JU-1:1  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:

JU-1:2  Mercy unto you, and peace and love, be multiplied.

JU-1:3  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.

JU-1:4  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.

JU-1:5  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.

JU-1:6  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.

JU-1:7  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.

JU-1:8  Likewise also these [filthy] dreamers defile the flesh,

despise

dominion, and speak evil of dignities.

JU-1:9  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.

JU-1:10  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.

JU-1:11  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.

JU-1:12  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;

JU-1:13  Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame;

wandering stars,

to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.

JU-1:14  And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of

these, saying,

Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,

JU-1:15  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.

JU-1:16  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.

JU-1:17  But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken

before of the

apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;

JU-1:18  How that they told you there should be mockers in the

last time, who

should walk after their own ungodly lusts.

JU-1:19  These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having

not the Spirit.

JU-1:20  But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most

holy faith,

praying in the Holy Ghost,

JU-1:21  Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the

mercy of our Lord

Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

JU-1:22  And of some have compassion, making a difference:

JU-1:23  And others save with fear, pulling [them] out of the

fire; hating even

the garment spotted by the flesh.

JU-1:24  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,

JU-1:25  To the only wise God our Saviour, [be] glory and

majesty, dominion and

power, both now and for ever. Amen.
