Jude
, a
servant
of Jesus Christ and
a brother of James, To those who
are
called,
loved
by
God the Father, and kept
in Jesus Christ :
Judas
, of Jesus Christ a servant,
and
brother of James, to those sanctified
in
God the Father, and in Jesus Christ kept
--
called,
Mercy
, peace, and love be multiplied to
you.
kindness
to
you
, and
peace, and love ,
be multiplied !
Beloved, although
I
made
every
effort
to write to you about
the salvation we
share
, I felt
it
necessary
to write and
urge
you to contend
earnestly
for the faith entrusted
once for
all
to the saints .
Beloved, all
diligence
using
to write to you concerning
the common
salvation, I had
necessity
to write to
you ,
exhorting
to agonize
for the faith once delivered
to the saints ,
For certain men have
crept
in
among
you
unnoticed—ungodly
ones
who
were
designated
long ago for
condemnation.
They
turn
the grace of our God into
a
license
for
immorality
, and they
deny
our only Master and Lord ,
Jesus Christ .
for there
did
come
in
unobserved
certain men ,
long ago having
been
written
beforehand
to
this
judgment,
impious,
the grace of our God perverting
to
lasciviousness
, and our only Master ,
God,
and Lord --
Jesus Christ --
denying,
Although
you
are
fully
aware
of
this,
I
want
to remind you that after
Jesus
had
delivered
His
people out of the land of Egypt, He
destroyed
those who did not believe .
and
to remind you I
intend,
you
knowing
once
this,
that the
Lord,
a
people out of the land of Egypt having
saved
, again
those who did not believe did
destroy;
And
the
angels
who did not stay
within
their own domain
but abandoned
their proper dwelling —these
He
has
kept
in
eternal
chains
under
darkness
, bound
for
judgment on
that
great day .
messengers
also,
those
who did not keep
their own principality,
but did
leave
their proper dwelling, to
a
judgment of
a
great day ,
in
bonds
everlasting,
under
darkness
He
hath
kept,
In
like
manner,
Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them, who
indulged
in sexual
immorality
and pursued
strange
flesh, are
on
display
as
an example of
those
who
sustain
the
punishment
of eternal
fire.
as
Sodom and Gomorrah ,
and the cities around them, in like
manner
to
these,
having
given
themselves
to
whoredom,
and gone
after
other
flesh, have
been
set
before
--
an example ,
of fire age-during,
justice
suffering
.
Yet
in the same
way
these
dreamers
defile their
bodies
, reject
authority
, and slander
glorious
beings.
In like
manner,
nevertheless,
those
dreaming
also
the flesh
indeed
do
defile, and
lordship
they
put
away
, and dignities
they
speak
evil
of,
But
even
the
archangel
Michael, when he
disputed
with the devil over
the body of Moses, did not presume
to bring a
slanderous
charge
against
him
, but said, “
The Lord rebuke you
! ”
yet
Michael, the
chief
messenger,
when ,
with the devil contending,
he
was
disputing
about
the body of Moses, did not dare
to bring up
an
evil-speaking
judgment
, but said, `
The Lord rebuke thee
! '
These men
, however,
slander
what
they do
not understand
, and like
irrational animals,
they will
be
destroyed
by
the
things
they do
instinctively.
and
these, as
many
things
indeed
as
they have
not known
, they
speak
evil
of;
and as
many
things
as
naturally
(as
the
irrational beasts)
they understand,
in
these
they are
corrupted;
Woe
to them! They
have
traveled
the path
of Cain ;
they have
rushed
headlong
into
the error
of Balaam ;
they have
perished
in Korah’s
rebellion
.
wo
to them! because
in
the way
of Cain they did
go
on,
and
to
the deceit
of Balaam for
reward
they did
rush,
and
in the
gainsaying
of
Korah
they
did
perish
.
These men
are hidden
reefs
in your love feasts ,
shamelessly
feasting with you but
shepherding only
themselves .
They
are
clouds without water, carried
along
by the
wind
; fruitless
trees in
autumn
, twice dead after
being
uprooted.
These are in your love -
feasts craggy
rocks;
feasting together
with you ,
without
fear
shepherding themselves ;
clouds without water, by winds
carried
about
; trees autumnal
, without
fruit,
twice dead ,
rooted
up;
They
are
wild waves of the
sea, foaming up
their own shame
; wandering
stars, for
whom blackest
darkness has
been reserved
forever
.
wild waves of a
sea, foaming out
their own shames
; stars going
astray
, to
whom the
gloom
of
the
darkness to
the
age
hath
been kept
.
Enoch,
the seventh from Adam, also
prophesied
about
them:
“Behold
, the Lord is
coming
with
myriads
of
His holy
ones
And
prophesy
also
to
these
did
the seventh from Adam --
Enoch
--
saying
, `Lo
, the Lord did
come
in
His saintly
myriads,
to execute
judgment on
everyone
, and to convict all the
ungodly
of
every
ungodly
act
of wickedness
and every
harsh
word
spoken
against Him by
ungodly
sinners. ”
to do
judgment against
all
, and to convict all their
impious
ones,
concerning
all
their
works
of impiety
that
they
did
impiously,
and concerning
all
the
stiff
things
that
speak
against Him did
impious
sinners. '
These men
are discontented
grumblers
, following
after
their
own
lusts
; their mouths
spew
arrogance;
they
flatter
others
for
their own
advantage.
These are murmurers
, repiners
; according
to
their desires
walking,
and
their mouth
doth
speak
great
swellings,
giving
admiration
to
persons
for
the
sake
of
profit;
But
you
, beloved, remember what
was
foretold
by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ
and
ye
, beloved, remember ye
the
sayings
spoken
before
by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ :
when
they said to you, “
In the last times
there will
be scoffers who
will
follow
after their own ungodly
desires .”
that
they said to you, that
in the last time
there shall
be scoffers ,
after their own desires of
impieties
going
on,
These are the
ones
who
cause
divisions
, who
are
worldly
and
devoid
of
the Spirit.
these are those
setting
themselves
apart
, natural
men,
the Spirit not
having
.
But
you
, beloved, by
building
yourselves
up
in
your most holy faith and
praying
in the Holy Spirit,
And
ye
, beloved, on
your most holy faith building
yourselves
up,
in the Holy Spirit praying
,
keep
yourselves in the love of God as
you
await
the mercy
of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring
you
eternal
life .
yourselves in the love of God keep
ye,
waiting
for
the kindness
of our Lord Jesus Christ --
to life age-during;
And indeed
, have
mercy
on
those
who
doubt;
and to
some
be
kind
, judging
thoroughly,
save others
by
snatching
them
from
the fire ;
and
to
still
others
show
mercy
tempered
with
fear
, hating even the clothing
stained
by
the flesh.
and
some
in
fear
save ye,
out
of
the fire snatching
, hating even the coat
from
the flesh spotted
.
Now
to Him who is able to keep
you from
stumbling and to present
you unblemished
in His
glorious
presence, with
great
joy—
And
to Him who is able to guard
you not
stumbling ,
and to set
`
you '
in the
presence of
His
glory
unblemished
, in
gladness,
to the only God our Savior
be
glory,
majesty
, dominion
, and authority through
Jesus
Christ
our
Lord
before
all
time
, and
now ,
and for
all eternity.
Amen.
to the only wise
God our Saviour
, `is'
glory
and
greatness
, power
and authority, both
now and to
all the
ages!
Amen.
