Jude’s Purpose in Writing
3 Dear friends, although I was eager to write you about the salvation we share,(B) I found it necessary to write and exhort you to contend for the faith(C) that was delivered(D) to the saints once for all. 4 For some men, who were designated for this judgment long ago,(E) have come in by stealth;(F) they are ungodly,(G) turning the grace of our God into promiscuity and denying(H) Jesus Christ, our only Master and Lord.

The Sin and Doom of Ungodly People
3 Dear friends,(C) although I was very eager to write to you about the salvation we share,(D) I felt compelled to write and urge you to contend(E) for the faith(F) that was once for all entrusted to God’s holy people.(G) 4 For certain individuals whose condemnation was written about[a] long ago have secretly slipped in among you.(H) They are ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord.(I)
