G3819G4270G1519G5124G2917G765G3346G5485G2257G2316G1519G766G2532G720G3441G1203G2316G2532G2257G2962G2424G5547
5For even though you know all this, I want to remind you of how the Lord once rescued the people of Israel from Egypt, but afterward destroyed those who did not believe.G1014G1161G5279G5209G5279G5209G530G1492G5124G3754G2962G4982G2992G1537G1093G125G1208G622G4100G3361
6Remember the angels who did not stay within the limits of their proper authority, but abandoned their own dwelling place: they are bound with eternal chains in the darkness below, where God is keeping them for that great Day on which they will be condemned.G5037G32G5083G3361G1438G746G235G620G2398G3613G5083G126G1199G5259G2217G1519G2920G3173G2250
7Remember Sodom and Gomorrah, and the nearby towns, whose people acted as those angels did and indulged in sexual immorality and perversion: they suffer the punishment of eternal fire as a plain warning to all.G5613G4670G2532G1116G2532G4172G4012G846G3664G5125G5158G1608G2532G565G3694G2087G4561G4295G1164G5254G1349G166G4442
8In the same way also, these people have visions which make them sin against their own bodies; they despise God's authority and insult the glorious beings above.G3668G3305G2532G3778G1797G3392G3303G4561G1161G114G2963G1161G987G1391
9Not even the chief angel Michael did this. In his quarrel with the Devil, when they argued about who would have the body of Moses, Michael did not dare condemn the Devil with insulting words, but said, "The Lord rebuke you!"G1161G3413G743G3753G1252G1228G1256G4012G4983G3475G5111G3756G2018G988G2920G235G2036G2962G2008G4671
10But these people attack with insults anything they do not understand; and those things that they know by instinct, like wild animals, are the very things that destroy them.G1161G3778G987G3745G3303G1492G3756G1161G3745G1987G5447G5613G249G2226G1722G5125G5351
11How terrible for them! They have followed the way that Cain took. For the sake of money they have given themselves over to the error that Balaam committed. They have rebelled as Korah rebelled, and like him they are destroyed.G3759G846G3754G4198G3598G2535G2532G1632G4106G903G3408G2532G622G485G2879
12With their shameless carousing they are like dirty spots in your fellowship meals. They take care only of themselves. They are like clouds carried along by the wind, but bringing no rain. They are like trees that bear no fruit, even in autumn, trees that have been pulled up by the roots and are completely dead.G3778G1526G4694G1722G5216G26G4910G5213G4165G1438G870G3507G504G4064G5259G417G1186G5352G175G1364G599G1610
13They are like wild waves of the sea, with their shameful deeds showing up like foam. They are like wandering stars, for whom God has reserved a place forever in the deepest darkness.G66G2949G2281G1890G1438G152G4107G792G3739G5083G2217G4655G1519G165
14It was Enoch, the seventh direct descendant from Adam, who long ago prophesied this about them: "The Lord will come with many thousands of his holy angelsG1161G1802G2532G1442G575G76G4395G5125G3004G2400G2962G2064G1722G3461G846G40
15to bring judgment on all, to condemn them all for the godless deeds they have performed and for all the terrible words that godless sinners have spoken against him!"G4160G2920G2596G3956G2532G1827G3956G765G846G4012G3956G846G763G2041G3739G764G2532G4012G3956G4642G3739G765G268G2980G2596G846
16These people are always grumbling and blaming others; they follow their own evil desires; they brag about themselves and flatter others in order to get their own way.G3778G1526G1113G3202G4198G2596G846G1939G2532G846G4750G2980G5246G4383G2296G5484G5622

Warnings and Instructions

17But remember, my friends, what you were told in the past by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ.G1161G27G3415G5210G4487G3588G4280G5259G652G2257G2962G2424G5547
18They said to you, "When the last days come, people will appear who will make fun of you, people who follow their own godless desires."G3754G3754G3004G5213G2071G1703G1722G2078G5550G4198G2596G1438G763G1939
19These are the people who cause divisions, who are controlled by their natural desires, who do not have the Spirit.G3778G1526G592G1438G5591G2192G3361G4151
20But you, my friends, keep on building yourselves up on your most sacred faith. Pray in the power of the Holy Spirit,G1161G5210G27G2026G1438G5216G40G4102G4336G1722G40G4151
21and keep yourselves in the love of God, as you wait for our Lord Jesus Christ in his mercy to give you eternal life.G5083G1438G1722G26G2316G4327G1656G2257G2962G2424G5547G1519G166G2222
22Show mercy toward those who have doubts;G2532G3303G3739G1653G1252
23save others by snatching them out of the fire; and to others show mercy mixed with fear, but hate their very clothes, stained by their sinful lusts.G1161G3739G4982G1722G5401G726G1537G4442G3404G2532G5509G4695G575G4561

Prayer of Praise

24To him who is able to keep you from falling and to bring you faultless and joyful before his glorious presence -G1161G1410G5442G5209G846G679G2532G2476G299G2714G846G1391G1722G20
25to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, might, and authority, from all ages past, and now, and forever and ever! Amen.G3441G4680G2316G2257G4990G1391G2532G3172G2904G2532G1849G2532G3568G2532G1519G3956G165G281
