Jud 01:01 ¶ Jud <2455>, the servant <1401> of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, and <1161> brother <80> of James <2385>, to them that are sanctified <37> (5772) by <1722> God <2316> the Father <3962>, and <2532> preserved <5083> (5772) in Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, and called <2822>: Jud 01:02 Mercy <1656> unto you <5213>, and <2532> peace <1515>, and <2532> love <26>, be multiplied <4129> (5684). Jud 01:03 ¶ Beloved <27>, when I gave <4160> (5734) all <3956> diligence <4710> to write <1125> (5721) unto you <5213> of <4012> the common <2839> salvation <4991>, it was <2192> <0> needful <318> for me <2192> (5627) to write <1125> (5658) unto you <5213>, and exhort <3870> (5723) you that ye should earnestly contend <1864> (5738) for the faith <4102> which was once <530> delivered <3860> (5685) unto the saints <40>. Jud 01:04 For <1063> there are certain <5100> men <444> crept in unawares <3921> (5656), who <3588> were before <4270> <0> of old <3819> ordained <4270> (5772) to <1519> this <5124> condemnation <2917>, ungodly men <765>, turning <3346> (5723) the grace <5485> of our <2257> God <2316> into <1519> lasciviousness and <2532> denying <720> (5740) the only <3441> Lord <1203> God <2316>, and <2532> our <2257> Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>. Jud 01:05 I will <1014> (5736) therefore <1161> put <5279> <0> you <5209> in remembrance <5279> (5658), though ye <5209> once <530> knew <1492> (5761) this <5124>, how that <3754> the Lord <2962>, having saved <4982> (5660) the people <2992> out of <1537> the land <1093> of Egypt <125>, afterward <1208> destroyed <622> (5656) them that believed <4100> (5660) not <3361>. Jud 01:06 And <5037> the angels <32> which kept <5083> (5660) not <3361> their <1438> first estate <746>, but <235> left <620> (5631) their own <2398> habitation <3613>, he hath reserved <5083> (5758) in everlasting <126> chains <1199> under <5259> darkness <2217> unto <1519> the judgment <2920> of the great <3173> day <2250>. Jud 01:07 Even as <5613> Sodom <4670> and <2532> Gomorrha <1116>, and <2532> the cities <4172> about <4012> them <846> in like <3664> <5125> manner <5158>, giving themselves over to fornication <1608> (5660), and <2532> going <565> (5631) after <3694> strange <2087> flesh <4561>, are set forth for <4295> (5736) an example <1164>, suffering <5254> (5723) the vengeance <1349> of eternal <166> fire <4442>. Jud 01:08 ¶ Likewise <3668> <3305> also <2532> these <3778> filthy dreamers <1797> (5740) defile <3392> (5719) the flesh <3303> <4561>, <1161> despise <114> (5719) dominion <2963>, and <1161> speak evil <987> (5719) of dignities <1391>. Jud 01:09 Yet <1161> Michael <3413> the archangel <743>, when <3753> contending <1252> (5734) with the devil <1228> he disputed <1256> (5711) about <4012> the body <4983> of Moses <3475>, durst <5111> (5656) not <3756> bring against him <2018> (5629) a railing <988> accusation <2920>, but <235> said <2036> (5627), The Lord <2962> rebuke <2008> (5659) thee <4671>. Jud 01:10 But <1161> these <3778> speak evil of <987> (5719) those things which <3745> <3303> they know <1492> (5758) not <3756>: but <1161> what <3745> they know <1987> (5736) naturally <5447>, as <5613> brute <249> beasts <2226>, in <1722> those things <5125> they corrupt themselves <5351> (5743). Jud 01:11 Woe <3759> unto them <846>! for <3754> they have gone <4198> (5675) in the way <3598> of Cain <2535>, and <2532> ran greedily after <1632> (5681) the error <4106> of Balaam <903> for reward <3408>, and <2532> perished <622> (5639) in the gainsaying <485> of Core <2879>. Jud 01:12 These <3778> are <1526> (5748) spots <4694> in <1722> your <5216> feasts of charity <26>, when they feast <4910> (5740) with you <5213>, feeding <4165> (5723) themselves <1438> without fear <870>: clouds <3507> they are without water <504>, carried about <4064> (5746) of <5259> winds <417>; trees <1186> whose fruit withereth <5352>, without fruit <175>, twice <1364> dead <599> (5631), plucked up by the roots <1610> (5685); Jud 01:13 Raging <66> waves <2949> of the sea <2281>, foaming out <1890> (5723) their own <1438> shame <152>; wandering <4107> stars <792>, to whom <3739> is reserved <5083> (5769) the blackness <2217> of darkness <4655> for <1519> ever <165>. Jud 01:14 And <1161> Enoch <1802> also <2532>, the seventh <1442> from <575> Adam <76>, prophesied <4395> (5656) of these <5125>, saying <3004> (5723), Behold <2400> (5628), the Lord <2962> cometh <2064> (5627) with <1722> ten thousands <3461> of his <846> saints <40>, Jud 01:15 ¶ To execute <4160> (5658) judgment <2920> upon <2596> all <3956>, and <2532> to convince <1827> (5658) all <3956> that are ungodly <765> among them <846> of <4012> all <3956> their <846> ungodly <763> deeds <2041> which <3739> they have ungodly committed <764> (5656), and <2532> of <4012> all <3956> their hard <4642> speeches which <3739> ungodly <765> sinners <268> have spoken <2980> (5656) against <2596> him <846>. Jud 01:16 These <3778> are <1526> (5748) murmurers <1113>, complainers <3202>, walking <4198> (5740) after <2596> their own <846> lusts <1939>; and <2532> their <846> mouth <4750> speaketh <2980> (5719) great swelling <5246> words, having men’s persons <4383> in admiration <2296> (5723) because <5484> of advantage <5622>. Jud 01:17 But <1161>, beloved <27>, remember <3415> (5682) ye <5210> the words <4487> which <3588> were spoken before <4280> (5772) of <5259> the apostles <652> of our <2257> Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>; Jud 01:18 How <3754> that <3754> they told <3004> (5707) you <5213> there should be <2071> (5704) mockers <1703> in <1722> the last <2078> time <5550>, who should walk <4198> (5740) after <2596> their own <1438> ungodly <763> lusts <1939>. Jud 01:19 These <3778> be <1526> (5748) they who separate <592> (5723) themselves <1438>, sensual <5591>, having <2192> (5723) not <3361> the Spirit <4151>. Jud 01:20 But <1161> ye <5210>, beloved <27>, building up <2026> (5723) yourselves <1438> on your <5216> most holy <40> faith <4102>, praying <4336> (5740) in <1722> the Holy <40> Ghost <4151>, Jud 01:21 Keep <5083> (5657) yourselves <1438> in <1722> the love <26> of God <2316>, looking for <4327> (5740) the mercy <1656> of our <2257> Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> unto <1519> eternal <166> life <2222>. Jud 01:22 And <2532> <3303> of some <3739> have compassion <1653> (5720), making a difference <1252> (5734): Jud 01:23 And <1161> others <3739> save <4982> (5720) with <1722> fear <5401>, pulling <726> (5723) them out of <1537> the fire <4442>; hating <3404> (5723) even <2532> the garment <5509> spotted <4695> (5772) by <575> the flesh <4561>. Jud 01:24 Now <1161> unto him that is able <1410> (5740) to keep <5442> (5658) you <5209> (5625) <846> from falling <679>, and <2532> to present <2476> (5658) you faultless <299> before the presence <2714> of his <846> glory <1391> with <1722> exceeding joy <20>, Jud 01:25 To the only <3441> wise <4680> God <2316>, our <2257> Saviour <4990>, be glory <1391> and <2532> majesty <3172>, dominion <2904> and <2532> power <1849>, both <2532> now <3568> and <2532> ever <1519> <3956> <165>. Amen <281>. ~~~~~~
