{\MT The Letter from Jude

\par }\OneChap {\PP \VerseOne{1}Jude,
the
servant
of
Jesus
Christ,
and
brother
of
James:
to
them
that
are
beloved
in
God
the
Father,
and
preserved
in
Jesus
Christ,
and
called.
\VS{2}Mercy unto
you,
and
peace,
and charity
be fulfilled.
\VS{3}Dearly
beloved, taking
all care
to
write unto
you
concerning
your
common
salvation,
I
was
under
a
necessity
to
write unto
you:
to beseech
you
to
contend
earnestly
for
the
faith
once
delivered
to
the
saints.
\VS{4}For
certain
men
are secretly entered
in, (who
were
written
of
long
ago unto
this
judgment,)
ungodly
men, turning
the
grace
of
our
Lord
God
into riotousness,
and
denying
the
only sovereign Ruler,
and
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ.
\VS{5}I
will
therefore admonish
you,
though ye
once
knew
all
things,
that
Jesus, having
saved
the
people
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt,
did afterwards
destroy
them
that
believed
not:
\VS{6}And
the
angels
who
kept
not
their principality,
but forsook
their
own habitation,
he hath
reserved
under
darkness
in everlasting
chains, unto
the
judgment
of
the
great
day.
\VS{7}As
Sodom
and Gomorrha,
and
the neighbouring
cities,
in
like manner, having given
themselves
to fornication,
and
going
after
other
flesh,
were made
an
example, suffering
the
punishment
of
eternal
fire.
\VS{8}In
like
manner
these
men
also
defile
the
flesh,
and despise
dominion,
and
blaspheme majesty.
\VS{9}When
Michael
the
archangel, disputing
with
the
devil, contended
about
the
body
of
Moses,
he durst
not
bring
against
him
the
judgment
of
railing speech,
but
said:
The
Lord
command thee.
\VS{10}But
these
men
blaspheme
whatever
things
they
know
not:
and
what
things soever
they naturally
know,
like dumb beasts,
in
these
they
are
corrupted.
\VS{11}Woe unto
them,
for
they
have
gone
in
the
way
of
Cain:
and
after
the
error
of
Balaam
they
have
for
reward poured out
themselves,
and
have
perished
in
the contradiction
of Core.
\VS{12}These
are spots
in
their banquets,
feasting
together
without
fear,
feeding
themselves,
clouds
without
water,
which
are
carried
about
by
winds,
trees
of
the
autumn,
unfruitful,
twice
dead, plucked up
by
the roots,
\VS{13}Raging
waves
of
the
sea, foaming
out
their
own confusion;
wandering
stars,
to
whom
the storm
of
darkness
is
reserved
for
ever.
\VS{14}Now
of
these
Enoch
also,
the
seventh
from
Adam,
prophesied,
saying:
Behold,
the
Lord cometh
with
thousands
of
his
saints,
\VS{15}To
execute
judgment
upon
all,
and
to
reprove
all
the
ungodly
for
all
the
works
of
their
ungodliness, whereby
they
have
done
ungodly,
and
of
all
the
hard
things
which
ungodly
sinners
have
spoken
against
God.
\VS{16}These
are murmurers, full
of complaints,
walking
according
to
their
own
desires,
and
their
mouth speaketh proud
things, admiring
persons
for gain’s
sake.
\VS{17}But
you,
my dearly
beloved,
be mindful
of
the
words
which
have
been spoken
before
by
the
apostles
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ,
\VS{18}Who
told
you,
that
in
the
last
time
there should
come
mockers,
walking
according
to
their
own
desires
in ungodlinesses.
\VS{19}These
are
they,
who separate
themselves, sensual
men,
having
not
the
Spirit.
\VS{20}But
you,
my
beloved,
building
yourselves upon
your
most
holy
faith,
praying
in
the
Holy Ghost,
\VS{21}Keep
yourselves
in
the
love
of
God,
waiting
for
the
mercy
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ, unto
life everlasting.
\VS{22}And
some
indeed
reprove, being
judged:
\VS{23}But
others
save, pulling
them
out
of
the
fire.
And
on
others
have
mercy,
in
fear,
hating
also
the spotted
garment
which
is carnal.
\VS{24}Now
to
him
who
is
able
to preserve
you
without sin,
and
to present
you spotless
before
the
presence
of
his
glory
with exceeding
joy,
in
the coming
of
our Lord
Jesus
Christ,
\VS{25}To
the
only
God
our Saviour
through
Jesus
Christ
our
Lord,
be
glory
and magnificence, empire
and
power,
before
all
ages,
and
now,
and
for
all
ages
of
ages.
Amen.
