犹大书
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
问安
1 耶稣基督的仆人，雅各的兄弟犹大，写信给那些被召的人，就是在父 神里蒙爱，并且为了耶稣基督而蒙保守的人。 2 愿怜悯、平安、慈爱多多加给你们。
要竭力维护信仰
3 亲爱的，尽管我曾经迫切地想写信给你们，论到我们共享的救恩；现在我更觉得必须写信劝勉你们，要竭力维护从前一次就全交给了圣徒的信仰， 4 因为有人已经混进你们中间，他们就是早被判定受刑的不敬虔的人。这些人把我们 神的恩典当作放纵情欲的借口，并且否认独一的主宰我们的主耶稣基督。
列举史实作鉴戒
5 虽然这一切事情你们都早已知道，我仍然要提醒你们：从前主从埃及地把人民救出来，跟着就把那些不信的人除灭了。 6 还有，那不守本位擅离自己居所的天使，主就用永远的锁炼把他们拘留在黑暗里，直到那大日子的审判。 7 又像所多玛、蛾摩拉和周围城市的人，与他们一样的淫乱，随从逆性的情欲，以致遭受永火的刑罚，成了后世的鉴戒。
8 虽然是这样，这些醉生梦死的人还是照样玷污身体，藐视主权，毁谤尊荣。 9 就是天使长米迦勒为了摩西的尸体与魔鬼争论的时候，尚且不敢用毁谤的话定他的罪，只说：“主责备你！” 10 但这些人毁谤他们所不知道的，他们只知道按本性所能领悟的事，好象没有理性的禽兽，就在这些事上败坏了自己。 11 他们有祸了，因为他们走上了该隐的道路，又为了财利闯进巴兰的歧途，并且在可拉的背叛中灭亡了。 12 这些人胆敢与你们同席，他们只顾喂饱（“喂饱”或译：“牧养”）自己，是你们爱筵中的暗礁；是无雨的浮云，随风飘荡；是秋天不结果子的树，连根拔起，死而又死； 13 是海中的狂浪，溅起了自己可耻的泡沫；是流荡的星，有漆黑的幽暗永远为他们存留。
14 亚当的第七世孙以诺，也曾经预言这些人说：“看，主必同他的千万圣者降临， 15 要审判众人，又要定所有不敬虔的人的罪，因为他们妄行各样不敬虔的事，并且说了种种刚愎的话顶撞 神。” 16 这些人常发牢骚，怨天尤人，顺着自己的私欲行事，口说夸张的话，为了利益就不惜阿谀奉承。
要在至圣的信仰上建立自己
17 但你们呢，亲爱的，你们要记住我们主耶稣基督的使徒从前所说的话。 18 他们曾经对你们说：“末世必有好讥笑人的人，随着自己不敬虔的私欲行事。” 19 这些人分党结派，是属血气的，没有圣灵。 20 但你们呢，亲爱的，你们要在至圣的信仰上建立自己，在圣灵里祷告， 21 要保守自己在 神的爱中，仰望我们主耶稣基督的怜悯，直到永生。 22 有些人心里疑惑，你们要怜悯他们； 23 有些人你们要拯救，把他们从火中抢救出来；又有些人你们要战战兢兢地怜悯他们，连染上情欲污渍的衣服也应当憎恶。
颂赞的祷告
24-25 愿荣耀、威严、能力、权柄，借着我们的主耶稣基督，从万世以前，及现在，直到永永远远，归给独一的 神我们的救主。他能保守你们不至跌倒，使你们毫无瑕疵、欢然站在他荣光之前。阿们。
Jude
1599 Geneva Bible
The General Epistle of Jude
1 3 He warneth the godly to take heed of such men, 4 that make the grace of God a cloak for their wantonness: 5 and that they shall not escape unpunished, for the contempt of that grace, 6, 7 he proveth by three examples: 14 and allegeth the prophecy of Enoch: 20 Finally he showeth the godly a means to overthrow all the snares of those deceivers.
1 Jude a servant of Jesus Christ, and [a]brother of James, to them which are called and sanctified [b]of God the Father, and [c]reserved to Jesus Christ:
2 Mercy unto you, and peace and love be multiplied.
3 [d]Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the [e]common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, to exhort you, that ye should earnestly [f]contend for the maintenance of the faith, which was [g]once given unto the Saints.
4 [h]For there are certain men crept in, which were before of old ordained to this condemnation: [i]ungodly men they are, which turn the grace of our God into wantonness, and (A)deny God the only Lord, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
5 [j]I will therefore put you in remembrance, forasmuch as ye once knew this, how that the Lord, after that he had delivered the people out of Egypt, (B)destroyed them afterward which believed not.
6 [k]The (C)Angels also which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.
7 As (D)Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them, which in like manner as they did, [l]committed fornication, and followed [m]strange flesh, are set forth for an example, and suffer the vengeance of eternal fire.
