Jude 1:9-25 ▼

9 But Michael the archangel, when disputing with the devil, reasoning about the body of Moses, did not dare to bring against him a judgment of blasphemy, but he said, “The Lord rebuke you!”

10 But these indeed blaspheme whatever things they have not seen; and whatever things they understand naturally, as the irrational animals, in these things they corrupt themselves.

11 Woe to them, because they went in the way of Cain, and they rushed for profit to the error of Balaam, and they perished in the rebellion of Korah.

12 These are the ones in your? love feasts, hidden reefs feasting with you fearlessly, shepherding themselves; clouds without waters, being carried about by winds; autumnal trees without fruit, twice having died, having been uprooted;

13 wild waves of the sea, foaming out of their shame; wandering stars, for whom the gloom of darkness has been kept unto the age.

14 And Enoch, the seventh from Adam, also prophesied as to these, saying: “Behold, the Lord came amidst myriads of His holy ones,

15 to do judgment against all, and to convict all the ungodly concerning all their works of ungodliness that they did in an ungodly way, and concerning all the harsh things that ungodly sinners spoke against Him.”

16 These are grumblers, discontented, going according to their own passions; and their mouth speaks great swelling words, flattering faces for the sake of profit.

17 But you?, beloved, remember the words having been spoken beforehand by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ,

18 that they were saying to you?, “In the last time there will be scoffers, going according to their own passions of ungodlinesses.”

19 These are those causing divisions, natural men, not having the Spirit.

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

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

22 And indeed have mercy on those who are doubting;

23 and save others, snatching them out of the fire; and show mercy to others with fear, hating even the clothing having been stained from the flesh.

24 Now to Him being able to keep you? from stumbling and to present you blameless in the presence of His glory, with exultation—

25 to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time and now and to all the ages. Amen.
