Jude 3-8

New American Standard Bible

^3 (A)Beloved, while I was making every effort to write you about our ^(B)common salvation, I felt the necessity to write to you appealing that you ^(C)contend earnestly for ^(D)the faith that was once for all time ^(E)handed down to ^(F)the ^[a]saints. ⁴ For certain people have ^(G)crept in unnoticed, those who were long beforehand ^[b](H)marked out for this condemnation, ungodly persons who turn ^(I)the grace of our God into ^(J)indecent behavior and ^(K)deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.

⁵ Now I want to ^(L)remind you, though ^(M)you know everything once and for all, that ^[c]the Lord, ^(N)after saving a people out of the land of Egypt, ^[d]subsequently destroyed those who did not believe. ⁶ And ^(O)angels who did not keep their own domain but abandoned their proper dwelling place, these He has ^(P)kept in eternal restraints under darkness for the judgment of the great day, ⁷ just as ^(Q)Sodom and Gomorrah and the ^(R)cities around them, since they in the same way as these angels indulged in sexual perversion and ^(S)went after ^[e]strange flesh, are exhibited as an ^[f](T)example in undergoing the ^(U)punishment of eternal fire.

⁸ Yet in the same way these people also, dreaming, ^(V)defile the flesh, reject authority, and speak abusively of angelic ^[g]majesties.
