Jude 1–7

^aJude, ^bthe servant of Jesus Christ, and ^cbrother of ^dJames, ^eto them that are sanctified by God the Father, and ^fpreserved in Jesus Christ, and ^gcalled: ^2hmercy unto you, and ⁱpeace, and love, be multiplied.

³Beloved, when I gave all ^kdiligence to write unto you of the ^lcommon ^msalvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ⁿye should earnestly contend for ^othe faith which was once delivered unto the saints. ⁴For ^pthere are certain men ^ppcrept in unawares, ^qwho were ^rbefore of old ordained to this ^scondemnation, ungodly men, ^tturning ^uthe grace of our God into ^vlasciviousness, and ^wdenying the only ^pLord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁵I will therefore ^xput you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that ^ythe Lord, having saved ^pthe people out of the land of Egypt, afterward ^zdestroyed ^athem that believed not. ⁶And ^bthe angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, ^bhe hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto ^cthe judgment of ^dthe great day. ⁷Even as ^eSodom and Gomorrha, and ^fthe cities about them, in like manner giving themselves over to fornication, and going ^gafter strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering ^hthe vengeance of ⁱeternal fire.
