| [1]JudeG2455, the servantG1401 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547, andG1161 brotherG80 of JamesG2385, to them that are sanctifiedG37[G5772] byG1722 GodG2316 the FatherG3962, andG2532 preservedG5083[G5772] in JesusG2424 ChristG5547, and calledG2822: |
[1]JUDE, a servant of Jesus the Messiah, and the brother of James, to the called people, the beloved of God the Father, the preserved by Jesus the Messiah : |
| [2]MercyG1656 unto youG5213, andG2532 peaceG1515, andG2532 loveG26, be multipliedG4129.[G5684] |
[2]Mercy and peace in love, be multiplied to you. |
| [3]BelovedG27, when I gaveG4160[G5734] allG3956 diligenceG4710 to writeG1125[G5721] unto youG5213 ofG4012 the commonG2839 salvationG4991, it wasG2192 needfulG318 for meG2192[G5627] to writeG1125[G5658] unto youG5213, and exhortG3870[G5723] you that ye should earnestly contendG1864[G5738] for the faithG4102 which was onceG530 deliveredG3860[G5685] unto the saintsG40. |
[3]My beloved, while I take all pains to write to you of our common life, it is needful for me to write to you, exhorting you to maintain a conflict for the faith which was once delivered to the saints. |
| [4]ForG1063 there are certainG5100 menG444 crept in unawaresG3921[G5656], whoG3588 were beforeG4270 of oldG3819 ordainedG4270[G5772] toG1519 thisG5124 condemnationG2917, ungodly menG765, turningG3346[G5723] the graceG5485 of ourG2257 GodG2316 intoG1519 lasciviousnessG766, andG2532 denyingG720[G5740] the onlyG3441 LordG1203 GodG2316, andG2532 ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547. |
[4]For some have obtained entrance, who from the beginning were registered beforehand under this condemnation: wicked men, who pervert the grace of God to impurity, and deny him who is the only Lord God and our Lord, Jesus the Messiah. |
| [5]I willG1014[G5736] thereforeG1161 putG5279 youG5209 in remembranceG5279[G5658], though yeG5209 onceG530 knewG1492[G5761] thisG5124, how thatG3754 the LordG2962, having savedG4982[G5660] the peopleG2992 out ofG1537 the landG1093 of EgyptG125, afterwardG1208 destroyedG622[G5656] them that believedG4100[G5660] notG3361. |
[5]And I wish to remind you, though ye all know it, that God, after once rescuing the people from Egypt, again destroyed them who believed not. |
| [6]AndG5037 the angelsG32 which keptG5083[G5660] notG3361 theirG1438 first estateG746, butG235 leftG620[G5631] their ownG2398 habitationG3613, he hath reservedG5083[G5758] in everlastingG126 chainsG1199 underG5259 darknessG2217 untoG1519 the judgmentG2920 of the greatG3173 dayG2250. |
[6]And the angels that kept not their primacy, but left their station, he hath reserved in chains unknown, under darkness, unto the judgment of the great day. |
| [7]Even asG5613 SodomG4670 andG2532 GomorrhaG1116, andG2532 the citiesG4172 aboutG4012 themG846 in likeG3664[G5125] mannerG5158, giving themselves over to fornicationG1608[G5660], andG2532 goingG565[G5631] afterG3694 strangeG2087 fleshG4561, are set forth forG4295[G5736] an exampleG1164, sufferingG5254[G5723] the vengeanceG1349 of eternalG166 fireG4442. |
[7]As Sodom and Gomorrah, and the surrounding cities, which in like manner followed whoredom and went after strange flesh, are placed beneath everlasting fire, being, doomed to judgment. |
| [8]LikewiseG3668[G3305] alsoG2532 theseG3778 filthy dreamersG1797[G5740] defileG3392[G5719] the fleshG3303[G4561],[G1161] despiseG114[G5719] dominionG2963, andG1161 speak evilG987[G5719] of dignitiesG1391. |
[8]In the same manner, too, these sensual dreamers defile the flesh and despise authority, and revile excellency. |
| [9]YetG1161 MichaelG3413 the archangelG743, whenG3753 contendingG1252[G5734] with the devilG1228 he disputedG1256[G5711] aboutG4012 the bodyG4983 of MosesG3475, durstG5111[G5656] notG3756 bring against himG2018[G5629] a railingG988 accusationG2920, butG235 saidG2036[G5627], The LordG2962 rebukeG2008[G5659] theeG4671. |
[9]But Michael the archangel, who, in debate with the Accuser, contended about the body of Moses, did not venture to bring against him a reviling declaration; but said, The Lord will rebuke thee. |
| [10]ButG1161 theseG3778 speak evilG987[G5719] of those things whichG3745[G3303] they knowG1492[G5758] notG3756: butG1161 whatG3745 they knowG1987[G5736] naturallyG5447, asG5613 bruteG249 beastsG2226, inG1722 those thingsG5125 they corrupt themselvesG5351.[G5743] |
[10]But these [men] revile things which they do not understand; and in the things of which they have a natural persuasion as animal beings, in these they corrupt themselves. |
| [11]WoeG3759 unto themG846! forG3754 they have goneG4198[G5675] in the wayG3598 of CainG2535, andG2532 ran greedily afterG1632[G5681] the errorG4106 of BalaamG903 for rewardG3408, andG2532 perishedG622[G5639] in the gainsayingG485 of CoreG2879. |
[11]Woe to them; for they have gone in the way of Cain; and, after the error of Balaam, they have lusted for gain; and, in the rebellion of Korah, they have perished. |
