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 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 Saviour, [be] glory and majesty,
 dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.
