4 For 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. 5 I 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. 6 And 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. 7 Even 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. 8 Likewise also these filthy dreamers gdefile the flesh, gkdespise dominion, and gspeak evil of dignities. 9 Yet 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. 10 But qthese speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, qas brute beasts, rin those things qthey corrupt themselves. 11 Woe 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.

12 These are spots in your feasts of charity xwhen they feast with you, yfeeding themselves without fear: zclouds they are without water, acarried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, bwithout fruit, twice dead, cplucked up by the roots; 13 draging waves of the sea, dfoaming out their own eshame; wandering stars, fto whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.
