Jude 3-5

Good News Translation

False Teachers

³ My dear friends, I was doing my best to write to you about the salvation we share in common, when I felt the need of writing at once to encourage you to fight on for the faith which once and for all God has given to his people. ⁴ For some godless people have slipped in unnoticed among us, persons who distort the message about the grace of our God in order to excuse their immoral ways, and who reject Jesus Christ, our only Master and Lord. Long ago the Scriptures predicted the condemnation they have received.

^5 (A)For even though you know all this, I want to remind you of how the Lord^[a] once rescued the people of Israel from Egypt, but afterward destroyed those who did not believe.
