The Warnings of History to the Ungodly

Jude 2455, a bond-servant 1401 of Jesus 2424 Christ 5547, and brother 80 of James 2385,
2 ¶ May mercy 1656 and peace 1515 and love 26 be multiplied 4129 to you.
3 ¶ Beloved 27, while I was making 4160 every 3956 effort 4710 to write 1125 you about 4012 our common 2839 salvation 4991, I felt 2192 the necessity 318 to write 1125 to you appealing 3870 that you contend 1864 earnestly 1864 for the faith 4102 which was once 530 for all 530 handed 3860 down 3860 to the saints 40.
4 For certain 5100 persons 444 have crept 3921 in unnoticed 3921, those 3588 who were long 3819 beforehand 4270 marked 4270 out for this 3778 condemnation 2917, ungodly 765 persons 765 who turn 3346 the grace 5485 of our God 2316 into licentiousness 766 and deny 720 our only 3441 Master 1203 and Lord 2962, Jesus 2424 Christ 5547.
5 ¶ Now 1161 I desire 1014 to remind 5279 you, though you know 3609 all 3956 things 3956 once 530 for all 530, that the Lord 2962, after saving 4982 a people 2992 out of the land 1093 of Egypt 125, subsequently 1208 destroyed 622 those 3588 who did not believe 4100.
6 And angels 32 who did not keep 5083 their own 1438 domain 746, but abandoned 620 their proper 2398 abode 3613, He has kept 5083 in eternal 126 bonds 1199 under 5259 darkness 2217 for the judgment 2920 of the great 3173 day 2250,
7 just 5613 as Sodom 4670 and Gomorrah 1116 and the cities 4172 around 4012 them, since they in the same 3664 way 5158 as these 3778 indulged 1608 in gross 1608 immorality 1608 and went 565 after 3694 strange 2087 flesh 4561, are exhibited 4295 as an example 1164 in undergoing 5254 the punishment 1349 of eternal 166 fire 4442.
8 ¶ Yet 3305 in the same 3668 way 3668 these 3778 men 3778, also 2532 by dreaming 1797, defile 3392 the flesh 4561, and reject 114 authority 2963, and revile 987 angelic majesties 1391.
9 But Michael 3413 the archangel 743, when 3753 he disputed 1252 with the devil 1228 and argued 1256 about 4012 the body 4983 of Moses 3475, did not dare 5111 pronounce 2018 against 2018 him a railing 988 judgment 2920, but said 3004, "The Lord 2962 rebuke 2008 you!"
10 But these 3778 men 3778 revile 987 the things which 3745 they do not understand 3609; and the things which 3745 they know 1987 by instinct 5447, like 5613 unreasoning 249 animals 2226, by these 3778 things 3778 they are destroyed 5351.
11 Woe 3759 to them! For they have gone 4198 the way 3598 of Cain 2535, and for pay 3408 they have rushed 1632 headlong 1632 into the error 4106 of Balaam 903, and perished 622 in the rebellion 485 of Korah 2879.
12 These 3778 are the men 3778 who are hidden 4694 reefs 4694 in your love 26 feasts 26 when they feast 4910 with you without 870 fear 870, caring 4165 for themselves 1438; clouds 3507 without 504 water 504, carried 3911 along 3911 by winds 417; autumn 5352 trees 1186 without 175 fruit 175, doubly 1364 dead 599, uprooted 1610;
13 wild 66 waves 2949 of the sea 2281, casting 1890 up their own 1438 shame 152 like 1890 foam 1890; wandering 4107 stars 792, for whom 3739 the black 2217 darkness 4655 has been reserved 5083 forever 165.
14 ¶ {It was} also 2532 about these 3778 men {that} Enoch 1802, {in} the seventh 1442 {generation} from Adam 76, prophesied 4395, saying 3004, "Behold 2400, the Lord 2962 came 2064 with many 3461 thousands 3461 of His holy 40 ones 40,
15 to execute 4160 judgment 2920 upon all 3956, and to convict 1651 all 3956 the ungodly 765 of all 3956 their ungodly 763 deeds 2041 which 3739 they have done 764 in an ungodly 764 way 764, and of all 3956 the harsh 4642 things 4642 which 3739 ungodly 763 sinners 268 have spoken 2980 against 2596 Him."
16 These 3778 are grumblers 1113, finding 3202 fault 3202, following 4198 after 2596 their {own} lusts 1939; they speak 2980 arrogantly 5246, flattering 2296 people 4383 for the sake 5484 of {gaining an} advantage 5622.

Keep Yourselves in the Love of God

¶ But you, beloved 27, ought to remember 3403 the words 4487 that were spoken 4275 beforehand 4275 by the apostles 652 of our Lord 2962 Jesus 2424 Christ 5547,
18 that they were saying 3004 to you, "In the last 2078 time 5550 there will be mockers 1703, following 4198 after 2596 their own 1438 ungodly 763 lusts 1939."
19 These 3778 are the ones who cause 592 divisions 592, worldly-minded 5591, devoid of the Spirit 4151.
20 But you, beloved 27, building 2026 yourselves 1438 up on your most 40 holy 40 faith 4102, praying 4336 in the Holy 40 Spirit 4151,
21 keep 5083 yourselves 1438 in the love 26 of God 2316, waiting 4327 anxiously 4327 for the mercy 1656 of our Lord 2962 Jesus 2424 Christ 5547 to eternal 166 life 2222.
22 And have 1653 mercy 1653 on some, who are doubting 1252;
23 save 4982 others, snatching 726 them out of the fire 4442; and on some 3739 have 1653 mercy 1653 with fear 5401, hating 3404 even 2532 the garment 5509 polluted 4695 by the flesh 4561.
24 ¶ Now 1161 to Him who is able 1410 to keep 5442 you from stumbling 679, and to make 2476 you stand 2476 in the presence 2714 of His glory 1391 blameless 299 with great 20 joy 20,
25 to the only 3441 God 2316 our Savior 4990, through 1223 Jesus 2424 Christ 5547 our Lord 2962, {be} glory 1391, majesty 3172, dominion 2904 and authority 1849, before 4253 all 3956 time 165 and now 3568 and forever 165. Amen 281.
