Jude 1:1-25

NLT | Greek NT | Matchup | Interlinear | Reverse-Interlinear

1:1 This letter is from Jude , a slave of Jesus Christ and a brother of James . I am writing to all who have been called by God the Father , who loves you and keeps you safe in the care of Jesus Christ . * 2 May God give you more and more mercy , peace , and love . 3 Dear friends , I had been eagerly planning to write to you about the salvation we all share . But now I find that I must write about something else , urging you to defend the faith that God has entrusted once for all time to his holy people . 4 I say this because some ungodly people have wormed their way into your churches , saying that God’s marvelous grace allows us to live immoral lives . The condemnation of such people was recorded long ago , for they have denied our only Master and Lord , Jesus Christ . 5 So I want to remind you , though you already know these things , that Jesus * first rescued the nation of Israel from Egypt , but later he destroyed those who did not remain faithful . 6 And I remind you of the angels who did not stay within the limits of authority God gave them but left the place where they belonged . God has kept them securely chained in prisons of darkness , waiting for the great day of judgment . 7 And don’t forget Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighboring towns , which were filled with immorality and every kind of sexual perversion . Those cities were destroyed by fire and serve as a warning of the eternal fire of God’s judgment . 8 In the same way , these people — who claim authority from their dreams — live immoral lives , defy authority , and scoff at supernatural beings . * 9 But even Michael , one of the mightiest of the angels , * did not dare accuse the devil of blasphemy , but simply said , “ The Lord rebuke you ! ” ( This took place when Michael was arguing with the devil about Moses' body . ) 10 But these people scoff at things they do not understand . Like unthinking animals , they do whatever their instincts tell them , and so they bring about their own destruction . 11 What sorrow awaits them ! For they follow in the footsteps of Cain , who killed his brother . Like Balaam , they deceive people for money . And like Korah , they perish in their rebellion . 12 When these people eat with you in your fellowship meals commemorating the Lord’s love , they are like dangerous reefs that can shipwreck you . * They are like shameless shepherds who care only for themselves . They are like clouds blowing over the land without giving any rain . They are like trees in autumn that are doubly dead , for they bear no fruit and have been pulled up by the roots . 13 They are like wild waves of the sea , churning up the foam of their shameful deeds . They are like wandering stars , doomed forever to blackest darkness . 14 Enoch , who lived in the seventh generation after Adam , prophesied about these people . He said , “ Listen ! The Lord is coming with countless thousands of his holy ones 15 to execute judgment on the people of the world . He will convict every person of all the ungodly things they have done and for all the insults that ungodly sinners have spoken against him . ” * 16 These people are grumblers and complainers , living only to satisfy their desires . They brag loudly about themselves , and they flatter others to get what they want . 17 But you , my dear friends , must remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ said . 18 They told you that in the last times there would be scoffers whose purpose in life is to satisfy their ungodly desires . 19 These people are the ones who are creating divisions among you . They follow their natural instincts because they do not have God’s Spirit in them . 20 But you , dear friends , must build each other up in your most holy faith , pray in the power of the Holy Spirit , * 21 and await the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ , who will bring you eternal life . In this way , you will keep yourselves safe in God’s love . 22 And you must show mercy to * those whose faith is wavering . 23 Rescue others by snatching them from the flames of judgment . Show mercy to still others , * but do so with great caution , hating the sins that contaminate their lives . * 24 Now all glory to God , who is able to keep you from falling away and will bring you with great joy into his glorious presence without a single fault . 25 All glory to him who alone is God , our Savior through Jesus Christ our Lord . All glory , majesty , power , and authority are his before all time , and in the present , and beyond all time ! Amen .
