1Jude2455, the servant1401 of Jesus2424 Christ5547, and1161 brother80 of James2385, to them that are sanctified37 by1722 God2316 the Father3962, and2532 preserved5083 in Jesus2424 Christ5547, and called2822:
2Mercy1656 unto you5213, and2532 peace1515, and2532 love26, be multiplied4129.
3Beloved27, when I gave4160 all3956 diligence4710 to write1125 unto you5213 of4012 the common2839 salvation4991, it was2192 needful318 for me2192 to write1125 unto you5213, and exhort3870 you that ye should earnestly contend1864 for the faith4102 which was once530 delivered3860 unto the saints40.
4For1063 there are certain5100 men444 crept in unawares3921, who3588 were before4270 of old3819 ordained4270 to1519 this5124 condemnation2917, ungodly men765, turning3346 the grace5485 of our2257 God2316 into1519 lasciviousness766, and2532 denying720 the only3441 Lord1203 God2316, and2532 our2257 Lord2962 Jesus2424 Christ5547.
5I will1014 therefore1161 put5279 you5209 in remembrance5279, though ye5209 once530 knew1492 this5124, how that3754 the Lord2962, having saved4982 the people2992 out of1537 the land1093 of Egypt125, afterward1208 destroyed622 them that believed4100 not3361.
6And5037 the angels32 which kept5083 not3361 their1438 first estate746, but235 left620 their own2398 habitation3613, he hath reserved5083 in everlasting126 chains1199 under5259 darkness2217 unto1519 the judgment2920 of the great3173 day2250.
7Even as5613 Sodom4670 and2532 Gomorrha1116, and2532 the cities4172 about4012 them846 in like3664 5125 manner5158, giving themselves over to fornication1608, and2532 going565 after3694 strange2087 flesh4561, are set forth for4295 an example1164, suffering5254 the vengeance1349 of eternal166 fire4442.
8Likewise3668 3305 also2532 these3778 filthy dreamers1797 defile3392 the flesh3303 4561,1161 despise114 dominion2963, and1161 speak evil987 of dignities1391.
9Yet1161 Michael3413 the archangel743, when3753 contending1252 with the devil1228 he disputed1256 about4012 the body4983 of Moses3475, durst5111 not3756 bring against him2018 a railing988 accusation2920, but235 said2036, The Lord2962 rebuke2008 thee4671.
10But1161 these3778 speak evil987 of those things which3745 3303 they know1492 not3756: but1161 what3745 they know1987 naturally5447, as5613 brute249 beasts2226, in1722 those things5125 they corrupt themselves5351.
11Woe3759 unto them846! for3754 they have gone4198 in the way3598 of Cain2535, and2532 ran greedily after1632 the error4106 of Balaam903 for reward3408, and2532 perished622 in the gainsaying485 of Core2879.
12These3778 are1526 spots4694 in1722 your5216 feasts of charity26, when they feast4910 with you5213, feeding4165 themselves1438 without fear870: clouds3507 they are without water504, carried about4064 of5259 winds417; trees1186 whose fruit withereth5352, without fruit175, twice1364 dead599, plucked up by the roots1610;
13Raging66 waves2949 of the sea2281, foaming out1890 their own1438 shame152; wandering4107 stars792, to whom3739 is reserved5083 the blackness2217 of darkness4655 for1519 ever165.
14And1161 Enoch1802 also2532, the seventh1442 from575 Adam76, prophesied4395 of these5125, saying3004, Behold2400, the Lord2962 cometh2064 with1722 ten thousands3461 of his846 saints40,
15To execute4160 judgment2920 upon2596 all3956, and2532 to convince1827 all3956 that are ungodly765 among them846 of4012 all3956 their846 ungodly763 deeds2041 which3739 they have ungodly committed764, and2532 of4012 all3956 their hard4642 speeches which3739 ungodly765 sinners268 have spoken2980 against2596 him846.
16These3778 are1526 murmurers1113, complainers3202, walking4198 after2596 their own846 lusts1939; and2532 their846 mouth4750 speaketh2980 great swelling5246 words, having men's persons4383 in admiration2296 because5484 of advantage5622.
17But1161, beloved27, remember3415 ye5210 the words4487 which3588 were spoken before4280 of5259 the apostles652 of our2257 Lord2962 Jesus2424 Christ5547;
18How3754 that3754 they told3004 you5213 there should be2071 mockers1703 in1722 the last2078 time5550, who should walk4198 after2596 their own1438 ungodly763 lusts1939.
19These3778 be1526 they who separate592 themselves1438, sensual5591, having2192 not3361 the Spirit4151.
20But1161 ye5210, beloved27, building up2026 yourselves1438 on your5216 most holy40 faith4102, praying4336 in1722 the Holy40 Ghost4151,
21Keep5083 yourselves1438 in1722 the love26 of God2316, looking for4327 the mercy1656 of our2257 Lord2962 Jesus2424 Christ5547 unto1519 eternal166 life2222.
22And2532 3303 of some3739 have compassion1653, making a difference1252:
23And1161 others3739 save4982 with1722 fear5401, pulling726 them out of1537 the fire4442; hating3404 even2532 the garment5509 spotted4695 by575 the flesh4561.
24Now1161 unto him that is able1410 to keep5442 you5209 846 from falling679, and2532 to present2476 you faultless299 before the presence2714 of his846 glory1391 with1722 exceeding joy20,
25To the only3441 wise4680 God2316 our2257 Saviour4990, be glory1391 and2532 majesty3172, dominion2904 and2532 power1849, both2532 now3568 and2532 ever1519 3956 165. Amen281.
