1:1Jude, a
servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are called,
beloved in God the Father, and kept for Jesus Christ: 1:2Mercy unto you
and peace and love be multiplied. 1:3Beloved, while I was giving all
diligence to write unto you of our common salvation, I was constrained to
write unto you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was
once for all delivered unto the saints. 1:4For there are certain men crept in
privily, even they who were of old written of beforehand unto this
condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into
lasciviousness, and denying our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ. 1:5Now I desire to
put you in remembrance, though ye know all things once for all, that the
Lord, having saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed
them that believed not. 1:6And angels that kept not their own
principality, but left their proper habitation, he hath kept in
everlasting bonds under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. 1:7Even as Sodom
and Gomorrah, and the cities about them, having in like manner with these
given themselves over to fornication and gone after strange flesh, are set
forth as an example, suffering the punishment of eternal fire. 1:8Yet in like
manner these also in their dreamings defile the flesh, and set at nought
dominion, and rail at dignities. 1:9But Michael the archangel, when
contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not
bring against him a railing judgment, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.
1:10But these
rail at whatsoever things they know not: and what they understand
naturally, like the creatures without reason, in these things are they
destroyed. 1:11Woe unto them! For they went in the
way of Cain, and ran riotously in the error of Balaam for hire, and
perished in the gainsaying of Korah. 1:12These are they who are hidden rocks
in your love-feasts when they feast with you, shepherds that without fear
feed themselves; clouds without water, carried along by winds; autumn
leaves without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots; 1:13Wild waves of
the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, for whom the
blackness of darkness hath been reserved forever. 1:14And to these
also Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying, Behold, the Lord
came with ten thousands of his holy ones, 1:15to execute judgment upon all, and to
convict all the ungodly of all their works of ungodliness which they have
ungodly wrought, and of all the hard things which ungodly sinners have
spoken against him. 1:16These are murmurers, complainers,
walking after their lusts (and their mouth speaketh great swelling
words), showing respect of persons for the sake of advantage. 1:17But ye,
beloved, remember ye the words which have been spoken before by the
apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; 1:18That they said to you, In the last
time there shall be mockers, walking after their own ungodly lusts. 1:19These are they
who make separations, sensual, having not the Spirit. 1:20But ye,
beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the
Holy Spirit, 1:21keep yourselves in the love of God,
looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. 1:22And on some
have mercy, who are in doubt; 1:23and some save, snatching them out of
the fire; and on some have mercy with fear; hating even the garment
spotted by the flesh. 1:24Now unto him that is able to guard
you from stumbling, and to set you before the presence of his glory
without blemish in exceeding joy, 1:25to the only God our Saviour, through
Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and power,
before all time, and now, and for evermore. Amen.