| [12]TheseG3778 areG1526[G5748] spotsG4694 inG1722 yourG5216 feasts of charityG26, when they feastG4910[G5740] with youG5213, feedingG4165[G5723] themselvesG1438 without fearG870: cloudsG3507 they are without waterG504, carried aboutG4064[G5746] ofG5259 windsG417; treesG1186 whose fruit witherethG5352, without fruitG175, twiceG1364 deadG599[G5631], G1610plucked up by the rootsG5685 |
[12]These are they who, in their feastings, riot while polluting themselves, feeding themselves without fear; clouds without rain, moved about by the winds; trees whose fruit hath failed, and they are without fruit, twice dead, and uplifted from their root; |
| [13]RagingG66 wavesG2949 of the seaG2281, foaming outG1890[G5723] their ownG1438 shameG152; wanderingG4107 starsG792, to whomG3739 is reservedG5083[G5769] the blacknessG2217 of darknessG4655 forG1519 everG165. |
[13]raging waves of the sea, which, by their foam, manifest their confusion; shootingstars, for which is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever. |
| [14]AndG1161 EnochG1802 alsoG2532, the seventhG1442 fromG575 AdamG76, prophesiedG4395[G5656] of theseG5125, sayingG3004[G5723], BeholdG2400[G5628], the LordG2962 comethG2064[G5627] withG1722 ten thousandsG3461 of hisG846 saintsG40, |
[14]And of them also prophesied Enoch, who was the seventh from Adam, when he said: Behold, the Lord cometh, with myriads of his saints; |
| [15]To executeG4160[G5658] judgmentG2920 uponG2596 allG3956, andG2532 to convinceG1827[G5658] allG3956 that are ungodlyG765 among themG846 ofG4012 allG3956 theirG846 ungodlyG763 deedsG2041 whichG3739 they have ungodly committedG764[G5656], andG2532 ofG4012 allG3956 their hardG4642 speeches whichG3739 ungodlyG765 sinnersG268 have spokenG2980[G5656] againstG2596 himG846. |
[15]to execute judgment upon all; and to convict all the wicked, because of all the deeds they have wickedly committed; and because of all the hard speeches, which they, ungodly sinners, have uttered. |
| [16]TheseG3778 areG1526[G5748] murmurersG1113, complainersG3202, walkingG4198[G5740] afterG2596 their ownG846 lustsG1939; andG2532 theirG846 mouthG4750 speakethG2980[G5719] great swellingG5246 words, having men's personsG4383 in admirationG2296[G5723] becauseG5484 of advantageG5622. |
[16]These are they who murmur and complain of every thing, while they walk according to their lusts; and their mouth speaketh shocking things; and they flatter people, for the sake of gain. |
| [17]ButG1161, belovedG27, rememberG3415[G5682] yeG5210 the wordsG4487 whichG3588 were spoken beforeG4280[G5772] ofG5259 the apostlesG652 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547; |
[17]But do ye, my beloved, remember the words which were before spoken by the legates of our Lord Jesus the Messiah; |
| [18]HowG3754 thatG3754 they toldG3004[G5707] youG5213 there should beG2071[G5704] mockersG1703 inG1722 the lastG2078 timeG5550, who should walkG4198[G5740] afterG2596 their ownG1438 ungodlyG763 lustsG1939. |
[18]because they told you, that in the end of the times there would be scoffers, going after wickedness, according to their lusts. |
| [19]TheseG3778 beG1526[G5748] they who separateG592[G5723] themselvesG1438, sensualG5591, havingG2192[G5723] notG3361 the SpiritG4151. |
[19]These are they that separate [themselves], sensual persons, not having the Spirit. |
| [20]ButG1161 yeG5210, belovedG27, building upG2026[G5723] yourselvesG1438 on yourG5216 most holyG40 faithG4102, prayingG4336[G5740] inG1722 the HolyG40 GhostG4151, |
[20]But, my beloved, be ye built up anew, in your holy faith, through the Holy Spirit, while ye pray. |
| [21]KeepG5083[G5657] yourselvesG1438 inG1722 the loveG26 of GodG2316, looking forG4327[G5740] the mercyG1656 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 untoG1519 eternalG166 lifeG2222. |
[21]And let us keep ourselves in the love of God, while we wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus the Messiah unto our eternal life. |
| [22]AndG2532[G3303] of someG3739 have compassionG1653[G5720], making a differenceG1252:[G5734] |
[22]And some of them, snatch ye from the fire. |
| [23]AndG1161 othersG3739 saveG4982[G5720] withG1722 fearG5401, pullingG726[G5723] them out ofG1537 the fireG4442; hatingG3404[G5723] evenG2532 the garmentG5509 spottedG4695[G5772] byG575 the fleshG4561. |
[23]And when they repent, have compassion on them, with fear, hating even the tunic that is defiled by the flesh. |
| [24]NowG1161 unto him that is ableG1410[G5740] to keepG5442[G5658] youG5209[G5625][G846] from fallingG679, andG2532 to presentG2476[G5658] you faultlessG299 before the presenceG2714 of hisG846 gloryG1391 withG1722 exceeding joyG20, |
[24]And to him who is able to preserve you faultless, and spotless, and to establish you without a blemish, |
| [25]To the onlyG3441 wiseG4680 GodG2316 ourG2257 SaviourG4990, be gloryG1391 andG2532 majestyG3172, dominionG2904 andG2532 powerG1849, bothG2532 nowG3568 andG2532 everG1519[G3956][G165]. AmenG281. |
[25]before his majesty, with joy, [namely,] the only God, our Deliverer, by means of Jesus the Messiah our Lord, be praise, and dominion, and honor, and majesty, both now and in all ages. Amen.
