1 Jude, a slave of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, To the ones (who are) called, having been loved(=having been sanctified)1 in(=by) God (the) Father, and having been kept for Jesus Christ.
2 May mercy, [and] peace, and love be multiplied(# optative) to you.
3 Beloved, making all eagerness(=being very eager) to write (to) you about our common salvation, I had necessity(=I found it necessary) to write (to) you exhorting (you) to contend for the faith having been once delivered to the saints.
4 For certain men, the ones long ago having been written(=designated) for this condemnation, ungodly (men), have secretly crept in (among you), changing the grace of our God into licentiousness and denying the only Master and our Lord, Jesus Christ.
5 I want to remind you, you knowing(=though you knew)2 all things, that (the) Lord, once having saved (the) people out of (the) land of Egypt, the second(=afterwards) destroyed the ones not having believed,
6 and (the) angels not having kept their domain(=position) but having left the(=their) own habitation, He has kept (in) perpetual bonds(=chains) under darkness for (the) judgment of (the) great day.
7 as Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them, (in) the similar manner (with) these, having given themselves up to sexual immorality and having gone after strange flesh, are set for an example, undergoing a punishment of eternal fire.
8 Likewise also these dreaming ones defile (the) flesh, reject lordship(=authority), and blaspheme(=speak evil of) glories(=the glorious ones).
9 And [the] Michael the archangel, when he, contending (with) the devil, was disputing about the body of Moses, did not dare to bring judgment(=accusation) of blasphemy, but said, “(The) Lord might rebuke(=rebuke)3 you.”
10 But these (men) blaspheme(=speak evil of) whatever they do not know; and whatever they understand naturally(=by instinct) like the animals without reason, in(=by) these they are destroyed.
11 Woe to them! For they went (in) the way of Cain, and ran greedily (into) Balaam’s error (for) a reward, and perished (in the) rebellion of Korah.
12 These are blemishes at your love feasts, feasting together without fear, feeding themselves; (they are) clouds without water, being carried away by winds; (they are) autumn trees without fruit, having twice died, having been uprooted;
13 (they are) wild waves of (the) sea, foaming up the shames of themselves(=their own shame); (they are) wandering stars, for whom the gloom of [the] darkness has been reserved unto age(=for ever).
14 And Enoch, (the) seventh from Adam, prophesied (about) these also, saying, “Behold, (the) Lord came in(=with) ten thousand of His saints,”
15 “to do judgment on all, and to convict every soul about(=of) all their ungodly works(=acts) which they have committed in an ungodly way, and about(=of) all the hard things(=harsh words) which the ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.”
16 These are grumblers, complainers, walking according to their lusts; and their mouth speaks bombasts, admiring faces(=flattering people) for the sake of(=for their own) advantage.
17 But you, beloved, remember the words having been previously spoken by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ,
18 that they were saying to you, “At(=In) (the) last time there will be scoffers walking according to their own ungodly lusts.”
19 These are the ones dividing (you), natural(=sensual), not having (the) Spirit.
20 But you, beloved, building up yourselves (in) your most holy faith, praying in (the) Holy Spirit,
21 keep yourselves in (the) love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life.
22 And have mercy on (some) who wavering(=doubting);
23 Save some, (by) snatching (them) out of fire; and have mercy on some with fear, hating even the garment having been stained from(=by) the flesh.
24 And to the one being able to guard you from stumbling and to present (you) without blemish before the presence of His glory in exceeding joy,
25 to (the) only God our Savoir (be) glory, majesty, power, and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all the age and now and unto all the ages(=for ever). Amen.
