1Jude, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, To those who are called, sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ:

1From: Jude, a servant of Jesus the Messiah, and yet a brother of James. To: Those who have been called, who are loved by God the Father and kept safe by Jesus, the Messiah.

2Mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you.

2May mercy, peace, and love be yours in abundance!

3Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you concerning our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints.

3Dear friends, although I was eager to write to you about the salvation we share, I found it necessary to write to you and urge you to continue your vigorous defense of the faith that was passed down to the saints once and for all.

4For certain men have crept in unnoticed, who long ago were marked out for this condemnation, ungodly men, who turn the grace of our God into lewdness and deny the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ.

4For some people have slipped in among you unnoticed. They were written about long ago as being deserving of this condemnation because they are ungodly. They turn the grace of our God into uncontrollable lust and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus the Messiah.

5But I want to remind you, though you once knew this, that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe.

5Now I want to remind you, even though you are fully aware of these things, that the Lord who once saved his people from the land of Egypt later destroyed those who did not believe.

6And the angels who did not keep their proper domain, but left their own abode, He has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day;

6He has also held in eternal chains those angels who did not keep their own position but abandoned their assigned place. They are held in deepest darkness for judgment on the great day.

7as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them in a similar manner to these, having given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

7Likewise, Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities near them, which like them committed sexual sins and pursued homosexual activities, serve as an example of the punishment of eternal fire.

8Likewise also these dreamers defile the flesh, reject authority, and speak evil of dignitaries.

8In a similar way, these dreamers also defile their flesh, reject the Lord's authority, and slander his glorious beings.

9Yet Michael the archangel, in contending with the devil, when he disputed about the body of Moses, dared not bring against him a reviling accusation, but said, “The Lord rebuke you!”

9Even the archangel Michael, when he argued with the devil and fought over the body of Moses, did not dare to bring a slanderous accusation against him. Instead, he said, "May the Lord rebuke you!"

10But these speak evil of whatever they do not know; and whatever they know naturally, like brute beasts, in these things they corrupt themselves.

10Whatever these people do not understand, they slander. Like irrational animals, they are destroyed by the very things they know by instinct.

11Woe to them! For they have gone in the way of Cain, have run greedily in the error of Balaam for profit, and perished in the rebellion of Korah.

11How terrible it will be for them! For they lived like Cain did , rushed headlong into Balaam's error to make a profit, and destroyed themselves, as happened in Korah's rebellion.

12These are spots in your love feasts, while they feast with you without fear, serving only themselves. They are clouds without water, carried about by the winds; late autumn trees without fruit, twice dead, pulled up by the roots;

12These people are stains on your love feasts. They feast with you without any sense of awe. They are shepherds who care only for themselves. They are waterless clouds blown about by the winds. They are autumn trees that are fruitless, totally dead, and uprooted.

13raging waves of the sea, foaming up their own shame; wandering stars for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever.

13They are wild waves of the sea, churning up the foam of their own shame. They are wandering stars for whom the deepest darkness has been reserved forever.

14Now Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men also, saying, “Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of His saints,

14Enoch, in the seventh generation from Adam, prophesied about these people when he said, "Look! The Lord has come with countless thousands of his holy ones.

15to execute judgment on all, to convict all who are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have committed in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.”

15He will judge all people and convict everyone of all the ungodly things that they have done in such an ungodly way, including all the harsh things that these ungodly sinners have said about him."

16These are grumblers, complainers, walking according to their own lusts; and they mouth great swelling words, flattering people to gain advantage.

16These people are complainers and faultfinders, following their own desires. They say arrogant things and flatter people in order to take advantage of them.

17But you, beloved, remember the words which were spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ:

17But you, dear friends, must remember the statements and predictions of the apostles of our Lord Jesus, the Messiah.

18how they told you that there would be mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own ungodly lusts.

18They kept telling you, "In the last times there will be mockers, following their own ungodly desires."

19These are sensual persons, who cause divisions, not having the Spirit.

19These are the people who cause divisions. They are worldly, devoid of the Spirit.

20But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit,

20But you, dear friends, must continue to build your most holy faith for your own benefit. Furthermore, continue to pray in the Holy Spirit.

21keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

21Remain in God's love as you look for the mercy of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, which brings eternal life.

22And on some have compassion, making a distinction;

22Show mercy to those who have doubts.

23but others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire, hating even the garment defiled by the flesh.

23Save others by snatching them from the fire. To others, show mercy with fear, hating even the clothes stained by their sinful lives.

24Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy,

24Now to the one who is able to keep you from falling and to make you stand joyful and faultless in his glorious presence,

25To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.

25to the only God, our Savior, through Jesus the Messiah, our Lord, be glory, majesty, power, and authority before all time and for all eternity! Amen.
