Jude 1 Jude 1 1. Jude <2455>, the servant <1401> of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, and brother <80> of James <2385>, to them that are sanctified <37> by God <2316> the Father <3962>, and preserved <5083> in Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, [and] called <2822>: 2 Mercy <1656> unto you, and peace <1515>, and love <26>, be multiplied <4129>. 3. Beloved <27>, when I gave <4160> all <3956> diligence <4710> to write <1125> unto you of the common <2839> salvation <4991>, it was needful <318> for me to write <1125> unto you, and exhort <3870> [you] that ye should earnestly <1864> contend <1864> for the faith <4102> which was once <530> delivered <3860> unto the saints <40>. 4 For there are certain <5100> men <444> crept <3921> in unawares <3921>, who <3588> were before <4270> of old <3819> ordained <4270> to this <5124> condemnation <2917>, ungodly <765> men, turning <3346> the grace <5485> of our God <2316> into <1519> lasciviousness <766>, and denying <720> the only <3441> Lord <2962> God <2316>, and our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>. 5 I will <1014> therefore put <5279> you in remembrance <5179>, though ye once <530> knew <1492> this <5124>, how that the Lord <2962>, having saved <4982> the people <2992> out of the land <1093> of Egypt <125>, afterward <1208> destroyed <622> them that believed <4100> not. 6 And the angels <32> which kept <5083> not their first <746> estate, but left <620> their own <2398> habitation <3613>, he hath reserved <5083> in everlasting <126> chains <1199> under <5259> darkness <2217> unto the judgment <2920> of the great <3173> day <2250>. 7 Even <5613> as Sodom <4670> and Gomorrha <1116>, and the cities <4172> about <4012> them in like <3664> manner <5158>, giving themselves over <1608> to fornication <1608>, and going <565> after <3694> strange <2087> flesh <4561>, are set <4295> forth <4295> for an example <1164>, suffering <5254> the vengeance <1349> of eternal <166> fire <4442>. 8. Likewise <3668> also <2532> these <3778> [filthy] dreamers <1797> defile <3392> the flesh <4561>, despise <114> dominion <2963>, and speak <987> evil <987> of dignities <1391>. 9 Yet <1161> Michael <3413> the archangel <743>, when <3753> contending <1252> with the devil <1228> he disputed <1256> about <4012> the body <4983> of Moses <3475>, durst <5111> not bring <2018> against <2018> him a railing <988> accusation <2920>, but said <2036>, The Lord <2962> rebuke <2008> thee. 10 But these <3778> speak <987> evil <987> of those <3745> things which <3745> they know <1492> not: but what <3745> Jude 2 they know <1987> naturally <5447>, as brute <249> beasts <2226>, in those <5125> things they corrupt <5351> themselves. 11 Woe <3759> unto them! for they have gone <4198> in the way <3598> of Cain <2535>, and ran <1632> greedily <1632> after the error <4106> of Balaam <903> for reward <3408>, and perished <622> in the gainsaying <485> of Core <2879>. 12 These <3778> are spots <4694> in your <5216> feasts of charity <26>, when they feast <4910> with you, feeding <4165> themselves <1438> without <870> fear <870>: clouds <3507> [they are] without <504> water <504>, carried <4064> about <4064> of winds <417>; trees <1186> whose fruit <5352> withereth <5352>, without <175> fruit <175>, twice <1364> dead <599>, plucked <1610> up by the roots <1610>; 13 Raging <66> waves <2949> of the sea <2281>, foaming <1890> out their own <1438> shame <152>; wandering <4107> stars <792>, to whom <3739> is reserved <5083> the blackness <2217> of darkness <4655> for ever <165>. 14 And Enoch <1802> also <2532>, the seventh <1442> from Adam <76>, prophesied <4395> of these <5125>, saying <3004>, Behold <2400>, the Lord <2962> cometh <2064> with ten <3461> thousands <3461> of his saints <40>, 15. To execute <4160> judgment <2920> upon all <3956>, and to convince <1827> all <3956> that are ungodly <763> among them of all <3956> their ungodly <763> deeds <2041> which <3739> they have ungodly <764> committed <764>, and of all <3956> their hard <4642> [speeches] which <3739> ungodly <765> sinners < 268> have spoken <2980> against <2596> him. 16 These <3778> are murmurers <1113>, complainers <3202>, walking <4198> after <2596> their own <848> lusts <1939>; and their mouth <4750> speaketh <2980> great <5246> swelling <5246> [words], having men's <4283> persons <4383> in admiration <2296> because <5484> of advantage <5622>. 17 But, beloved <27>, remember <3415> ye the words <4487> which <3588> were spoken <4280> before <4280> of the apostles <652> of our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>; 18 How that they told <3004> you there should be mockers <1703> in the last <2078> time <5550>, who should walk <4198> after <2596> their own <1438> ungodly <763> lusts <1939>. 19 These <3778> be they who separate <592> themselves <1438>, sensual <5591>, having <2192> not the Spirit <4151>. 20 But ye, beloved <27>, building <2026> up yourselves <1438> on your <5216> most <40> holy <40> faith <4102>, praying <4336> in the Holy <40> Ghost <4151>, 21 Keep <5083> yourselves <1438> in the love <26> of God <2316>, looking <4327> for the mercy <1656> of our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> unto eternal <166> life <2222>. 22 And of some <3588> have compassion <1653>, making Jude 3 <1252> a difference <1252>: 23 And others <3739> save <4982> with fear <5401>, pulling <726> [them] out of the fire <4442>; hating <3404> even <2532> the garment <5509> spotted <4695> by the flesh <4561>. 24 Now <1161> unto him that is able <1410> to keep <5442> you from falling <679>, and to present <2476> [you] faultless <299> before <2714> the presence <2714> of his glory <1391> with exceeding joy <20>, 25 To the only <3441> wise <4680> God <2316> our Saviour <4990>, [be] glory <1391> and majesty <3172>, dominion <2904> and power <1849>, both <2532> now <3568> and ever <165>. Amen <281>.  ~~~~~~
