|
1. Jude G2455 , the servant G1401 of Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 , and G1161 brother G80 of James G2385 , to them that are sanctified G37 by G1722 God G2316 the Father G3962 , and G2532 preserved G5083 in Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 , and called G2822 .
|
|
2. Mercy and peace, and love be multiplied to you.
|
2. Mercy G1656 unto you G5213 , and G2532 peace G1515 , and G2532 love G26 , be multiplied G4129 .
|
|
3. Having made all haste to write to you about the common salvation, beloved, I had need to write to you to exhort you to contend earnestly for the faith once delivered to the saints.
|
3. Beloved G27 , when I gave G4160 all G3956 diligence G4710 to write G1125 unto you G5213 of G4012 the G3588 common G2839 salvation G4991 , it was needful G2192 G318 for me to write G1125 unto you G5213 , and exhort G3870 you that ye should earnestly contend for G1864 the G3588 faith G4102 which was once G530 delivered G3860 unto the G3588 saints G40 .
|
|
4. For certain men stole in, those of old having been written before to this judgment, ungodly ones perverting the grace of our God into unbridled lust, and denying the only Master, God, even our Lord Jesus Christ.
|
4. For G1063 there are certain G5100 men G444 crept in unawares G3921 , who were before of old ordained G4270 G3819 to G1519 this G5124 condemnation G2917 , ungodly men G765 , turning G3346 the G3588 grace G5485 of our G2257 God G2316 into G1519 lasciviousness G766 , and G2532 denying G720 the G3588 only G3441 Lord G1203 God G2316 , and G2532 our G2257 Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 .
|
|
5. But I intend to remind you, you once knowing these things, that the Lord having saved a people out of the land of Egypt, in the second place destroyed the ones not believing.
|
5. I G1161 will G1014 therefore put you in remembrance G5279 G5209 , though ye G5209 once G530 knew G1492 this G5124 , how that G3754 the G3588 Lord G2962 , having saved G4982 the people G2992 out of G1537 the land G1093 of Egypt G125 , afterward G1208 destroyed G622 them that believed G4100 not G3361 .
|
|
6. And those angels not having kept their first place, but having deserted their dwelling-place, He has kept in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of a great Day;
|
6. And G5037 the angels G32 which kept G5083 not G3361 their G1438 first estate G746 , but G235 left G620 their own G2398 habitation G3613 , he hath reserved G5083 in everlasting G126 chains G1199 under G5259 darkness G2217 unto G1519 the judgment G2920 of the great G3173 day G2250 .
|
|
7. as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them, in like manner to these, committing fornication, and going away after other flesh, laid down an example before-times, undergoing vengeance of everlasting fire.
|
7. Even as G5613 Sodom G4670 and G2532 Gomorrah G1116 , and G2532 the G3588 cities G4172 about G4012 them G846 in like manner G3664 G5158 , giving themselves over to fornication G1608 , and G2532 going G565 after G3694 strange G2087 flesh G4561 , are set forth G4295 for an example G1164 , suffering G5254 the vengeance G1349 of eternal G166 fire G4442 .
|
|
8. Likewise, indeed, also these dreaming ones even defile flesh, and despise rulership, and speak evil of glories.
|
8. Likewise G3668 also G2532 these G3778 filthy dreamers G1797 defile G3392 the flesh G4561 G3303 , despise G114 dominion G2963 , and G1161 speak evil of G987 dignities G1391 .
|
|
9. But Michael the archangel, when contending with the Devil, he argued about the body of Moses; he dared not bring a judgment of blasphemy, but said, "Let the Lord rebuke you!" Zech. 3:2
|
9. Yet G1161 Michael G3413 the G3588 archangel G743 , when G3753 contending G1252 with the G3588 devil G1228 he disputed G1256 about G4012 the G3588 body G4983 of Moses G3475 , durst G5111 not G3756 bring against G2018 him a railing G988 accusation G2920 , but G235 said G2036 , The Lord G2962 rebuke G2008 thee G4671 .
|
|
10. But what things they do not know, they speak evil of these. And what things they understand naturally, like the animals without reason, they are corrupted by these.
|
10. But G1161 these G3778 speak evil of G987 those things G3745 which they G3303 know G1492 not G3756 : but G1161 what G3745 they know G1987 naturally G5447 , as G5613 brute G249 beasts G2226 , in G1722 those things G5125 they corrupt themselves G5351 .
|
|
11. Woe to them, because they went the way of Cain, and gave themselves up to the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the speaking against of Korah!
|
11. Woe G3759 unto them G846 ! for G3754 they have gone G4198 in the G3588 way G3598 of Cain G2535 , and G2532 ran greedily after G1632 the G3588 error G4106 of Balaam G903 for reward G3408 , and G2532 perished G622 in the G3588 gainsaying G485 of Korah G2879 .
