65_JDE_01_01 Jude , the servant of Jesus Christ , And brother of James , to them that are sanctified by God the Father , And preserved in Jesus Christ , [ And ] called :
65_JDE_01_02 mercy unto you , And peace And love , be multiplied .
65_JDE_01_03 beloved , when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation , it was needful for me to write unto you , And exhort [ you ] that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints .
65_JDE_01_04 for there are certain men crept in unawares , who were before of old ordained to this condemnation , ungodly men , turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness , And denying the only LORD God , And our LORD Jesus Christ .
65_JDE_01_05 I will therefore put you in remembrance , though ye once knew this , how that the LORD , having saved the people out of the land of Egypt , Afterward destroyed them that believed not .
65_JDE_01_06 And the angels which kept not their first estate , but left their own habitation , he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day .
65_JDE_01_07 even as Sodom And Gomorrha , And the cities about them in like manner , giving themselves over to fornication , And going after strange flesh , are set forth for an example , suffering the vengeance of eternal fire .
65_JDE_01_08 Likewise also These [ filthy ] dreamers defile the flesh , despise dominion , And speak evil of dignities .
65_JDE_01_09 yet Michael the archangel , when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses , durst not bring against him A railing accusation , but said , the LORD rebuke thee .
65_JDE_01_10 but These speak evil of those things which they know not : but what they know naturally , as brute beasts , in those things they corrupt themselves .
65_JDE_01_11 woe unto them ! for they have gone in the way of Cain , And ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward , And perished in the gainsaying of Core .
65_JDE_01_12 These are spots in your feasts of charity , when they feast with you , feeding themselves without Fear : clouds [ they are ] without water , carried about of winds ; trees whose fruit withereth , without fruit , twice dead , plucked up by the roots ;
65_JDE_01_13 raging waves of the sea , foaming out their own shame ; wandering stars , to whom Is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever .
65_JDE_01_14 And Enoch also , the seventh from Adam , prophesied of These , saying , behold , the LORD cometh with ten thousands of his saints ,
65_JDE_01_15 to execute judgment upon all , And to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed , And of all their hard [ speeches ] which ungodly sinners have spoken against him .
65_JDE_01_16 These are murmurers , complainers , walking after their own lusts ; And their mouth speaketh great swelling [ words ] , having men's persons in admiration because of advantage .
65_JDE_01_17 but , beloved , Remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our LORD Jesus Christ ;
65_JDE_01_18 how that they told you there should be mockers in the last time , who should walk after their own ungodly lusts .
65_JDE_01_19 These be they who separate themselves , sensual , having not the spirit .
65_JDE_01_20 but ye , beloved , building up yourselves on your most holy faith , Praying in the holy Ghost ,
65_JDE_01_21 keep yourselves in the love of God , looking for the mercy of our LORD Jesus Christ unto eternal life .
65_JDE_01_22 And of some have compassion , making A difference :
65_JDE_01_23 And others save with Fear , pulling [ them ] out of the fire ; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh .
65_JDE_01_24 now unto him that Is able to keep you from falling , And to present [ you ] faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy ,
65_JDE_01_25 to the only wise God our Saviour , [ be ] glory And majesty , dominion And power , Both now And for ever . Amen .
