Jude 1

The Warnings of History to the Ungodly

1

 1 aJudeg2455, a  bbond-servantg1401 of Jesusg2424 Christg5547, and brotherg80 of  2Jamesg2385,

To  cthoseg3588 who are the calledg2822, belovedg25 in Godg2316 the Fatherg3962, and  dkeptg5083 for Jesusg2424 Christg5547:

2

 aMay mercyg1656 and peaceg1515 and loveg26  bbe multipliedg4129 to you.

3

 aBelovedg27, while I was makingg4160 everyg3956 effortg4710 to writeg1125 you aboutg4012 our  bcommong2839 salvationg4991, I feltg2192 the necessityg318 to writeg1125 to you appealingg3870 that you  ccontendg1864 earnestlyg1864 for  dthe faithg4102 which was onceg530 for allg530  ehandedg3860 downg3860 to  fthe  1saintsg40.

4

For certaing5100 personsg444 have  acreptg3921 in unnoticedg3921, thoseg3588 who were longg3819 beforehandg4270  1 bmarkedg4270 out for thisg3778 condemnationg2917, ungodlyg765 personsg765 who turng3346a  cthe graceg5485 of our Godg2316 into  dlicentiousnessg766 and  edenyg720 our onlyg3441 Masterg1203 and Lordg2962, Jesusg2424 Christg5547.

5

Nowg1161 I desireg1014 to  aremindg5279 you, though  byou knowg3609a allg3956 thingsg3956 onceg530 for allg530, that  1the Lordg2962,  cafter savingg4982 a peopleg2992 out of the landg1093 of Egyptg125,  2subsequentlyg1208 destroyedg622 thoseg3588 who did not believeg4100.

6

And  aangelsg32a who did not keepg5083 their owng1438 domaing746, but abandonedg620 their properg2398 abodeg3613, He has  bkeptg5083 in eternalg126 bondsg1199 underg5259 darknessg2217 for the judgmentg2920 of the greatg3173 dayg2250,

7

justg5613 as  aSodomg4670 and Gomorrahg1116 and the  bcitiesg4172 aroundg4012 them, since they in the sameg3664 wayg5158 as theseg3778 indulgedg1608 in grossg1608 immoralityg1608 and  cwentg565 afterg3694  1strangeg2087 fleshg4561, are exhibitedg4295 as an  2 dexampleg1164 in undergoingg5254 the  epunishmentg1349 of eternalg166 fireg4442.

8

Yetg3305 in the sameg3668 wayg3668 theseg3778 meng3778, alsog2532 by dreamingg1797,  adefileg3392 the fleshg4561, and rejectg114 authorityg2963, and revileg987  1angelic majestiesg1391.

9

But  aMichaelg3413  bthe archangelg743, wheng3753 he disputedg1252 with the devilg1228 and arguedg1256 aboutg4012  cthe bodyg4983 of Mosesg3475, did not dareg5111 pronounceg2018 againstg2018 him a railingg988 judgmentg2920, but saidg3004, " dThe Lordg2962 rebukeg2008 you!"

10

But  atheseg3778 meng3778 revileg987 the things whichg3745 they do not understandg3609a; and  bthe things whichg3745 they knowg1987 by instinctg5447,  alikeg5613 unreasoningg249 animalsg2226, by theseg3778 thingsg3778 they are  1destroyedg5351.

11

Woeg3759 to them! For they have goneg4198  athe wayg3598 of Caing2535, and for payg3408  1they have rushedg1632b headlongg1632b into  bthe errorg4106 of Balaamg903, and  cperishedg622 in the rebelliong485 of Korahg2879.

12

Theseg3778 are the meng3778 who are  1hiddeng4694 reefsg4694  ain your loveg26 feastsg26 when they feastg4910 with you  bwithoutg870 fearg870, caringg4165 for themselvesg1438;  ccloudsg3507 withoutg504 waterg504,  dcarriedg3911 alongg3911 by windsg417; autumng5352 treesg1186 withoutg175 fruitg175,  2doublyg1364 deadg599,  euprootedg1610;

13

 awildg66 wavesg2949 of the seag2281, castingg1890 up  btheir owng1438  1shameg152 likeg1890 foamg1890; wanderingg4107 starsg792,  cfor whomg3739 the  2blackg2217 darknessg4655 has been reservedg5083 foreverg165.

14

It was alsog2532 about theseg3778 men that  aEnochg1802, in the seventhg1442 generation from Adamg76, prophesiedg4395, sayingg3004, " bBeholdg2400, the Lordg2962 cameg2064 with  1manyg3461 thousandsg3461 of His holyg40 onesg40,

15

 ato executeg4160 judgmentg2920 upon allg3956, and to convictg1651 allg3956 the ungodlyg765 of allg3956 their ungodlyg763 deedsg2041 whichg3739 they have doneg764 in an ungodlyg764 wayg764, and of allg3956 the harshg4642 thingsg4642 whichg3739  bungodlyg763 sinnersg268 have spokeng2980 againstg2596 Him."

16

Theseg3778 are  agrumblersg1113, findingg3202 faultg3202,  bfollowingg4198 afterg2596 their own lustsg1939;  1they speakg2980  carrogantlyg5246, flatteringg2296 peopleg4383  dfor the sakeg5484 of gaining an advantageg5622.

Keep Yourselves in the Love of God

17

But you,  abelovedg27,  bought to rememberg3403 the wordsg4487 that were spokeng4275b beforehandg4275b by  cthe apostlesg652 of our Lordg2962 Jesusg2424 Christg5547,

18

that they were sayingg3004 to you, " aIn the lastg2078 timeg5550 there will be mockersg1703,  bfollowingg4198 afterg2596 their owng1438 ungodlyg763 lustsg1939."

19

Theseg3778 are the ones who causeg592 divisionsg592,  1 aworldly-mindedg5591,  2devoidg3361g2192 of the Spiritg4151.

20

But you,  abelovedg27,  bbuildingg2026 yourselvesg1438 up on your mostg40 holyg40  afaithg4102,  cprayingg4336 in the Holyg40 Spiritg4151,

21

keepg5083 yourselvesg1438 in the loveg26 of Godg2316,  awaitingg4327 anxiouslyg4327 for the mercyg1656 of our Lordg2962 Jesusg2424 Christg5547 to eternalg166 lifeg2222.

22

And haveg1653 mercyg1653 on someg3739g3303a, who are doubtingg1252;

23

saveg4982 others,  asnatchingg726 them out of the fireg4442; and on someg3739 haveg1653 mercyg1653 with fearg5401,  bhatingg3404 eveng2532 the garmentg5509 pollutedg4695 by the fleshg4561.

24

 aNowg1161 to Him who is ableg1410 to keepg5442 you from stumblingg679, and to  bmakeg2476 you standg2476 in the presenceg2714 of His gloryg1391 blamelessg299b with  cgreatg20 joyg20,

25

to the  aonlyg3441  bGodg2316 our Saviorg4990, throughg1223 Jesusg2424 Christg5547 our Lordg2962,  cbe gloryg1391, majestyg3172, dominiong2904 and authorityg1849,  dbeforeg4253 allg3956 timeg165 and nowg3568 and  1foreverg165. Ameng281.
