\par }\OneChap {\PP \VerseOne{1}Judah,\FTNT{*}{{\FR 1:1 }
or, Judah}

servant
of Yeshua
the
Messiah,\FTNT{†}{{\FR 1:1 }
“Messiah” means “Anointed One”.}
and
brother
of Jacob,
to
those
who
are
called, sanctified
by
God
the
Father,
and
kept
for Yeshua
the
Messiah:
\VS{2}May
mercy,
peace,
and
love
be
multiplied
to
you.
\par }{\PP \VS{3}Beloved,
while
I
was
very
eager
to
write
to
you
about
our
common
salvation,
I
was constrained
to
write
to
you
exhorting
you
to
contend
earnestly
for
the
faith
which
was
once
for
all
delivered
to
the
holy
ones.
\VS{4}For
there
are
certain
men
who
crept
in secretly,
even
those
who
were
long
ago
written
about
for
this
condemnation:
ungodly
men, turning
the
grace
of
our
God
into indecency,
and
denying
our
only
Master,
God,
and
Lord, Yeshua
the
Messiah.
\par }{\PP \VS{5}Now
I
desire
to
remind
you,
though
you already
know
this,
that
the
Lord, having
saved
a
people
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt, afterward
destroyed
those
who
didn’t
believe.
\VS{6}Angels
who
didn’t
keep
their
first
domain,
but deserted
their
own
dwelling place,
he
has
kept
in everlasting
bonds
under
darkness
for
the judgement
of
the
great
day.
\VS{7}Even
as
Sodom
and
Gomorrah
and
the
cities
around
them, having
in
the
same
way
as
these given
themselves
over
to sexual
immorality
and
gone
after
strange
flesh,
are shown
as
an
example, suffering
the
punishment
of
eternal
fire.
\VS{8}Yet
in
the
same
way,
these
also
in
their
dreaming
defile
the
flesh, despise
authority,
and
slander celestial beings.
\VS{9}But
Michael,
the
archangel,
when contending
with
the
devil
and
arguing
about
the
body
of
Moses,
dared
not
bring
against
him
an
abusive condemnation,
but
said, “May
the
Lord
rebuke
you!”
\VS{10}But
these speak
evil
of
whatever
things
they
don’t
know.
They
are
destroyed
in
these
things
that
they
understand naturally,
like
the
creatures
without reason.
\VS{11}Woe
to
them!
For
they
went
in
the
way
of
Cain,
and ran riotously
in
the
error
of
Balaam
for hire,
and
perished
in Korah’s
rebellion.
\VS{12}These
are
hidden rocky
reefs
in
your
love
feasts
when
they
feast
with
you, shepherds
who
without
fear feed
themselves;
clouds
without
water,
carried
along
by
winds;
autumn
trees
without
fruit,
twice
dead, plucked up
by
the roots;
\VS{13}wild
waves
of
the
sea, foaming
out
their
own
shame;
wandering
stars,
for
whom
the blackness
of
darkness
has been
reserved
forever.
\VS{14}About
these
also
Enoch,
the
seventh
from
Adam,
prophesied,
saying, “Behold,\FTNT{‡}{{\FR 1:14 }
“Behold”, from “ἰδοὺ”, means look at, take notice, observe, see, or gaze at. It is often used as an interjection.}
the
Lord
came
with ten
thousands
of
his
holy
ones,
\VS{15}to
execute judgement
on
all,
and
to
convict
all
the
ungodly
of
all
their
works
of
ungodliness
which
they
have
done
in
an
ungodly
way,
and
of
all
the
hard
things
which
ungodly
sinners
have
spoken
against
him.”
\VS{16}These
are murmurers
and complainers,
walking
after
their
lusts—and
their
mouth
speaks proud
things—showing respect
of
persons
to gain
advantage.
\par }{\PP \VS{17}But
you,
beloved,
remember
the
words
which
have
been spoken
before
by
the emissaries
of
our
Lord Yeshua
the
Messiah.
\VS{18}They
said
to
you, “In
the
last
time
there
will
be
mockers,
walking
after
their
own
ungodly
lusts.”
\VS{19}These
are
those
who
cause
divisions
and
are sensual,
not
having
the
Spirit.
\par }{\PP \VS{20}But
you,
beloved, keep
building
up
yourselves
on
your
most
holy
faith,
praying
in
the
Holy
Spirit.
\VS{21}Keep
yourselves
in
God’s
love,
looking
for
the
mercy
of
our
Lord Yeshua
the
Messiah
to
eternal
life.
\VS{22}On
some
have compassion, making
a
distinction,
\VS{23}and
some
save,
snatching
them
out
of
the
fire
with
fear,
hating
even
the clothing
stained
by
the
flesh.
\par }{\PP \VS{24}Now
to
him
who
is
able
to
keep
them\FTNT{§}{{\FR 1:24 }
TR and NU read “you”}
from
stumbling,
and
to present
you faultless
before
the
presence
of
his
glory
in
great
joy,
\VS{25}to
God
our Saviour,
who
alone
is wise,
be
glory
and
majesty,
dominion
and
power,
both
now
and
forever.
Amen.
