Jude 4-6

Expanded Bible

⁴ [^LFor] Some people have ·secretly entered [sneaked in; infiltrated; wormed their way into] your group [2 Pet. 2:1]. Long ago ·the prophets wrote about these people who will be judged guilty [their condemnation was written about/predetermined]. They are ·against God [ungodly] and have ·changed [perverted; distorted] the grace of our God [^Cwith its freedom from legalistic rules] into ·a reason for sexual sin [^Ldebauchery; licentiousness; immorality]. They also ·refuse to accept [deny; have turned against] our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.

⁵ I want to remind you of some things you already know ·well [fully]: Remember that the Lord^[a] ·saved [rescued; delivered] his people by bringing them out of the land of Egypt. But later he destroyed all those who ·did not believe [were unfaithful]. ⁶ And remember the angels who did not keep their ·place of power [position of authority; ^Lown domain/rule] but left their proper ·home [dwelling place]. The Lord has kept these angels in ·darkness [gloom; ^Cthe nether world or underworld; the place of the dead], bound with everlasting chains, to be judged on the great day [^Cthe final day of judgment; 2 Pet. 2:4].
