Jude 3–11

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. ⁸Likewise also these filthy dreamers ^gdefile the flesh, ^gkdespise dominion, and ^gspeak evil of dignities. ⁹Yet ^lMichael ^mthe archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed ⁿabout the body of Moses, ^odurst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, ^pThe Lord rebuke thee. ¹⁰But ^qthese speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, ^qas brute beasts, ^rin those things ^qthey corrupt themselves. ¹¹Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of ^sCain, and ^tran greedily after the error of ^uBalaam for reward, and ^vperished in the ^wgainsaying of Core.
