¹¹ Woe to them! For they have gone ^(A)the way of Cain, and for pay ^[a]they have given themselves up to ^(B)the error of Balaam, and ^(C)perished in the rebellion of Korah. ¹² These are the ones who are ^[b]hidden reefs ^(D)in your love feasts when they feast with you ^(E)without fear, like shepherds caring only for themselves; ^(F)clouds without water, ^(G)carried along by winds; autumn trees without fruit, ^[c]doubly dead, ^(H)uprooted; ^13 (I)wild waves of the sea, churning up ^(J)their own shameful deeds like dirty foam; wandering stars, ^(K)for whom the ^[d]gloom of darkness has been reserved forever.

⁸ Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those with leprosy, cast out demons. Freely you received, freely give.

¹¹ “^(A)I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd ^(B)lays down His life for the sheep. ¹² He who is a hired hand, and not a ^(C)shepherd, who is not the owner of the sheep, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf snatches them and scatters the flock. ¹³ He flees because he is a hired hand and does not care about the sheep.
