Jude 1:4-18

4ForG1063 certainG5100 menG444 have crept in among you unnoticedG3921—ungodlyG765 ones who were designatedG4270 long agoG3819 forG1519 condemnationG2917. They turnG3346 theG3588 graceG5485 of ourG1473 GodG2316 intoG1519 a license for immoralityG766, andG2532 they denyG720 ourG1473 onlyG3441 MasterG1203 andG2532 LordG2962, JesusG2424 ChristG5547.

5Although you are fully aware of thisG1161G1492G4771G3956, I wantG1014 to remindG5279 youG4771 thatG3754 afterG1208G530 JesusG24241 had deliveredG4982 His peopleG2992 out ofG1537 the landG1093 of EgyptG125, He destroyedG622 those whoG3588 did not believeG3361G4100. 6AndG5037 the angelsG32 whoG3588 did not stay withinG3361G5083 theirG1438 own domainG746 butG235 abandonedG620 theirG3588 proper dwellingG3613—these He has keptG5083 in eternalG126 chainsG1199 underG5259 darknessG2217, bound forG1519 judgmentG2920 on that greatG3173 dayG2250. 7In likeG3664 mannerG5158G3778, SodomG4670 andG2532 GomorrahG1116 andG2532 theG3588 citiesG4172 aroundG4012 themG846, who indulged in sexual immoralityG1608 andG2532 pursuedG565G3694 strangeG2087 fleshG4561, are on displayG4295 as an exampleG1164 of those who sustainG5254 the punishmentG1349 of eternalG166 fireG4442.

8YetG3305 in the same wayG3668G2532 theseG3778 dreamersG1797 defileG3392 their bodiesG4561, rejectG114 authorityG2963, andG1161 slanderG987 gloriousG1391 beings. 9ButG1161 even theG3588 archangelG743 MichaelG3413, whenG3753 he disputedG1256G1252 with theG3588 devilG1228 overG4012 theG3588 bodyG4983 of MosesG3475, did not presumeG3756G5111 to bringG2018 a slanderousG988 charge against himG2920, butG235 saidG2036, “The LordG2962 rebukeG2008 youG4771!”2 10TheseG3778 men, howeverG1161, slanderG987 whatG3745 they do not understandG3756G1492, andG1161 likeG5613 irrationalG249 animalsG2226, they will be destroyedG5351 byG1722 the thingsG3778 they do instinctivelyG1987G5447. 11WoeG3759 to themG846! They have traveledG4198 theG3588 pathG3598 of CainG2535; they have rushedG1632 for profitG3408 into theG3588 errorG4106 of BalaamG903; they have perishedG622 inG3588 Korah’sG2879 rebellionG485.

12TheseG3778 men areG1510 hidden reefsG46943 inG1722 yourG4771 love feastsG26, shamelesslyG870 feastingG4910 with you but shepherdingG4165 only themselvesG1438. They are cloudsG3507 without waterG504, carried alongG3911 byG5259 the windG417; fruitlessG175 treesG1186 in autumnG5352, twiceG1364 deadG599 after being uprootedG1610. 13They are wildG66 wavesG2949 of the seaG2281, foaming upG1890 theirG1438 own shameG152; wanderingG4107 starsG792, for whomG3739 blackestG2217 darknessG4655 has been reservedG5083 foreverG1519G165.

EnochG1802, the seventhG1442 fromG575 AdamG76, alsoG2532 prophesiedG4395 about themG3778:

16TheseG3778 men areG1510 discontentedG3202 grumblersG1113, followingG4198 afterG2596 their ownG846 lustsG1939; theirG846 mouthsG4750 spewG2980 arroganceG5246; they flatterG2296 othersG4383 for their ownG5484 advantageG5622.

17ButG1161 youG4771, belovedG27, rememberG3403 whatG3588 was foretoldG4487G3588G4302 byG5259 theG3588 apostlesG652 of ourG1473 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 18whenG3754 they saidG2036 to youG4771, “InG1909 the lastG2078 timesG5550 there will beG1510 scoffersG1703 who will followG4198 afterG2596 their ownG1438 ungodlyG3588G763 desiresG1939.”5
