Jude 1

1Jude, a servant of Yeshua Messiah, and brother of James, to those who are called, beloved in God the Father, and kept for Yeshua Messiah: 2Mercy to you and peace and love be multiplied. 3Beloved, while I was giving all diligence to write to you of 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 saints. 4For certain men have crept in unnoticed, even those who were long ago written of beforehand for this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying our only Master and Lord, Yeshua Messiah. 5Now I desire to put you in remembrance, though you know all things once for all, that the Lord, having saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe. 6And angels who did not keep their own principality, but left their proper habitation, he has kept in everlasting bonds under darkness for the judgment of the great day. 7Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them, having in like manner with these given themselves over to fornication and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the punishment of eternal fire. 8Yet in like manner these also in their dreamings defile the flesh, and despise dominion, and revile dignities. 9But Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, did not dare to bring against him a reviling judgment, but said, The Lord rebuke you. 10But these revile whatever things they do not know: and what they understand naturally, like the creatures without reason, in these things they are destroyed. 11Woe to them! for they went in the way of Cain, and ran riotously in the error of Balaam for hire, and perished in the rebellion of Korah. 12These are they who are hidden rocks in your love-feasts when they feast with you, shepherds that without fear feed themselves; clouds without water, carried along by winds; autumn trees without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots; 13wild waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, for whom the blackness of darkness has been reserved forever. 14And to these also Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying, Behold, the Lord came with ten thousands of his holy ones, 15to execute judgment on all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their works of ungodliness which they have committed in an ungodly way, and of all the hard things which ungodly sinners have spoken against him. 16These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their lusts (and their mouth speaks great swelling words), showing partiality for the sake of advantage. 17But you, beloved, remember the words which have been spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Yeshua Messiah; 18that they said to you, In the last time there shall be mockers, walking after their own ungodly lusts. 19These are they who make separations, sensual, not having the Spirit. 20But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, 21keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Yeshua Messiah to eternal life. 22And on some have mercy, who are in doubt; 23and some save, snatching them out of the fire; and on some have mercy with fear; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh. 24Now to him who is able to guard you from stumbling, and to set you before the presence of his glory without blemish in exceeding joy, 25to the only God our Savior, through Yeshua Messiah our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and power, before all time, and now, and forevermore. Amen.
