Jude 6-8

Expanded Bible

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]. ⁷ Also remember the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah [^Cdestroyed by God for their evil; Gen. 19; 2 Pet. 2:6] and the other towns around them. In the same way they were full of sexual sin and people who ·desired sexual relations that God does not allow [pursued sexual perversion; ^Ldeparted after different flesh]. They suffer the punishment of eternal fire, as an ·example [warning] for all to see.

⁸ It is the same with these people [^Cthe false teachers; v. 4]. They are guided by dreams ·and make themselves filthy with sin [and live immoral lives/pollute their bodies; or to defile the flesh]. They ·reject [despise] ·God’s authority [^Lauthority] and ·speak against [insult; slander; blaspheme] ·the angels [celestial beings; ^Lglorious ones; 2 Pet. 2:10–11].
