1Jude <2455>_, the servant <1401> of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>_, and <1161> brother <80> of James <2385>_, to them that are sanctified <37> (5772) by <1722> God <2316> the Father <3962>_, and <2532> preserved <5083> (5772) in Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>_, [and] called <2822>_:
2Mercy <1656> unto you <5213>_, and <2532> peace <1515>_, and <2532> love <26>_, be multiplied <4129> (5684)_.
3Beloved <27>_, when I gave <4160> (5734) all <3956> diligence <4710> to write <1125> (5721) unto you <5213> of <4012> the common <2839> salvation <4991>_, it was <2192> (0) needful <318> for me <2192> (5627) to write <1125> (5658) unto you <5213>_, and exhort <3870> (5723) [you] that ye should earnestly contend <1864> (5738) for the faith <4102> which was once <530> delivered <3860> (5685) unto the saints <40>_.
4For <1063> there are certain <5100> men <444> crept in unawares <3921> (5656)_, who <3588> were before <4270> (0) of old <3819> ordained <4270> (5772) to <1519> this <5124> condemnation <2917>_, ungodly men <765>_, turning <3346> (5723) the grace <5485> of our <2257> God <2316> into <1519> lasciviousness <766>_, and <2532> denying <720> (5740) the only <3441> Lord <1203> God <2316>_, and <2532> our <2257> Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>_.
5I will <1014> (5736) therefore <1161> put <5279> (0) you <5209> in remembrance <5279> (5658)_, though ye <5209> once <530> knew <1492> (5761) this <5124>_, how that <3754> the Lord <2962>_, having saved <4982> (5660) the people <2992> out of <1537> the land <1093> of Egypt <125>_, afterward <1208> destroyed <622> (5656) them that believed <4100> (5660) not <3361>_.
6And <5037> the angels <32> which kept <5083> (5660) not <3361> their <1438> first estate <746>_, but <235> left <620> (5631) their own <2398> habitation <3613>_, he hath reserved <5083> (5758) in everlasting <126> chains <1199> under <5259> darkness <2217> unto <1519> the judgment <2920> of the great <3173> day <2250>_. {first estate: or, principality}
7Even as <5613> Sodom <4670> and <2532> Gomorrha <1116>_, and <2532> the cities <4172> about <4012> them <846> in like <3664> <5125> manner <5158>_, giving themselves over to fornication <1608> (5660)_, and <2532> going <565> (5631) after <3694> strange <2087> flesh <4561>_, are set forth for <4295> (5736) an example <1164>_, suffering <5254> (5723) the vengeance <1349> of eternal <166> fire <4442>_. {strange: Gr. other}
8Likewise <3668> <3305> also <2532> these <3778> [filthy] dreamers <1797> (5740) defile <3392> (5719) the flesh <3303> <4561>_, <1161> despise <114> (5719) dominion <2963>_, and <1161> speak evil <987> (5719) of dignities <1391>_.
9Yet <1161> Michael <3413> the archangel <743>_, when <3753> contending <1252> (5734) with the devil <1228> he disputed <1256> (5711) about <4012> the body <4983> of Moses <3475>_, durst <5111> (5656) not <3756> bring against him <2018> (5629) a railing <988> accusation <2920>_, but <235> said <2036> (5627)_, The Lord <2962> rebuke <2008> (5659) thee <4671>_.
10But <1161> these <3778> speak evil <987> (5719) of those things which <3745> <3303> they know <1492> (5758) not <3756>_: but <1161> what <3745> they know <1987> (5736) naturally <5447>_, as <5613> brute <249> beasts <2226>_, in <1722> those things <5125> they corrupt themselves <5351> (5743)_.
11Woe <3759> unto them <846>_! for <3754> they have gone <4198> (5675) in the way <3598> of Cain <2535>_, and <2532> ran greedily after <1632> (5681) the error <4106> of Balaam <903> for reward <3408>_, and <2532> perished <622> (5639) in the gainsaying <485> of Core <2879>_.
