Jude 7-9
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
7 Just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them in like manner to these[a]— having indulged-in-sexual-immorality and gone after other flesh— are set-forth as an example, undergoing the penalty[b] of eternal fire.
Yet These People Defile The Flesh And Reject God’s Authority. Woe To Them
8 Yet in the same way also these dreaming ones are defiling the flesh and rejecting authority[c] and blaspheming[d] glories[e]! 9 Now Michael the archangel[f], when he was speaking concerning the body of Moses while disputing with the devil, did not dare to bring[g] a judgment of blasphemy, but said, “May the Lord rebuke 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)
