Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James: to them that are beloved in God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called.

Mercy unto you, and peace, and charity be fulfilled.

Dearly beloved, taking all care to write unto you concerning your common salvation, I was under a necessity to write unto you: to beseech you to contend earnestly for the faith once delivered to the saints.

For certain men are secretly entered in, (who were written of long ago unto this judgment, ) ungodly men, turning the grace of our Lord God into riotousness, and denying the only sovereign Ruler, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

I will therefore admonish you, though ye once knew all things, that Jesus, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, did afterwards destroy them that believed not:
6 ye ca svargadUtAH svIyakartRtvapade na sthitvA svavAsasthAnaM parityaktavantastAn sa mahAdinasya vicArArtham andhakAramaye 'dhaHsthAne sadAsthAyibhi rbandhanairabadhnAt| (aïdios g126)
And the angels who kept not their principality, but forsook their own habitation, he hath reserved under darkness in everlasting chains, unto the judgment of the great day. (aïdios g126)

As Sodom and Gomorrha, and the neighbouring cities, in like manner, having given themselves to fornication, and going after other flesh, were made an example, suffering the punishment of eternal fire. (aiōnios g166)
8 tathaiveme svapnAcAriNo'pi svazarIrANi kalaGkayanti rAjAdhInatAM na svIkurvvantyuccapadasthAn nindanti ca|
In like manner these men also defile the flesh, and despise dominion, and blaspheme majesty.

When Michael the archangel, disputing with the devil, contended about the body of Moses, he durst not bring against him the judgment of railing speech, but said: The Lord command thee.
10 kintvime yanna budhyante tannindanti yacca nirbbodhapazava ivendriyairavagacchanti tena nazyanti|
But these men blaspheme whatever things they know not: and what things soever they naturally know, like dumb beasts, in these they are corrupted.
11 tAn dhik, te kAbilo mArge caranti pAritoSikasyAzAto biliyamo bhrAntimanudhAvanti korahasya durmmukhatvena vinazyanti ca|
Woe unto them, for they have gone in the way of Cain: and after the error of Balaam they have for reward poured out themselves, and have perished in the contradiction of Core.

These are spots in their banquets, feasting together without fear, feeding themselves, clouds without water, which are carried about by winds, trees of the autumn, unfruitful, twice dead, plucked up by the roots,

Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own confusion; wandering stars, to whom the storm of darkness is reserved for ever. (aiōn g165)

Now of these Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying: Behold, the Lord cometh with thousands of his saints,

To execute judgment upon all, and to reprove all the ungodly for all the works of their ungodliness, whereby they have done ungodly, and of all the hard things which ungodly sinners have spoken against God.
16 te vAkkalahakAriNaH svabhAgyanindakAH svecchAcAriNo darpavAdimukhaviziSTA lAbhArthaM manuSyastAvakAzca santi|
These are murmurers, full of complaints, walking according to their own desires, and their mouth speaketh proud things, admiring persons for gain’s sake.
17 kintu he priyatamAH, asmAkaM prabho ryIzukhrISTasya preritai ryad vAkyaM pUrvvaM yuSmabhyaM kathitaM tat smarata,
But you, my dearly beloved, be mindful of the words which have been spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ,
18 phalataH zeSasamaye svecchAto 'dharmmAcAriNo nindakA upasthAsyantIti|
Who told you, that in the last time there should come mockers, walking according to their own desires in ungodlinesses.
19 ete lokAH svAn pRthak kurvvantaH sAMsArikA AtmahInAzca santi|
These are they, who separate themselves, sensual men, having not the Spirit.
20 kintu he priyatamAH, yUyaM sveSAm atipavitravizvAse nicIyamAnAH pavitreNAtmanA prArthanAM kurvvanta
But you, my beloved, building yourselves upon your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,
21 Izvarasya premnA svAn rakSata, anantajIvanAya cAsmAkaM prabho ryIzukhrISTasya kRpAM pratIkSadhvaM| (aiōnios g166)
Keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, unto life everlasting. (aiōnios g166)
22 aparaM yUyaM vivicya kAMzcid anukampadhvaM
And some indeed reprove, being judged:
23 kAMzcid agnita uddhRtya bhayaM pradarzya rakSata, zArIrikabhAvena kalaGkitaM vastramapi RtIyadhvaM|
But others save, pulling them out of the fire. And on others have mercy, in fear, hating also the spotted garment which is carnal.
24 aparaJca yuSmAn skhalanAd rakSitum ullAsena svIyatejasaH sAkSAt nirddoSAn sthApayituJca samartho
Now to him who is able to preserve you without sin, and to present you spotless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, in the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ,
25 yo 'smAkam advitIyastrANakarttA sarvvajJa Izvarastasya gauravaM mahimA parAkramaH kartRtvaJcedAnIm anantakAlaM yAvad bhUyAt| Amen| (aiōn g165)
To the only God our Saviour through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory and magnificence, empire and power, before all ages, and now, and for all ages of ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
