Jude 3-5
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
Beloved, Fight For The Faith Against Those Seeking To Change Grace Into License
3 Beloved, while making every effort to be writing to you concerning our common salvation, I had the necessity to write to you exhorting you to be contending[a] for the faith having been delivered once-for-all to the saints. 4 For certain persons sneaked-in[b]— the ones formerly[c] having been portrayed[d] for this judgment, ungodly ones— changing[e] the grace of our God into sensuality and denying our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.
Remember: The Lord Punished The Unbelieving And The Immoral
5 Now I want to remind you— you knowing[f] all things— that the Lord[g], having once[h] saved[i] the people out of the land of Egypt, afterwards destroyed the ones not having believed.