8 Likewise notwithstanding these [n]sleepers also defile the flesh, [o]and despise [p]government, and speak evil of them that are in authority.
9 [q]Yet Michael the Archangel, when he strove against the devil, and disputed about the body of Moses, durst not blame him with cursed speaking, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.
10 [r]But these speak evil of those things, which they know not: and whatsoever things they know naturally as beasts, which are without reason, in those things they corrupt themselves.
11 [s]Woe be unto them: for they have followed the way (E)of Cain, and are cast away by the deceit (F)of Balaam’s wages, and perish in the gainsaying (G)of Korah.
12 [t]These are rocks in your [u]feasts of charity, when they feast with you, without [v]all fear, feeding themselves: (H)clouds they are without water, carried about of winds, corrupt trees and without fruit, twice dead, and plucked up by the roots.
13 They are the raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shames: they are wandering stars, to whom is reserved the [w]blackness of darkness forever.
14 And Enoch also the seventh from Adam, prophesied of such, saying, (I)Behold, the Lord [x]cometh with thousands of his Saints,
15 To give judgment against all men, and to rebuke all the ungodly among them of all their wicked deeds, which they have ungodly committed, and of all their cruel speakings, which wicked sinners have spoken against him.
16 These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts: (J)whose mouths speak proud things, having men’s persons in admiration, because of advantage.
17 [y]But, ye beloved, remember the words which were spoken before of the Apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ:
18 How that they told you that there should be mockers (K)in the last time, which should walk after their own ungodly lusts.
19 [z]These are they that separate themselves from others, natural, having not the Spirit.
20 But, ye beloved, edify yourselves in your most holy faith, praying in the holy Ghost.
21 And keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, unto eternal life.
22 [aa]And have compassion of some, in putting difference:
23 And others save with [ab]fear, pulling them out of the fire, and hate even that [ac]garment which is spotted by the flesh.
24 [ad]Now unto him that is able to keep you that ye fall not, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with joy,
25 That is, to God only wise, our Savior be glory, and majesty, and dominion, and power, both now and forever, Amen.

Jude
New King James Version
Greeting to the Called
1 Jude, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, and (A)brother of James,
To those who are (B)called, [a]sanctified by God the Father, and (C)preserved in Jesus Christ:
2 Mercy, (D)peace, and love be multiplied to you.
Contend for the Faith
3 Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you (E)concerning our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you exhorting (F)you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints. 4 For certain men have crept in unnoticed, who long ago were marked out for this condemnation, ungodly men, who turn the grace of our God into lewdness and deny the only Lord [b]God and our Lord Jesus Christ.
Old and New Apostates
5 But I want to remind you, though you once knew this, that (G)the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe. 6 And the angels who did not keep their [c]proper domain, but left their own abode, He has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day; 7 as (H)Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them in a similar manner to these, having given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the [d]vengeance of eternal fire.
8 (I)Likewise also these dreamers defile the flesh, reject authority, and (J)speak evil of [e]dignitaries. 9 Yet Michael the archangel, in [f]contending with the devil, when he disputed about the body of Moses, dared not bring against him a reviling accusation, but said, (K)“The Lord rebuke you!” 10 (L)But these speak evil of whatever they do not know; and whatever they know naturally, like brute beasts, in these things they corrupt themselves. 11 Woe to them! For they have gone in the way (M)of Cain, (N)have run greedily in the error of Balaam for profit, and perished (O)in the rebellion of Korah.
Apostates Depraved and Doomed
12 These are [g]spots in your love feasts, while they feast with you without fear, serving only themselves. They are clouds without water, carried [h]about by the winds; late autumn trees without fruit, twice dead, pulled up by the roots; 13 (P)raging waves of the sea, (Q)foaming up their own shame; wandering stars (R)for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever.
14 Now Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men also, saying, “Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of His saints, 15 to execute judgment on all, to convict all who are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have committed in an ungodly way, and of all the (S)harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.”
Apostates Predicted
16 These are grumblers, complainers, walking according to their own lusts; and they (T)mouth great swelling words, (U)flattering people to gain advantage. 17 (V)But you, beloved, remember the words which were spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ: 18 how they told you that (W)there would be mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own ungodly lusts. 19 These are [i]sensual persons, who cause divisions, not having the Spirit.
Maintain Your Life with God
20 But you, beloved, (X)building yourselves up on your most holy faith, (Y)praying in the Holy Spirit, 21 keep yourselves in the love of God, (Z)looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
22 And on some have compassion, [j]making a distinction; 23 but (AA)others save [k]with fear, (AB)pulling them out of the [l]fire, hating even (AC)the garment defiled by the flesh.
Glory to God
24 (AD)Now to Him who is able to keep [m]you from stumbling,
And (AE)to present you faultless
Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy,
25 To [n]God our Savior,
[o]Who alone is wise,
Be glory and majesty,
Dominion and [p]power,
Both now and forever.
Amen.
