Jude 7-9
Contemporary English Version
7 (A) We should also be warned by what happened to the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah[a] and the nearby towns. Their people became immoral and committed all sorts of sexual sins. Then God made an example of them and punished them with eternal fire.
8 The people I am talking about are behaving just like those dreamers who destroyed their own bodies. They reject all authority and insult angels. 9 (B) Even Michael, the chief angel, didn't dare to insult the devil, when the two of them were arguing about the body of Moses.[b] All Michael said was, “The Lord will punish you!”

Jude 7-9
New International Version
7 In a similar way, Sodom and Gomorrah(A) and the surrounding towns(B) gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion. They serve as an example of those who suffer the punishment of eternal fire.(C)
8 In the very same way, on the strength of their dreams these ungodly people pollute their own bodies, reject authority and heap abuse on celestial beings.(D) 9 But even the archangel(E) Michael,(F) when he was disputing with the devil about the body of Moses,(G) did not himself dare to condemn him for slander but said, “The Lord rebuke you!”[a](H)

Jude 7-9
King James Version
7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
8 Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.
9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.