|
|
12. These are sunken rocks in your love feasts, feasting together with you, feeding themselves without fear, waterless clouds being carried about by winds, fruitless autumn trees, having died twice, having been plucked up by the roots;
|
12. These G3778 are G1526 spots G4694 in G1722 your G5216 feasts of charity G26 , when they feast with G4910 you G5213 , feeding G4165 themselves G1438 without fear G870 : clouds G3507 they are without water G504 , carried about G4064 of G5259 winds G417 ; trees G1186 whose fruit withereth G5352 , without fruit G175 , twice G1364 dead G599 , plucked up by the roots G1610 ;
|
|
13. wild waves of the sea foaming up their shames, wandering stars for whom blackness of darkness has been kept to the age.
|
13. Raging G66 waves G2949 of the sea G2281 , foaming out G1890 their own G1438 shame G152 ; wandering G4107 stars G792 , to whom G3739 is reserved G5083 the G3588 blackness G2217 of darkness G4655 forever G1519 G165 .
|
|
14. And "the seventh from Adam," Enoch, also prophesied to these men, saying, Behold, "the Lord came with" myriads "of His saints,"
|
14. And G1161 Enoch G1802 also G2532 , the seventh G1442 from G575 Adam G76 , prophesied G4395 of these G5125 , saying G3004 , Behold G2400 , the Lord G2962 cometh G2064 with G1722 ten thousands G3461 of his G848 saints G40 ,
|
|
15. "to do judgment against all, and to rebuke all" the ungodly of them concerning all their ungodly works which they ungodly did, "and concerning all the hard things ungodly sinners spoke against Him." I Enoch 1:9; 5:4; 60:8
|
15. To execute G4160 judgment G2920 upon G2596 all G3956 , and G2532 to convince G1827 all G3956 that are ungodly G765 among them G846 of G4012 all G3956 their G848 ungodly G763 deeds G2041 which G3739 they have ungodly committed G764 , and G2532 of G4012 all G3956 their hard G4642 speeches which G3739 ungodly G765 sinners G268 have spoken G2980 against G2596 him G846 .
|
|
16. These are murmurers, complainers, going according to their lusts, and their mouth speaks proud things, admiring faces for the sake of gain.
|
16. These G3778 are G1526 murmurers G1113 , complainers G3202 , walking G4198 after G2596 their own G848 lusts G1939 ; and G2532 their G848 mouth G4750 speaketh G2980 great swelling G5246 words, having men's persons in admiration G2296 G4383 because of G5484 advantage G5622 .
|
|
17. But you, beloved, remember the words spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ,
|
17. But G1161 , beloved G27 , remember G3415 ye G5210 the G3588 words G4487 which were spoken before G4280 of G5259 the G3588 apostles G652 of our G2257 Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 ;
|
|
18. because they told you that at the last time there will be mockers following ungodlinesses according to their lusts.
|
18. How that G3754 they told G3004 you G5213 there should G3754 be G2071 mockers G1703 in G1722 the last G2078 time G5550 , who should walk G4198 after G2596 their own G1438 ungodly G763 lusts G1939 .
|
|
19. These are they setting themselves apart, animal-like ones, not having the Spirit.
|
19. These G3778 be G1526 they who separate G592 themselves G1438 , sensual G5591 , having G2192 not G3361 the Spirit G4151 .
|
|
20. But you, beloved, building yourselves up by your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit,
|
20. But G1161 ye G5210 , beloved G27 , building up G2026 yourselves G1438 on your G5216 most holy G40 faith G4102 , praying G4336 in G1722 the Holy G40 Ghost G4151 ,
|
|
21. keep yourselves in the love of God, eagerly awaiting the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to everlasting life.
|
21. Keep G5083 yourselves G1438 in G1722 the love G26 of God G2316 , looking for G4327 the G3588 mercy G1656 of our G2257 Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 unto G1519 eternal G166 life G2222 .
|
|
22. And pity some, making a distinction.
|
22. And G2532 of some G3739 G3303 have compassion G1653 , making a difference G1252 :
|
|
23. But save others with fear, snatching them out of the fire, hating even the garment being stained from the flesh.
|
23. And G1161 others G3739 save G4982 with G1722 fear G5401 , pulling G726 them out of G1537 the G3588 fire G4442 ; hating G3404 even G2532 the G3588 garment G5509 spotted G4696 by G575 the G3588 flesh G4561 .
|
|
24. Now to Him being able to keep you without stumbling, and to set you before His glory without blemish, with unspeakable joy;
|
24. Now G1161 unto him that is able G1410 to keep G5442 you G5209 from falling G679 , and G2532 to present G2476 you faultless G299 before the presence G2714 of his G848 glory G1391 with G1722 exceeding joy G20 ,
|
|
25. to the only wise God, our Savior, be glory and majesty and might and authority, even now and forever. Amen.
|
25. To the only G3441 wise G4680 God G2316 our G2257 Savior G4990 , be glory G1391 and G2532 majesty G3172 , dominion G2904 and G2532 power G1849 , both G2532 now G3568 and G2532 ever G1519 G3956 G165 . Amen G281 .