12These <3778> are <1526> (5748) spots <4694> in <1722> your <5216> feasts of charity <26>_, when they feast <4910> (5740) with you <5213>_, feeding <4165> (5723) themselves <1438> without fear <870>_: clouds <3507> [they are] without water <504>_, carried about <4064> (5746) of <5259> winds <417>_; trees <1186> whose fruit withereth <5352>_, without fruit <175>_, twice <1364> dead <599> (5631)_, plucked up by the roots <1610> (5685)_;
13Raging <66> waves <2949> of the sea <2281>_, foaming out <1890> (5723) their own <1438> shame <152>_; wandering <4107> stars <792>_, to whom <3739> is reserved <5083> (5769) the blackness <2217> of darkness <4655> for <1519> ever <165>_.
14And <1161> Enoch <1802> also <2532>_, the seventh <1442> from <575> Adam <76>_, prophesied <4395> (5656) of these <5125>_, saying <3004> (5723)_, Behold <2400> (5628)_, the Lord <2962> cometh <2064> (5627) with <1722> ten thousands <3461> of his <846> saints <40>_,
15To execute <4160> (5658) judgment <2920> upon <2596> all <3956>_, and <2532> to convince <1827> (5658) all <3956> that are ungodly <765> among them <846> of <4012> all <3956> their <846> ungodly <763> deeds <2041> which <3739> they have ungodly committed <764> (5656)_, and <2532> of <4012> all <3956> their hard <4642> [speeches] which <3739> ungodly <765> sinners <268> have spoken <2980> (5656) against <2596> him <846>_.
16These <3778> are <1526> (5748) murmurers <1113>_, complainers <3202>_, walking <4198> (5740) after <2596> their own <846> lusts <1939>_; and <2532> their <846> mouth <4750> speaketh <2980> (5719) great swelling <5246> [words], having men's persons <4383> in admiration <2296> (5723) because <5484> of advantage <5622>_.
17But <1161>_, beloved <27>_, remember <3415> (5682) ye <5210> the words <4487> which <3588> were spoken before <4280> (5772) of <5259> the apostles <652> of our <2257> Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>_;
18How <3754> that <3754> they told <3004> (5707) you <5213> there should be <2071> (5704) mockers <1703> in <1722> the last <2078> time <5550>_, who should walk <4198> (5740) after <2596> their own <1438> ungodly <763> lusts <1939>_.
19These <3778> be <1526> (5748) they who separate <592> (5723) themselves <1438>_, sensual <5591>_, having <2192> (5723) not <3361> the Spirit <4151>_.
20But <1161> ye <5210>_, beloved <27>_, building up <2026> (5723) yourselves <1438> on your <5216> most holy <40> faith <4102>_, praying <4336> (5740) in <1722> the Holy <40> Ghost <4151>_,
21Keep <5083> (5657) yourselves <1438> in <1722> the love <26> of God <2316>_, looking for <4327> (5740) the mercy <1656> of our <2257> Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> unto <1519> eternal <166> life <2222>_.
22And <2532> <3303> of some <3739> have compassion <1653> (5720)_, making a difference <1252> (5734)_:
23And <1161> others <3739> save <4982> (5720) with <1722> fear <5401>_, pulling <726> (5723) [them] out of <1537> the fire <4442>_; hating <3404> (5723) even <2532> the garment <5509> spotted <4695> (5772) by <575> the flesh <4561>_.
24Now <1161> unto him that is able <1410> (5740) to keep <5442> (5658) you <5209> (5625) <846> from falling <679>_, and <2532> to present <2476> (5658) [you] faultless <299> before the presence <2714> of his <846> glory <1391> with <1722> exceeding joy <20>_,
25To the only <3441> wise <4680> God <2316> our <2257> Saviour <4990>_, [be] glory <1391> and <2532> majesty <3172>_, dominion <2904> and <2532> power <1849>_, both <2532> now <3568> and <2532> ever <1519> <3956> <165>_. Amen <281>_.
