Greeting
1Judah, a slave of Yeshua the Messiah and brother of Jacob, To those who are called, who are loved in God the Father, and kept safe for Yeshua the Messiah:
2May mercy and shalom and love be multiplied to you!
Contend for the Faith with the Ungodly
3Loved ones, though very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I felt it necessary to write to you urging you to continue to contend for the faith that was once for all handed down to the kedoshim.
4For certain people have secretly slipped in—those who from long ago have been marked out for this judgment. They are ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into indecency and deny our only Master and Lord, Yeshua the Messiah.
5Now I wish to remind you—though you have come to know all things —that the Lord, once having saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe.
6And the angels—who did not keep their own position of authority but deserted their proper place—He has kept in everlasting shackles under gloomy darkness until the judgment of the great Day.
7In the same way as these angels, Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them—having given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after a different sort of flesh—are displayed as an example, suffering the punishment of eternal fire.
8Yet in the same way these people also, by their visionary dreaming, defile the flesh, reject the Lord’s authority, and defame glorious beings.
9But when Michael the archangel, disputing with the devil, was arguing about the body of Moses, he did not dare to render a judgment against him for slander, but said, “May the Lord rebuke you!”
10But these people slander whatever they do not understand. And whatever they do understand instinctively—like animals without reason—by these things they are destroyed.
11Woe to them! For they went the way of Cain; they were consumed for pay in Balaam’s error; and in Korah’s rebellion they have been destroyed.
12These people are hidden rocky reefs at your love feasts—shamelessly feasting with you, tending only to themselves. They are waterless clouds, carried along by winds; fruitless trees in late autumn, doubly dead, uprooted;
13wild waves of the sea, foaming up their own shame; wandering stars, for whom the gloom of utter darkness has been reserved forever.
14It was also about these people that Enoch, the seventh generation from Adam, prophesied, saying, “Behold, the Lord came with myriads of His kedoshim,
15to execute judgment against all. He will convict all the ungodly for all their ungodly deeds that they have done in an ungodly way, and for all of the harsh things ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.”
16These are bellyaching grumblers, following after their own desires. Their mouth speaks grandiose things, showing favoritism for the sake of gain.
17But you, loved ones, ought to remember the words previously proclaimed by the emissaries of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah—
18how they kept telling you, “In the last time there will be scoffers, following after their own ungodly desires.”
19These are the ones who cause divisions—worldly-minded, not having the Ruach
20But you, loved ones, continue building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Ruach ha-Kodesh.
21Keep yourselves in the love of God, eagerly waiting for the mercy of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah that leads to eternal life.
22And have mercy on those who are wavering—
23save them by snatching them out of the fire; but on others have mercy with fear—hating even the garment defiled by the flesh.
Hymn to God Our Savior
24Now to the One who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to present you blameless before the presence of His glory with great joy,
25to the only God our Savior, through Yeshua the Messiah our Lord, be glory, majesty, power, and authority, before all time, both now and forever. Amen.

Jude 1
1¶ Jude, slave of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to those that are called, sanctified in God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ:
2Mercy and peace and charity be multiplied unto you.
3¶ Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you and exhort you that ye should earnestly persevere in the faith which was given once unto the saints.
4For there are certain men crept in unawares without fear or reverence of God, who from beforehand have been ordained unto this condemnation, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness and denying God who alone has dominion, and our Lord Jesus, the Christ.
5I will, therefore, remind you, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those that did not believe.
6And the angels who did not keep their first estate but left their own habitation, he has reserved in eternal chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.
7Even as Sodom and Gomorrha and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication and going after strange flesh, were set forth for an example, having received the judgment of eternal fire.
8¶ In the same manner these deceived dreamers, defile their flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of higher powers.
9Yet when Michael, the archangel, contended with the devil, disputing over the body of Moses, he dared not bring against him a curse of judgment, but said, The Lord reprehend thee.
10But these speak evil of those things which they do not know; but what they know by nature as animals without reason, in those things they corrupt themselves.
11Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward and perished in the gainsaying of Core.
12These are spots in your banquets of charity, feeding themselves without any fear whatsoever: clouds without water, carried to and fro of the winds; trees withered as in fall, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
13raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own abominations; erratic stars, to whom is reserved gross darkness eternally.
14And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of his saints
15¶ to execute judgment upon all and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have unfaithfully committed and of all the hard words which the unfaithful sinners have spoken against him.
16These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own desires; and their mouth speaks arrogant things, admiring persons to take advantage.
17But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken beforehand by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ,
18how that they told you, That in the last time there would be mockers, who would walk after their own ungodly desires.
19These are those who make divisions, and are as animals, not having the Spirit.
20But ye, beloved, building up yourselves upon your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit,
21keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, unto eternal life,
22And receive some with mercy, discerning;
23And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire, hating even the garment defiled by the flesh.
24Now unto him that is powerful to keep you without sin and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,
25to the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, now and in all the ages. Amen.
