Jude 1:4-13

4For certain people have 1crept in unnoticed, those who were long beforehand 23marked out for this condemnation, ungodly persons who turn 4the grace of our God into 5indecent behavior and 6deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.

5Now I want to 7remind you, though 8you know everything once and for all, that 9the Lord, 10after saving a people out of the land of Egypt, 11subsequently destroyed those who did not believe. 6And 12angels who did not keep their own domain but abandoned their proper dwelling place, these He has 13kept in eternal restraints under darkness for the judgment of the great day, 7just as 14Sodom and Gomorrah and the 15cities around them, since they in the same way as these angels indulged in sexual perversion and 16went after 17strange flesh, are exhibited as an 1819example in undergoing the 20punishment of eternal fire.

8Yet in the same way these people also, dreaming, 21defile the flesh, reject authority, and speak abusively of angelic 22majesties. 9But 23Michael 24the archangel, when he disputed with the devil and argued about 25the body of Moses, did not dare pronounce against him an abusive judgment, but said, “26The Lord rebuke you!” 10But 27these people disparage all the things that they do not understand; and 28all the things that they know by instinct, 29like unreasoning animals, by these things they are destroyed. 11Woe to them! For they have gone 30the way of Cain, and for pay 31they have given themselves up to 32the error of Balaam, and 33perished in the rebellion of Korah. 12These are the ones who are 34hidden reefs 35in your love feasts when they feast with you 36without fear, like shepherds caring only for themselves; 37clouds without water, 38carried along by winds; autumn trees without fruit, 39doubly dead, 40uprooted; 1341wild waves of the sea, churning up 42their own shameful deeds like dirty foam; wandering stars, 43for whom the 44gloom of darkness has been reserved forever.
