Jude, the servantof JesusChrist, andbrotherof James, to them that are sanctifiedbyGodthe Father, andpreservedin JesusChrist, and called. Mercyunto you, andpeace, andlove, be multiplied. Beloved, when I gavealldiligenceto writeunto youofthecommonsalvation, it was needfulfor me to writeunto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend forthefaithwhich was oncedeliveredunto thesaints. Forthere are certainmencrept in unawares, who were before of old ordainedtothiscondemnation, ungodly men, turningthegraceof ourGodintolasciviousness, anddenyingtheonlyLordGod, andourLordJesusChrist. Iwilltherefore put you in remembrance, though yeonceknewthis, how thattheLord, having savedthe peopleout ofthe landof Egypt, afterwarddestroyedthem that believednot. Andthe angelswhich keptnottheirfirst estate, butlefttheir ownhabitation, he hath reservedin everlastingchainsunderdarknessuntothe judgmentof the greatday. Even asSodomandGomorrah, andthecitiesaboutthemin like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, andgoingafterstrangeflesh, are set forthfor an example, sufferingthe vengeanceof eternalfire. Likewisealsothese filthy dreamersdefilethe flesh, despisedominion, andspeak evil ofdignities. YetMichaelthearchangel, whencontendingwith thedevilhe disputedaboutthebodyof Moses, durstnotbring againsthim a railingaccusation, butsaid, The Lordrebukethee. Butthesespeak evil ofthose thingswhich theyknownot: butwhatthey knownaturally, asbrutebeasts, inthose thingsthey corrupt themselves. Woeunto them! forthey have gonein thewayof Cain, andran greedily aftertheerrorof Balaamfor reward, andperishedin thegainsayingof Korah. Thesearespotsinyourfeasts of charity, when they feast withyou, feedingthemselveswithout fear: clouds they are without water, carried aboutofwinds; treeswhose fruit withereth, without fruit, twicedead, plucked up by the roots; Ragingwavesof the sea, foaming outtheir ownshame; wanderingstars, to whomis reservedtheblacknessof darknessforever. AndEnochalso, the seventhfromAdam, prophesiedof these, saying, Behold, the Lordcomethwithten thousandsof hissaints, To executejudgmentuponall, andto convinceallthat are ungodlyamong themofalltheirungodlydeedswhichthey have ungodly committed, andofalltheir hard speeches whichungodlysinnershave spokenagainsthim. Thesearemurmurers, complainers, walkingaftertheir ownlusts; andtheirmouthspeakethgreat swelling words, having men's persons in admirationbecause ofadvantage. But, beloved, rememberyethewordswhich were spoken beforeoftheapostlesof ourLordJesusChrist; How thatthey toldyouthere shouldbemockersinthe lasttime, who should walkaftertheir ownungodlylusts. Thesebethey who separatethemselves, sensual, havingnotthe Spirit. Butye, beloved, building upyourselveson yourmost holyfaith, prayinginthe HolyGhost, Keepyourselvesinthe loveof God, looking forthemercyof ourLordJesusChristuntoeternallife. Andof somehave compassion, making a difference: Andotherssavewithfear, pulling them out ofthefire; hatingeventhegarmentspottedbytheflesh. Nowunto him that is ableto keepyoufrom falling, andto present you faultlessbefore the presenceof hisglorywithexceeding joy, To the onlywiseGodourSavior, be gloryandmajesty, dominionandpower, bothnowandever. Amen.
