The Book of Jude

 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:

JUDE 1:2 Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied.

JUDE 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.

JUDE 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.

JUDE 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.

JUDE 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.

JUDE 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.

JUDE 1:8 Likewise also these {filthy} dreamers defile the flesh,

despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.

JUDE 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.

JUDE 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.

JUDE 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.

JUDE 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;

JUDE 1:13 Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame;

wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness

for ever.

JUDE 1:14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of

these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his

saints,

JUDE 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.

JUDE 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.

JUDE 1:17 But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken

before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;

JUDE 1:18 How that they told you there should be mockers in the

last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.

JUDE 1:19 These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having

not the spirit.

JUDE 1:20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most

holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,

JUDE 1:21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the

mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

JUDE 1:22 And of some have compassion, making a difference:

JUDE 1:23 And others save with fear, pulling {them} out of the

fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.

JUDE 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,

JUDE 1:25 To the only wise God our Saviour, {be} glory and

majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.
