{\MT The General Epistle of Jude

\par }\OneChap {\PP \VerseOne{1}Jude, bondman
of
Jesus
Christ,
and
brother
of
James,
to
the
called ones
beloved
in
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:1 }
Elohim}God [the]
Father
and
preserved
in
Jesus
Christ:
\VS{2}Mercy
to
you,
and
peace,
and
love
be
multiplied.
\VS{3}Beloved, using
all
diligence
to
write
to
you
of
our
common
salvation,
I
have
been obliged
to
write
to
you
exhorting [you]
to
contend
earnestly
for
the
faith
once
delivered
to
the
saints.
\VS{4}For
certain
men
have got
in
unnoticed,
they
who
of old
were
marked out
beforehand
to
this
sentence,
ungodly [persons], turning
the
grace
of
our
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:4 }
Elohim}God
into dissoluteness,
and
denying
our
only
Master
and
Lord
Jesus
Christ.
\VS{5}But
I
would
put
you
in
remembrance,
you
who
once
knew
all
things,
that
the
Lord, having
saved
a
people
out
of [the]
land
of
Egypt,
in
the
second place
destroyed
those
who
had
not
believed.
\VS{6}And
angels
who
had
not
kept
their
own original state,
but
had
abandoned
their
own
dwelling,
he
keeps
in
eternal
chains
under gloomy
darkness,
to [the]
judgment
of [the]
great
day;
\VS{7}as
Sodom
and Gomorrha,
and
the
cities
around
them, committing greedily fornication,
in
like manner
with
them,
and
going
after
other
flesh, lie there
as
an
example,
undergoing
the judgment
of
eternal
fire.
\VS{8}Yet
in
like
manner
these dreamers
also
defile [the]
flesh,
and despise lordship,
and speak railingly
against dignities.
\VS{9}But
Michael
the
archangel,
when disputing
with
the
devil
he
reasoned
about
the
body
of
Moses,
did
not
dare
to
bring
a
railing
judgment
against [him],
but
said, [The]
Lord
rebuke thee.
\VS{10}But
these,
whatever
things
they
know
not,
they speak railingly
against;
but
what
even,
as
the
irrational
animals,
they
understand
by mere nature,
in
these
things
they corrupt
themselves.
\VS{11}Woe
to
them!
because
they
have
gone
in
the
way
of
Cain,
and given
themselves up
to
the
error
of
Balaam
for
reward,
and
perished
in
the gainsaying
of Core.
\VS{12}These
are spots
in
your love-feasts,
feasting
together [with
you]
without
fear, pasturing
themselves;
clouds
without
water,
carried
along
by [the]
winds; autumnal
trees,
without
fruit,
twice
dead, rooted up;
\VS{13}raging
waves
of
the
sea, foaming
out
their
own shames;
wandering
stars,
to
whom
has been
reserved
the
gloom
of
darkness
for
eternity.
\VS{14}And
Enoch, [the]
seventh
from
Adam,
prophesied
also
as
to
these,
saying,
Behold, [the]
Lord
has
come amidst
his
holy
myriads,
\VS{15}to
execute
judgment
against
all;
and
to
convict
all
the
ungodly
of
them
of
all
their
works
of
ungodliness,
which
they
have wrought ungodlily,
and
of
all
the
hard [things]
which
ungodly
sinners
have
spoken
against
him.
\VS{16}These
are murmurers, complainers,
walking
after
their
lusts;
and
their
mouth
speaks swelling
words, admiring
persons
for
the
sake
of profit.
\VS{17}But
{\BD{ye}},
beloved,
remember
the
words spoken
before
by
the
apostles
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ,
\VS{18}that
they
said
to
you,
that
at [the]
end
of
the
time
there should
be
mockers,
walking
after
their
own
lusts
of ungodlinesses.
\VS{19}These
are
they
who set [themselves] apart,
natural [men],
not
having [the]
Spirit.
\VS{20}But
{\BD{ye}},
beloved,
building
yourselves
up
on
your
most
holy
faith,
praying
in
the
Holy
Spirit,
\VS{21}keep
yourselves
in
the
love
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:21 }
Elohim}God, awaiting
the
mercy
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ unto
eternal
life.
\VS{22}And
of
some
have compassion, making
a difference,
\VS{23}but
others
save
with
fear,
snatching [them]
out
of
the
fire;
hating
even
the
garment spotted
by
the
flesh.
\VS{24}But
to
him
that
is
able
to
keep
you
without
stumbling,
and
to
set [you]
with exultation
blameless
before
his
glory,
\VS{25}to
the
only
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:25 }
Elohim}God
our Saviour,
through
Jesus
Christ
our
Lord, [be]
glory,
majesty,
might,
and
authority,
from
before
the
whole
age,
and
now,
and
to
all
the
ages.
Amen.
