Jude 1
1. Jude <2455>, the servant <1401> of Jesus <2424> Christ
<5547>, and brother <80> of James <2385>, to them that are
sanctified <37> by God <2316> the Father <3962>, and preserved
<5083> in Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, [and] called <2822>:
2 Mercy <1656> unto you, and peace <1515>, and love <26>, be
multiplied <4129>.
3. Beloved <27>, when I gave <4160> all <3956> diligence <4710>
to write <1125> unto you of the common <2839> salvation <4991>,
it was needful <318> for me to write <1125> unto you, and exhort
<3870> [you] that ye should earnestly <1864> contend <1864> for
the faith <4102> which was once <530> delivered <3860> unto the
saints <40>.
4 For there are certain <5100> men <444> crept <3921> in
unawares <3921>, who <3588> were before <4270> of old <3819>
ordained <4270> to this <5124> condemnation <2917>, ungodly
<765> men, turning <3346> the grace <5485> of our God <2316>
into <1519> lasciviousness <766>, and denying <720> the only
<3441> Lord <2962> God <2316>, and our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424>
Christ <5547>.
5 I will <1014> therefore put <5279> you in remembrance <5179>,
though ye once <530> knew <1492> this <5124>, how that the Lord
<2962>, having saved <4982> the people <2992> out of the land
<1093> of Egypt <125>, afterward <1208> destroyed <622> them
that believed <4100> not.
6 And the angels <32> which kept <5083> not their first <746>
estate, but left <620> their own <2398> habitation <3613>, he
hath reserved <5083> in everlasting <126> chains <1199> under
<5259> darkness <2217> unto the judgment <2920> of the great
<3173> day <2250>.
7 Even <5613> as Sodom <4670> and Gomorrha <1116>, and the
cities <4172> about <4012> them in like <3664> manner <5158>,
giving themselves over <1608> to fornication <1608>, and going
<565> after <3694> strange <2087> flesh <4561>, are set <4295>
forth <4295> for an example <1164>, suffering <5254> the
vengeance <1349> of eternal <166> fire <4442>.
8. Likewise <3668> also <2532> these <3778> [filthy] dreamers
<1797> defile <3392> the flesh <4561>, despise <114> dominion
<2963>, and speak <987> evil <987> of dignities <1391>.
9 Yet <1161> Michael <3413> the archangel <743>, when <3753>
contending <1252> with the devil <1228> he disputed <1256> about
<4012> the body <4983> of Moses <3475>, durst <5111> not bring
<2018> against <2018> him a railing <988> accusation <2920>, but
said <2036>, The Lord <2962> rebuke <2008> thee.
10 But these <3778> speak <987> evil <987> of those <3745>
things which <3745> they know <1492> not: but what <3745> they
know <1987> naturally <5447>, as brute <249> beasts <2226>, in
those <5125> things they corrupt <5351> themselves.
11 Woe <3759> unto them! for they have gone <4198> in the way
<3598> of Cain <2535>, and ran <1632> greedily <1632> after the
error <4106> of Balaam <903> for reward <3408>, and perished
<622> in the gainsaying <485> of Core <2879>.
12 These <3778> are spots <4694> in your <5216> feasts of
charity <26>, when they feast <4910> with you, feeding <4165>
themselves <1438> without <870> fear <870>: clouds <3507> [they
are] without <504> water <504>, carried <4064> about <4064> of
winds <417>; trees <1186> whose fruit <5352> withereth <5352>,
without <175> fruit <175>, twice <1364> dead <599>, plucked
<1610> up by the roots <1610>;
13 Raging <66> waves <2949> of the sea <2281>, foaming <1890>
out their own <1438> shame <152>; wandering <4107> stars <792>,
to whom <3739> is reserved <5083> the blackness <2217> of
darkness <4655> for ever <165>.
14 And Enoch <1802> also <2532>, the seventh <1442> from Adam
<76>, prophesied <4395> of these <5125>, saying <3004>, Behold
<2400>, the Lord <2962> cometh <2064> with ten <3461> thousands
<3461> of his saints <40>,
15. To execute <4160> judgment <2920> upon all <3956>, and to
convince <1827> all <3956> that are ungodly <763> among them of
all <3956> their ungodly <763> deeds <2041> which <3739> they
have ungodly <764> committed <764>, and of all <3956> their hard
<4642> [speeches] which <3739> ungodly <765> sinners <268> have
spoken <2980> against <2596> him.
16 These <3778> are murmurers <1113>, complainers <3202>,
walking <4198> after <2596> their own <848> lusts <1939>; and
their mouth <4750> speaketh <2980> great <5246> swelling <5246>
[words], having men's <4283> persons <4383> in admiration <2296>
because <5484> of advantage <5622>.
17 But, beloved <27>, remember <3415> ye the words <4487>
which <3588> were spoken <4280> before <4280> of the apostles
<652> of our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>;
18 How that they told <3004> you there should be mockers
<1703> in the last <2078> time <5550>, who should walk <4198>
after <2596> their own <1438> ungodly <763> lusts <1939>.
19 These <3778> be they who separate <592> themselves <1438>,
sensual <5591>, having <2192> not the Spirit <4151>.
20 But ye, beloved <27>, building <2026> up yourselves <1438>
on your <5216> most <40> holy <40> faith <4102>, praying <4336>
in the Holy <40> Ghost <4151>,
21 Keep <5083> yourselves <1438> in the love <26> of God
<2316>, looking <4327> for the mercy <1656> of our Lord <2962>
Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> unto eternal <166> life <2222>.
22 And of some <3588> have compassion <1653>, making <1252> a
difference <1252>:
23 And others <3739> save <4982> with fear <5401>, pulling
<726> [them] out of the fire <4442>; hating <3404> even <2532>
the garment <5509> spotted <4695> by the flesh <4561>.
24 Now <1161> unto him that is able <1410> to keep <5442> you
from falling <679>, and to present <2476> [you] faultless <299>
before <2714> the presence <2714> of his glory <1391> with
exceeding joy <20>,
25 To the only <3441> wise <4680> God <2316> our Saviour
<4990>, [be] glory <1391> and majesty <3172>, dominion <2904>
and power <1849>, both <2532> now <3568> and ever <165>. Amen
<281>.
