He exhorteth them to be constant in the profession of the faith.

1 ¶ Jude,º the servantº of Jesusº Christ,º and¹² brotherº of James,º to them that are sanctifiedºª byº Godº the Father,º andº preservedºª in Jesusº Christ,º [and] called:º 2 Mercyº unto you,º andº peace,º andº love,º be multiplied.ºª 3 Beloved,º when I gaveºª allº diligenceº to writeºª unto youº ofº the² commonº salvation,º it was¹ª needfulº² for me¹ª to writeºª unto you,º and exhortºª [you] that ye should earnestly contend¹ª for² the² faithº which was onceº deliveredºª unto the² saints.º

False teachers are crept in to seduce them: for whose damnable doctrine and manners horrible punishment is prepared:

4 Forº there are certainº menº crept in unawares,ºª who¹ were before¹ª of old¹ ordainedºª² toº thisº condemnation,º ungodly men,º turningºª the² graceº of ourº Godº intoº lasciviousness,º andº denyingºª the² onlyº Lordº God,º andº ourº Lordº Jesusº Christ.º 5 I² willºª therefore¹ put¹ª you¹ in remembrance,ºª² though yeº onceº knewºª this,º how thatº the² Lord,º having savedºª the peopleº out ofº the landº of Egypt,º afterwardº destroyedºª them that believedºª not.º 6 Andº the angelsº which keptºª notº theirº first estate,º butº leftºª their ownº habitation,º he hath reservedºª in everlastingº chainsº underº darknessº untoº the judgmentº of the greatº day.º 7 Even asº Sodomº andº Gomorrha,º andº the² citiesº aboutº themº in like¹¹ manner,º² giving themselves over to fornication,ºª andº goingºª afterº strangeº flesh,º are set forth² for¹ª an example,º sufferingºª the vengeanceº of eternalº fire.º 8 Likewiseº¹ alsoº theseº [filthy] dreamersºª defileºª the flesh,ºº¹ despiseºª dominion,º andº speak evil¹ª of² dignities.º 9 Yetº Michaelº the² archangel,º whenº contendingºª with the² devilº he disputedºª aboutº the² bodyº of Moses,º durstºª notº bring against² him¹ª a railingº accusation,º butº said,ºª The Lordº rebukeºª thee.º 10 Butº theseº speak evil¹ª of² those things² which¹¹ they² knowºª not:º butº whatº they knowºª naturally,º asº bruteº beasts,º inº those thingsº they corrupt themselves.ºª 11 Woeº unto them!º forº they have goneºª in the² wayº of Cain,º andº ran greedily afterºª the² errorº of Balaamº for reward,º andº perishedºª in the² gainsayingº of Core.º 12 Theseº areºª spotsº inº yourº feasts of charity,º when they feast¹ª with² you,º feedingºª themselvesº without fear:º cloudsº [they are] without water,º carried aboutºª ofº winds;º treesº whose fruit withereth,º without fruit,º twiceº dead,ºª plucked up by the roots;ºª 13 Ragingº wavesº of the sea,º foaming outºª their ownº shame;º wanderingº stars,º to whomº is reservedºª the² blacknessº of darknessº for¹ ever.º² 14 Andº Enochº also,º the seventhº fromº Adam,º prophesiedºª of these,º saying,ºª Behold,ºª the Lordº comethºª withº ten thousandsº of his¹² saints,º 15 To executeºª judgmentº uponº all,º andº to convinceºª allº that are ungodlyº among themº ofº allº their¹² ungodlyº deedsº whichº they have ungodly committed,ºª andº ofº allº their hardº [speeches] whichº ungodlyº sinnersº have spokenºª againstº him.º 16 Theseº areºª murmurers,º complainers,º walkingºª afterº their own¹² lusts;º andº their¹² mouthº speakethºª great swellingº [words], having men's persons¹ in admirationºª² because¹ of² advantage.º 17 But,º beloved,º rememberºª yeº the² wordsº which¹ were spoken beforeºª ofº the² apostlesº of ourº Lordº Jesusº Christ;º 18 How¹ thatº they toldºª youº there should² beºª mockersº inº the lastº time,º who should walkºª afterº their own¹² ungodlyº lusts.º 19 Theseº beºª they who separateºª themselves,º sensual,º havingºª notº the Spirit.º
