Jude 4-6
1599 Geneva Bible
4 [a]For there are certain men crept in, which were before of old ordained to this condemnation: [b]ungodly men they are, which turn the grace of our God into wantonness, and (A)deny God the only Lord, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
5 [c]I will therefore put you in remembrance, forasmuch as ye once knew this, how that the Lord, after that he had delivered the people out of Egypt, (B)destroyed them afterward which believed not.
6 [d]The (C)Angels also which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.

- Jude 1:5 He setteth forth the horrible punishment of them which have abuseth the grace of God to follow their own lusts.
- Jude 1:6 The fall of the Angels was most sincerely punished, how much more then will the Lord punish wicked and faithless men?
