Condemnation of the Ungodly False Teachers

5 Now I want to remind you, although you know everything once and for all,d that Jesus,e having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, the second time destroyed those who did not believe. 6 And the angels who did not keep to their own domain but deserted their proper dwelling place, he has kept in eternal bonds under deep gloom for the judgment of the great day, 7 as Sodom and Gomorrah and the towns around them indulged in sexual immorality and ⌊pursued unnatural desire⌋f in the same way as these, are exhibited as an example by* undergoing the punishment of eternal fire.

8 Despite that, in the same way also these men, because of their* dreams, defile the flesh and reject authority and blaspheme majestic beings. 9 But Michael the archangel, when he argued with the devil, disputing concerning the body of Moses, did not dare to pronounce a blasphemous judgment, but said, “The Lord rebuke you!” 10 But these persons blaspheme all that they do not understand, and all that they understand by instinct like the irrational animals, by these things they are being destroyed. 11 Woe to them! For they have traveled in the way of Cain, and have given themselves up to the error of Balaam for gain, and have perishedg in the rebellion of Korah.
