Jude 1:1-7

1 1 2Jude, a 3bond-servant of Jesus Christ and brother of 4James,

To 5those who are the called, beloved in God the Father, and 6kept for Jesus Christ: 2 7May mercy, peace, and love 8be multiplied to you.

3 9Beloved, while I was making every effort to write you about our 10common salvation, I felt the necessity to write to you appealing that you 11contend earnestly for 12the faith that was once for all time 13handed down to 14the 15saints. 4For certain people have 16crept in unnoticed, those who were long beforehand 17 18marked out for this condemnation, ungodly persons who turn 19the grace of our God into 20indecent behavior and 21deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.

5Now I want to 22remind you, though 23you know everything once and for all, that 24the Lord, 25after saving a people out of the land of Egypt, 26subsequently destroyed those who did not believe. 6And 27angels who did not keep their own domain but abandoned their proper dwelling place, these He has 28kept in eternal restraints under darkness for the judgment of the great day, 7just as 29Sodom and Gomorrah and the 30cities around them, since they in the same way as these angels indulged in sexual perversion and 31went after 32strange flesh, are exhibited as an 33 34example in undergoing the 35punishment of eternal fire.
