1Jude, a slave of Jesus Christ, and a brother of James: To those who are the called, loved by God the Father and kept by Jesus Christ.G2455G1401G2424G5547G1161G80G2385G37G1722G2316G3962G2532G5083G2424G5547G28222May mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you.G1656G5213G2532G1515G2532G26G41293Dear friends, although I was eager to write you about our common salvation, I found it necessary to write and exhort you to contend for the faith that was delivered to the saints once for all.G27G4160G3956G4710G1125G5213G4012G2839G4991G2192G318G2192G1125G5213G3870G1864G4102G530G3860G404For certain men, who were designated for this judgment long ago, have come in by stealth; they are ungodly, turning the grace of our God into promiscuity and denying our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.G1063G5100G444G3921G3588G4270G3819G4270G1519G5124G2917G765G3346G5485G2257G2316G1519G766G2532G720G3441G1203G2316G2532G2257G2962G2424G55475Now I want to remind you, though you know all these things: the Lord, having first of all saved a people out of Egypt, later destroyed those who did not believe;G1014G1161G5279G5209G5279G5209G530G1492G5124G3754G2962G4982G2992G1537G1093G125G1208G622G4100G33616and He has kept, with eternal chains in darkness for the judgment of the great day, angels who did not keep their own position but deserted their proper dwelling.G5037G32G5083G3361G1438G746G235G620G2398G3613G5083G126G1199G5259G2217G1519G2920G3173G22507In the same way, Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them committed sexual immorality and practiced perversions, just as they did, and serve as an example by undergoing the punishment of eternal fire.G5613G4670G2532G1116G2532G4172G4012G846G3664G5125G5158G1608G2532G565G3694G2087G4561G4295G1164G5254G1349G166G44428Nevertheless, these dreamers likewise defile their flesh, despise authority, and blaspheme glorious beings.G3668G3305G2532G3778G1797G3392G3303G4561G1161G114G2963G1161G987G13919Yet Michael the archangel, when he was disputing with the Devil in a debate about Moses' body, did not dare bring an abusive condemnation against him, but said, "The Lord rebuke you!"G1161G3413G743G3753G1252G1228G1256G4012G4983G3475G5111G3756G2018G988G2920G235G2036G2962G2008G467110But these people blaspheme anything they don't understand, and what they know by instinct, like unreasoning animals— they destroy themselves with these things.G1161G3778G987G3745G3303G1492G3756G1161G3745G1987G5447G5613G249G2226G1722G5125G535111Woe to them! For they have traveled in the way of Cain, have abandoned themselves to the error of Balaam for profit, and have perished in Korah's rebellion.G3759G846G3754G4198G3598G2535G2532G1632G4106G903G3408G2532G622G485G287912These are the ones who are like dangerous reefs at your love feasts. They feast with you, nurturing only themselves without fear. They are waterless clouds carried along by winds; trees in late autumn— fruitless, twice dead, pulled out by the roots;G3778G1526G4694G1722G5216G26G4910G5213G4165G1438G870G3507G504G4064G5259G417G1186G5352G175G1364G599G161013wild waves of the sea, foaming up their shameful deeds; wandering stars for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever!G66G2949G2281G1890G1438G152G4107G792G3739G5083G2217G4655G1519G16514And Enoch, in the seventh [generation] from Adam, prophesied about them: Look! The Lord comes with thousands of His holy onesG1161G1802G2532G1442G575G76G4395G5125G3004G2400G2962G2064G1722G3461G846G4015to execute judgment on all, and to convict them of all their ungodly deeds that they have done in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things ungodly sinners have said against Him.G4160G2920G2596G3956G2532G1827G3956G765G846G4012G3956G846G763G2041G3739G764G2532G4012G3956G4642G3739G765G268G2980G2596G84616These people are discontented grumblers, walking according to their desires; their mouths utter arrogant words, flattering people for their own advantage.G3778G1526G1113G3202G4198G2596G846G1939G2532G846G4750G2980G5246G4383G2296G5484G562217But you, dear friends, remember the words foretold by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;G1161G27G3415G5210G4487G3588G4280G5259G652G2257G2962G2424G554718they told you, "In the end time there will be scoffers walking according to their own ungodly desires."G3754G3754G3004G5213G2071G1703G1722G2078G5550G4198G2596G1438G763G193919These people create divisions and are merely natural, not having the Spirit.G3778G1526G592G1438G5591G2192G3361G415120But you, dear friends, building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit,G1161G5210G27G2026G1438G5216G40G4102G4336G1722G40G415121keep yourselves in the love of God, expecting the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ for eternal life.G5083G1438G1722G26G2316G4327G1656G2257G2962G2424G5547G1519G166G222222Have mercy on some who doubt;G2532G3303G3739G1653G125223save others by snatching [them] from the fire; on others have mercy in fear, hating even the garment defiled by the flesh.G1161G3739G4982G1722G5401G726G1537G4442G3404G2532G5509G4695G575G456124Now to Him who is able to protect you from stumbling and to make you stand in the presence of His glory, blameless and with great joy,G1161G1410G5442G5209G846G679G2532G2476G299G2714G846G1391G1722G2025to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, power, and authority before all time, now, and forever.
