The Epistle of Jude
Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ, and brother
of James
- Jude, a
servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James
(Acts 1:13), to those who are called, sanctified by God the Father, and
preserved in Jesus Christ: (Luke 6:16)
- Mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to
you.
(1 Pet. 1:2)
- Beloved, while I was very diligent to
write
to you
concerning our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you
exhorting
you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered
to the saints. (Eph. 4:5;
Titus 1:4)
- For certain men have crept in unnoticed,
who
long
ago were marked out for this condemnation, ungodly men, who turn the
grace
of our God into licentiousness and deny the only Lord God and our Lord
Jesus Christ.
- But I want to remind you, though you once
knew this, that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of
Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe. (1 Cor.
10:5-10)
- And the angels who did not keep their
proper
domain, but left their own habitation, He has reserved in everlasting
chains under darkness for the judgement of the great day;
- as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities
around
them in a similar manner to these, having given themselves over to
sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an
example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

- These are spots in your love feasts,
while
they feast with you without fear, serving only themselves; they are
clouds without
water, carried about by the winds; late autumn trees without fruit,
twice dead, pulled up by the roots; (Prov. 25:14)
-
-
- "to execute judgement on all, to convict
all who are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they
have committed in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which
ungodly sinners have spoken against Him." (1 Sam. 2:3; Ps. 139:20)

Now to Him who is able to
keep you from stumbling, and to present
you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy,
-
To God our Saviour,
Who
alone is wise,
be glory and majesty, (Ps. 45:3)
dominion
and power,
both now and forever, Amen.
