¹ Jude 02455, the servant 01401 of Jesus 02424 Christ 05547, and 01161 brother 080 of James 02385, to them that are sanctified 037 by 01722 God 02316 the Father 03962, and 02532 preserved 05083 in Jesus 02424 Christ 05547, and called 02822:

² Mercy 01656 to you 05213, and 02532 peace 01515, and 02532 love 026, be multiplied 04129.

³ Beloved 027, when I gave 04160 all 03956 diligence 04710 to write 01125 to you 05213 concerning 04012 the common 02839 salvation 04991, it was 02192 needful 0318 for me 02192 to write 01125 to you 05213, and exhort 03870 you that ye should earnestly contend 01864 for the faith 04102 which was once 0530 delivered 03860 to the saints 040.

⁴ For 01063 certain 05100 men 0444 have crept in unawares 03921, who 03588 were before 04270 of old 03819 ordained 04270 to 01519 this 05124 condemnation 02917, ungodly men 0765, turning 03346 the grace 05485 of our 02257 God 02316 into 01519 lasciviousness 0766, and 02532 denying 0720 the only 03441 Lord 01203 God 02316, and 02532 our 02257 Lord 02962 Jesus 02424 Christ 05547.

⁵ I will 01014 therefore 01161 put 05279 you 05209 in remembrance 05279, though ye 05209 once 0530 knew 01492 this 05124, that 03754 the Lord 02962, having saved 04982 the people 02992 out of 01537 the land 01093 of Egypt 0125, afterward 01208 destroyed 0622 them that believed 04100 not 03361.

⁶ And 05037 the angels 032 who kept 05083 not 03361 their 01438 proper abode 0746, but 0235 left 0620 their own 02398 habitation 03613, he hath reserved 05083 in everlasting 0126 chains 01199 under 05259 darkness 02217 to 01519 the judgment 02920 of the great 03173 day 02250. first estate: or, principality

⁷ Even as 05613 Sodom 04670 and 02532 Gomorrah 01116, and 02532 the cities 04172 about 04012 them 0846 in like 03664, 5125 manner 05158, giving themselves over to gross immorality 01608, and 02532 going 0565 after 03694 strange 02087 flesh 04561, are set forth for 04295 an example 01164, suffering 05254 the vengeance 01349 of eternal 0166 fire 04442. strange: Gr. other

⁸ Likewise 03668, 3305 also 02532 these 03778 filthy dreamers 01797 defile 03392 the flesh 03303, 1161, 4561, despise 0114 dominion 02963, and 01161 speak evil 0987 of dignities 01391.

⁹ Yet 01161 Michael 03413 the archangel 0743, when 03753 contending 01252 with the devil 01228 he disputed 01256 about 04012 the body 04983 of Moses 03475, dared 05111 not 03756 bring against him 02018 a reviling 0988 accusation 02920, but 0235 said 02036, The Lord 02962 rebuke 02008 thee 04671.

¹⁰ But 01161 these 03778 speak evil 0987 of those things which 03745, 3303 they know 01492 not 03756: but 01161 what 03745 they know 01987 naturally 05447, as 05613 brute 0249 beasts 02226, in 01722 those things 05125 they corrupt themselves 05351.

¹¹ Woe 03759 to them 0846! for 03754 they have gone 04198 in the way 03598 of Cain 02535, and 02532 run greedily after 01632 the error 04106 of Balaam 0903 for reward 03408, and 02532 perished 0622 in the gainsaying 0485 of Korah 02879.

¹² These 03778 are 01526 spots 04694 in 01722 your 05216 feasts of charity 026, when they feast 04910 with you 05213, feeding 04165 themselves 01438 without fear 0870: clouds 03507 they are without water 0504, carried about 04064 by 05259 winds 0417; late autumn 05352 trees 01186, without fruit 0175, twice 01364 dead 0599, plucked out by the roots 01610;

¹³ Raging 066 waves 02949 of the sea 02281, foaming out 01890 their own 01438 shame 0152; wandering 04107 stars 0792, to whom 03739 is reserved 05083 the blackness 02217 of darkness 04655 for 01519 ever 0165.

¹⁴ And 01161 Enoch 01802 also 02532, the seventh 01442 from 0575 Adam 076, prophesied 04395 of these 05125, saying 03004, Behold 02400, the Lord 02962 cometh 02064 with 01722 ten thousands 03461 of his 0846 saints 040,

¹⁵ To execute 04160 judgment 02920 upon 02596 all 03956, and 02532 to convict 01827 all 03956 that are ungodly 0765 among them 0846 of 04012 all 03956 their 0846 ungodly 0763 deeds 02041 which 03739 they have impiously committed 0764, and 02532 of 04012 all 03956 their hard 04642 speeches which 03739 ungodly 0765 sinners 0268 have spoken 02980 against 02596 him 0846.

¹⁶ These 03778 are 01526 murmurers 01113, complainers 03202, walking 04198 after 02596 their own 0846 lusts 01939; and 02532 their 0846 mouth 04750 speaketh 02980 great swelling 05246 words, having men’s persons 04383 in admiration 02296 because 05484 of advantage 05622.

¹⁷ But 01161, beloved 027, remember 03415 ye 05210 the words 04487 which 03588 were spoken before 04280 by 05259 the apostles 0652 of our 02257 Lord 02962 Jesus 02424 Christ 05547;

¹⁸ How 03754 that 03754 they told 03004 you 05213 there should be 02071 mockers 01703 in 01722 the last 02078 time 05550, who should walk 04198 after 02596 their own 01438 ungodly 0763 lusts 01939.

¹⁹ These 03778 are 01526 they who separate 0592 themselves 01438, sensual 05591, having 02192 not 03361 the Spirit 04151.

²⁰ But 01161 ye 05210, beloved 027, building up 02026 yourselves 01438 on your 05216 most holy 040 faith 04102, praying 04336 by 01722 the Holy 040 Spirit 04151,

²¹ Keep 05083 yourselves 01438 in 01722 the love 026 of God 02316, looking for 04327 the mercy 01656 of our 02257 Lord 02962 Jesus 02424 Christ 05547 to 01519 eternal 0166 life 02222.

²² And 02532, 3303 of some 03739 have compassion 01653, making a difference 01252:

²³ And 01161 others 03739 save 04982 with 01722 fear 05401, pulling 0726 them out of 01537 the fire 04442; hating 03404 even 02532 the garment 05509 spotted 04695 by 0575 the flesh 04561.

²⁴ Now 01161 to him that is able 01410 to keep 05442 you 05209, 846 from falling 0679, and 02532 to present 02476 you faultless 0299 before the presence 02714 of his 0846 glory 01391 with 01722 exceeding joy 020,

²⁵ To God 02316 the only 03441 wise 04680, our 02257 Saviour 04990, be glory 01391 and 02532 majesty 03172, dominion 02904 and 02532 power 01849, both 02532 now 03568 and 02532 ever 01519, 3956, 165. Amen 0281.
