The Epistle of Jude
Ch. 1 Jude
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:
1:2 Mercy unto you, and peace,
and love be multiplied.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
1:8 Likewise, also, these filthy
dreamers defile the flesh, despise
dominion, and speak evil of dignities.
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.
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.
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.
1:12 These are spots in your feasts
of love, (*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;
1:13 raging waves of the sea,
foaming out their own shame;
wandering stars, to whom is
reserved the blackness of
darkness for ever.
1:14 And Enoch also,
the seventh from Adam,
prophesied of these, saying,
Behold, the Lord cometh,
with ten thousands of his saints,
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.
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.
1:17 But, beloved,
remember ye the words which were
spoken before, of the
apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;
1:18 How that they told you,
there should be
mockers in the last time,
who should walk after their
own ungodly lusts.
1:19 These be they who
separate themselves.
Sensual, having not the Spirit.
1:20 But ye, beloved,
building up yourselves on your most
holy faith,
praying in the Holy Ghost,
1:21 keep yourselves in the love of God,
looking for the mercy of our
Lord Jesus Christ, unto eternal life.
1:22 And of some, have compassion,
making a difference:
1:23 And others, save with fear,
pulling them out of the fire;
hating even the garment spotted by
the flesh.
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,
1:25 to the only wise God, our Savior,
be glory and majesty,
dominion and power,
both now, and ever. Amen.
