Jude 1
1 Jude of Jesus Christ servant, brother then of James, To those in God [the] Father (loved *N(K)O*) and in Jesus Christ kept called;
To those who, having received the call, have been loved by God the Father and protected by Jesus Christ, From Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ, and the brother of James.
2 Mercy to you and peace and love would be multiplied.
May mercy, peace, and love be yours in ever increasing measure.
3 Beloved, all diligence using to write to you concerning shared (of us *NO*) salvation, necessity I had to write to you exhorting [you] to contend earnestly for the once for all having been delivered to the saints faith.
Dear friends, while I was making every effort to write to you about our common salvation, I felt that I must write to you at once to encourage you to fight in defence of the faith that has once for all been entrusted to the keeping of Christ’s people.
4 Came in stealthily for certain men, those long ago designated unto this condemnation, ungodly [ones], the of the God of us grace changing into sensuality and the only master (God *K*) and Lord of us Jesus Christ denying.
For there have crept in among you certain godless people, whose sentence has long since been pronounced, and who make the mercy of God an excuse for profligacy, and disown our only lord and master, Jesus Christ.
5 To remind now you I want, knowing you (everything, *N(K)O*) that (*NK*) (Lord *NK(O)*) once a people out of [the] land of Egypt having saved afterward those not having believed He destroyed.
Now I want to remind you – but you already know it all – that, though the Lord delivered the people from Egypt, yet he afterwards destroyed those who refused to believe in him;
6 [The] angels both not having kept their own domain but having left [their] own dwelling, unto [the] judgment of [the] great day in chains eternal under darkness He has kept; (aïdios g126)
and that even those angels, who did not keep to their appointed spheres, but left their proper homes, have been kept by him for the judgment of the great day in everlasting chains and black darkness. (aïdios g126)
7 just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the around them cities in like manner with them having indulged in sexual immorality and having gone after flesh strange, are set forth as an example of fire eternal [the] penalty undergoing. (aiōnios g166)
Like Sodom and Gomorrah and the towns near them, which gave themselves up to fornication, and fell into unnatural vice, these angels now stand out as a warning, undergoing, as they are, punishment in eternal fire. (aiōnios g166)
8 Likewise yet also these dreaming [ones] [the] flesh indeed defile, authority however they set aside, glorious [ones] however they blaspheme.
Yet in the same way these people, too, cherishing vain dreams, pollute our human nature, reject control, and malign the celestial beings.
9 But Michael the archangel, when with the devil disputing he was reasoning about Moses’ body, not did dare a judgment to bring against [him] blasphemy but said; Would [that] he rebuke you [the] Lord.
Yet even Michael, the archangel, when, in his dispute with the devil, he was arguing about the body of Moses, did not venture to charge him with maligning, but said merely “The Lord rebuke you!”
10 These however as much as indeed not they understood they denigrate; as much as however naturally as the irrational animals they understand, in these things they corrupt themselves.
But these people malign whatever they do not understand; while they use such things as they know by instinct (like the animals that have no reason) for their own corruption.
11 Woe to them, because in the way of Cain they went and to the error of Balaam for reward they rushed and in the rebellion of Korah they perished.
Alas for them! They walk in the steps of Cain; led astray by Balaam’s love of gain, they plunge into sin, and meet their ruin through rebellion like Korah.
12 These are (the ones *no*) in the love feasts of you hidden reefs, feasting together [with you] fearlessly themselves shepherding; clouds without water, by winds (being carried away, *N(k)O*) trees autumnal without fruit, twice having died, having been uprooted;
These are the people who are blots on your “love-feasts,” when they feast together and provide without scruple for themselves alone. They are clouds without rain, driven before the winds; they are leafless trees without a vestige of fruit, dead through and through, torn up by the roots;
13 waves wild of [the] sea foaming out their own shame, stars wandering to whom the gloom of darkness to (the *k*) age has been reserved. (aiōn g165)
they are wild sea waves, foaming with their own shame; they are “wandering stars,” for which the blackest darkness has been reserved for ever. (aiōn g165)
14 He prophesied then also to these [the] seventh from Adam Enoch saying: Behold has come [the] Lord amidst holy [ones] myriads of His
To these people, as to others, Enoch, the seventh in descent from Adam, declared – “See! The Lord has come with his hosts of holy ones around him,
15 to carry out judgment against all and (to convict *N(K)O*) (every *N(k)O*) (*ko*) (soul *N(K)O*) (of them *K*) concerning all the works of ungodliness of them in which they have been ungodly, and concerning all the harsh [things] that spoke against Him sinners ungodly.
to execute judgment on all people, and to convict all godless people of all their godless acts, which in their ungodliness they have committed, and of all the harsh words which they have spoken against him, godless sinners that they are!”
16 These are grumblers discontented, after the lusts (of themselves *N(k)O*) following, and the mouth of them speaks great swelling [words], flattering faces of profit because.
These people are always murmuring, and complaining of their lot; they follow where their passions lead them; they have arrogant words on their lips; and they flatter others for the sake of what they can get from them.
17 You yourselves however beloved, do remember the declarations which spoken beforehand by the apostles of the Lord of us Jesus Christ,
But you should, dear friends, recall what was foretold by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;
18 for they were saying to you that (on [this] last *N(k)O*) (*n*) (time *N(k)O*) there will be scoffers after their own passions following of ungodlinesses.
how they used to say to you – “As time draws to an end, there will be scoffers, who will be led by their godless passions.”
19 These are those causing divisions, worldly-minded, [the] Spirit not having.
These are the people – animal and unspiritual – who cause divisions.
20 you yourselves however, beloved, building up yourselves in the most holy of you faith in [the] Spirit Holy praying,
But you must, dear friends, build up your characters on the foundation of your most holy faith, pray under the guidance of the Holy Spirit,
21 yourselves in [the] love of God do keep, awaiting the mercy of the Lord of us Jesus Christ unto life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
and keep within the love of God, while waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, to bring you to eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
22 And those who indeed (do have mercy on *NK(O)*) (are doubting, *N(k)O*)
To some show pity, because they are in doubt. “Drag them out of the fire,” and save them.
23 others however do save from (the *k*) fire snatching, (to others then do show mercy *NO*) with fear, hating even the by the flesh stained clothing.
To others show pity, but with caution, hating the clothing polluted by their touch.
24 To Him now being able to keep (you *NK(O)*) from stumbling and to present [you] in the presence of the glory of Him blameless with exultation —
To him who is able to guard you from falling, and to bring you into his glorious presence, blameless and rejoicing –
25 to [the] only (wise *K*) God Savior of us, (through Jesus Christ the Lord of us, *NO*) [be] glory (and *k*) majesty dominion and authority (before all the age *NO*) and now and to all the ages, Amen. (aiōn g165)
to the one God, our Saviour, be ascribed, through Jesus Christ, our Lord, glory, majesty, power, and dominion, as it was before time began, is now, and will be for all time to come. Amen. (aiōn g165)
