The Warnings of History to the Ungodly

112JudeG2455, a 3bond-servantG1401 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 and brotherG80 of 4JamesG2385,

To 5thoseG3588 who are the calledG2822, belovedG25 in GodG2316 the FatherG3962, and 6keptG5083 for JesusG2424 ChristG5547: 27May mercyG1656, peaceG1515, and loveG26 8be multipliedG4129 to you.

39BelovedG27, while I was makingG4160 everyG3956 effortG4710 to writeG1125 you aboutG4012 our 10commonG2839 salvationG4991, I feltG2192 the necessityG318 to writeG1125 to you appealingG3870 that you 11contendG1864 earnestlyG1864 for 12the faithG4102 that was onceG530 forG530 allG530 time 13handedG3860 downG3860 to 14the 15saintsG40. 4For certainG5100 peopleG444 have 16creptG3921 inG3921 unnoticedG3921, thoseG3588 who were longG3819 beforehandG4270 1718markedG4270 outG4270 for thisG3778 condemnationG2917, ungodlyG765 personsG765 who turnG3346 19the graceG5485 of our GodG2316 into 20indecentG766 behaviorG766 and 21denyG720 our onlyG3441 MasterG1203 and LordG2962, JesusG2424 ChristG5547.

5NowG1161 I wantG1014 to 22remindG5279 you, though 23you knowG3609 everythingG3956 onceG530 and forG530 allG530, that 24the LordG2962, 25after savingG4982 a peopleG2992 out of the landG1093 of EgyptG125, 26subsequentlyG1208 destroyedG622 thoseG3588 who did not believeG4100. 6And 27angelsG32 who did not keepG5083 their ownG1438 domainG746 but abandonedG620 their properG2398 dwellingG3613 placeG3613, these He has 28keptG5083 in eternalG126 restraintsG1199 underG5259 darknessG2217 for the judgmentG2920 of the greatG3173 dayG2250, 7justG5613 asG5613 29SodomG4670 and GomorrahG1116 and the 30citiesG4172 aroundG4012 them, since they in the sameG3664 wayG5158 as theseG3778 angels indulgedG1608 inG1608 sexualG1608 perversionG1608 and 31wentG565 afterG3694 32strangeG2087 fleshG4561, are exhibitedG4295 as an 3334exampleG1164 in undergoingG5254 the 35punishmentG1349 of eternalG166 fireG4442.

8YetG3305 in the sameG3668 wayG3668 theseG3778 peopleG3778 alsoG2532, dreamingG1797, 36defileG3392 the fleshG4561, rejectG114 authorityG2963, and speakG987 abusivelyG987 of angelic 37majestiesG1391. 9But 38MichaelG3413 39the archangelG743, whenG3753 he disputedG1252 with the devilG1228 and arguedG1256 aboutG4012 40the bodyG4983 of MosesG3475, did not dareG5111 pronounceG2018 againstG2018 him an abusiveG988 judgmentG2920, but saidG3004, “41The LordG2962 rebukeG2008 you!” 10But 42theseG3778 peopleG3778 disparageG987 allG3745 the things thatG3745 they do not understandG3609; and 43allG3745 the things thatG3745 they knowG1987 by instinctG5447, 44likeG5613 unreasoningG249 animalsG2226, by theseG3778 thingsG3778 they are destroyedG5351. 11WoeG3759 to them! For they have goneG4198 45the wayG3598 of CainG2535, and for payG3408 46they have givenG1632 themselves upG1632 to 47the errorG4106 of BalaamG903, and 48perishedG622 in the rebellionG485 of KorahG2879. 12TheseG3778 are the onesG3588 who are 49hiddenG4694 reefsG4694 50in your loveG26 feastsG26 when they feastG4910 with you 51withoutG870 fearG870, like shepherds caringG4165 only for themselvesG1438; 52cloudsG3507 withoutG504 waterG504, 53carriedG3911 alongG3911 by windsG417; autumnG5352 treesG1186 withoutG175 fruitG175, 54doublyG1364 deadG599, 55uprootedG1610; 1356wildG66 wavesG2949 of the seaG2281, churningG1890 upG1890 57their ownG1438 shamefulG152 deedsG152 likeG1890 dirty foamG1890; wanderingG4107 starsG792, 58for whomG3739 the 59gloomG2217 of darknessG4655 has been reservedG5083 foreverG165.

14It was alsoG2532 about theseG3778 peopleG3778 that 60EnochG1802, in the seventhG1442 generation from AdamG76, prophesiedG4395, sayingG3004, “61BeholdG2400, the LordG2962 has comeG2064 with 62manyG3461 thousandsG3461 of His holyG40 onesG40, 1563to executeG4160 judgmentG2920 upon allG3956, and to convictG1651 allG3956 the ungodlyG765 of allG3956 their ungodlyG763 deedsG2041 whichG3739 they have doneG764 inG764 anG764 ungodlyG764 wayG764, and of allG3956 the harshG4642 thingsG4642 whichG3739 64ungodlyG763 sinnersG268 have spokenG2980 againstG2596 Him.” 16TheseG3778 are 65grumblersG1113, findingG3202 faultG3202, 66followingG4198 afterG2596 their own lustsG1939; 67they speakG2980 68arrogantlyG5246, flatteringG2296 peopleG4383 69for the sakeG5484 of gaining an advantageG5622.

Keep Yourselves in the Love of God

17But you, 70belovedG27, 71ought to rememberG3403 the wordsG4487 that were spokenG4275 beforehandG4275 by 72the apostlesG652 of our LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, 18that they were sayingG3004 to you, “73In the lastG2078 timeG5550 there will be mockersG1703, 74followingG4198 afterG2596 their ownG1438 ungodlyG763 lustsG1939.” 19TheseG3778 are the ones who causeG592 divisionsG592, 7576worldly-mindedG5591, 77devoidG3361G2192 of the SpiritG4151. 20But you, 78belovedG27, 79buildingG2026 yourselvesG1438 upG2026 onG2026 your mostG40 holyG40 80faithG4102, 81prayingG4336 in the HolyG40 SpiritG4151, 21keepG5083 yourselvesG1438 in the loveG26 of GodG2316, 82lookingG4327 forwardG4327 to the mercyG1656 of our LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 to eternalG166 lifeG2222. 22And haveG1653 mercyG1653 on someG3739G3303, who are doubtingG1252; 23saveG4982 others, 83snatchingG726 them out of the fireG4442; and on someG3739 haveG1653 mercyG1653 with fearG5401, 84hatingG3404 evenG2532 the garmentG5509 pollutedG4695 by the fleshG4561.

2485NowG1161 to Him who is ableG1410 to protectG5442 you fromG679 stumblingG679, and to 86makeG2476 you standG2476 inG2714 theG2714 presenceG2714 of His gloryG1391, blamelessG299 with 87greatG20 joyG20, 25to the 88onlyG3441 89GodG2316 our SaviorG4990, throughG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 our LordG2962, 90be gloryG1391, majestyG3172, dominionG2904, and authorityG1849 91beforeG4253 allG3956 timeG165 and nowG3568 and 92foreverG165. AmenG281.
