1Jude, the servantof JesusChrist, andbrotherof James, to them that are sanctifiedbyGodthe Father, andpreservedin JesusChrist, and called: 2Mercyunto you, andpeace, andlove, be multiplied.
3Beloved, when I gavealldiligenceto writeunto youofthe commonsalvation, it wasneedfulfor meto writeunto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contendfor the faithwhich wasoncedeliveredunto the saints. 4Forthere arecertainmencrept in unawares, who werebefore of oldordainedtothiscondemnation, ungodly men, turningthe graceofourGodintolasciviousness, anddenyingtheonlyLordGod, andourLordJesusChrist.
5I willthereforeputyouin remembrance, thoughyeonceknewthis, how thatthe Lord, having savedthe peopleout ofthe landof Egypt, afterwarddestroyedthem that believednot. 6Andthe angelswhich keptnottheirfirst estate, butlefttheir ownhabitation, he hath reservedineverlastingchainsunderdarknessuntothe judgmentof thegreatday. 7Even asSodomandGomorrha, andthe citiesabouttheminlikemanner, giving themselves over to fornication, andgoingafterstrangeflesh, are set forthfor an example, sufferingthe vengeanceofeternalfire.
8Likewisealsothese filthy dreamersdefilethe flesh, despisedominion, andspeak evilof dignities. 9YetMichaelthe archangel, whencontendingwith the devilhe disputedaboutthe bodyof Moses, durstnotbring against himarailingaccusation, butsaid, The Lordrebukethee. 10Butthesespeak evilof those things whichthey knownot: butwhatthey knownaturally, asbrutebeasts, inthose thingsthey corrupt themselves.
11Woeunto them! forthey have gonein the wayof Cain, andran greedilyafter the errorof Balaamfor reward, andperishedin the gainsayingof Core. 12Thesearespotsinyourfeasts of charity, when they feast withyou, feedingthemselveswithout fear: clouds they are without water, carried aboutofwinds; treeswhose fruit withereth, without fruit, twicedead, plucked up by the roots; 13Ragingwavesof the sea, foaming outtheir ownshame; wanderingstars, to whomis reserved the blacknessof darknessforever.
14AndEnochalso, the seventhfromAdam, prophesiedof these, saying, Behold, the Lordcomethwithten thousandsofhissaints, 15To executejudgmentuponall, andto convinceallthat are ungodlyamong themofalltheirungodlydeedswhichthey have ungodly committed, andofalltheir hard speeches whichungodlysinnershave spokenagainsthim. 16Thesearemurmurers, complainers, walkingaftertheir ownlusts; andtheirmouthspeakethgreat swelling words, havingmen’s personsin admirationbecause ofadvantage.
17But, beloved, rememberyethe wordswhich were spoken beforeofthe apostlesofourLordJesusChrist; 18How thatthey toldyouthere should bemockersinthelasttime, who should walkaftertheir ownungodlylusts. 19Thesebethey who separatethemselves, sensual, havingnotthe Spirit.
20Butye, beloved, building upyourselvesonyourmost holyfaith, prayingintheHolyGhost, 21Keepyourselvesinthe loveof God, looking forthe mercyofourLordJesusChristuntoeternallife. 22Andof somehave compassion, making a difference: 23Andotherssavewithfear, pulling them out ofthe fire; hatingeventhe garmentspottedbythe flesh.
24Nowunto him that is ableto keepyoufrom falling, andto present you faultlessbefore the presenceofhisglorywithexceeding joy, 25To theonlywiseGodourSaviour, be gloryandmajesty, dominionandpower, bothnowandever. Amen.
