Salutación
1 Judas,(A) siervo de Jesucristo, y hermano de Jacobo, a los llamados, santificados en Dios Padre, y guardados en Jesucristo: 2 Misericordia y paz y amor os sean multiplicados.
Falsas doctrinas y falsos maestros
(2 P. 2.1-17)
3 Amados, por la gran solicitud que tenía de escribiros acerca de nuestra común salvación, me ha sido necesario escribiros exhortándoos que contendáis ardientemente por la fe que ha sido una vez dada a los santos. 4 Porque algunos hombres han entrado encubiertamente, los que desde antes habían sido destinados para esta condenación, hombres impíos, que convierten en libertinaje la gracia de nuestro Dios, y niegan a Dios el único soberano, y a nuestro Señor Jesucristo.
5 Mas quiero recordaros, ya que una vez lo habéis sabido, que el Señor, habiendo salvado al pueblo sacándolo de Egipto,(B) después destruyó a los que no creyeron.(C) 6 Y a los ángeles que no guardaron su dignidad, sino que abandonaron su propia morada, los ha guardado bajo oscuridad, en prisiones eternas, para el juicio del gran día; 7 como Sodoma y Gomorra y las ciudades vecinas, las cuales de la misma manera que aquellos, habiendo fornicado e ido en pos de vicios contra naturaleza, fueron puestas por ejemplo, sufriendo el castigo del fuego eterno.(D)
8 No obstante, de la misma manera también estos soñadores mancillan la carne, rechazan la autoridad y blasfeman de las potestades superiores. 9 Pero cuando el arcángel Miguel(E) contendía con el diablo, disputando con él por el cuerpo de Moisés,(F) no se atrevió a proferir juicio de maldición contra él, sino que dijo: El Señor te reprenda.(G) 10 Pero estos blasfeman de cuantas cosas no conocen; y en las que por naturaleza conocen, se corrompen como animales irracionales. 11 ¡Ay de ellos! porque han seguido el camino de Caín,(H) y se lanzaron por lucro en el error de Balaam,(I) y perecieron en la contradicción de Coré.(J) 12 Estos son manchas en vuestros ágapes, que comiendo impúdicamente con vosotros se apacientan a sí mismos; nubes sin agua, llevadas de acá para allá por los vientos; árboles otoñales, sin fruto, dos veces muertos y desarraigados; 13 fieras ondas del mar, que espuman su propia vergüenza; estrellas errantes, para las cuales está reservada eternamente la oscuridad de las tinieblas.
14 De estos también profetizó Enoc,(K) séptimo desde Adán, diciendo: He aquí, vino el Señor con sus santas decenas de millares, 15 para hacer juicio contra todos, y dejar convictos a todos los impíos de todas sus obras impías que han hecho impíamente, y de todas las cosas duras que los pecadores impíos han hablado contra él. 16 Estos son murmuradores, querellosos, que andan según sus propios deseos, cuya boca habla cosas infladas, adulando a las personas para sacar provecho.
Amonestaciones y exhortaciones
17 Pero vosotros, amados, tened memoria de las palabras que antes fueron dichas por los apóstoles de nuestro Señor Jesucristo; 18 los que os decían: En el postrer tiempo habrá burladores, que andarán según sus malvados deseos.(L) 19 Estos son los que causan divisiones; los sensuales, que no tienen al Espíritu. 20 Pero vosotros, amados, edificándoos sobre vuestra santísima fe, orando en el Espíritu Santo, 21 conservaos en el amor de Dios, esperando la misericordia de nuestro Señor Jesucristo para vida eterna. 22 A algunos que dudan, convencedlos. 23 A otros salvad, arrebatándolos del fuego; y de otros tened misericordia con temor, aborreciendo aun la ropa contaminada por su carne.
Doxología
24 Y a aquel que es poderoso para guardaros sin caída, y presentaros sin mancha delante de su gloria con gran alegría, 25 al único y sabio Dios, nuestro Salvador, sea gloria y majestad, imperio y potencia, ahora y por todos los siglos. Amén.
Jude
Contemporary English Version
Jude
Contemporary English Version
1 (A) From Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ and the brother of James.
To all who are chosen and loved by God the Father and are kept safe by Jesus Christ.
2 I pray that God will greatly bless you with mercy, peace, and love!
False Teachers
3 My dear friends, I really wanted to write you about God's saving power at work in our lives. But instead, I must write and ask you to defend the faith that God has once for all given to his people. 4 Some godless people have sneaked in among us and are saying, “God treats us much better than we deserve, and so it is all right to be immoral.” They even deny we must obey Jesus Christ as our only Master and Lord. But long ago the Scriptures warned that these godless people were doomed.
5 (B) Don't forget what happened to those people the Lord rescued from Egypt. Some of them did not have faith, and he later destroyed them. 6 You also know about the angels[a] who didn't do their work and left their proper places. God chained them with everlasting chains and is now keeping them in dark pits until the great day of judgment. 7 (C) We should also be warned by what happened to the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah[b] and the nearby towns. Their people became immoral and committed all sorts of sexual sins. Then God made an example of them and punished them with eternal fire.
8 The people I am talking about are behaving just like those dreamers who destroyed their own bodies. They reject all authority and insult angels. 9 (D) Even Michael, the chief angel, didn't dare to insult the devil, when the two of them were arguing about the body of Moses.[c] All Michael said was, “The Lord will punish you!”
10 But these people insult powers they don't know anything about. They are like senseless animals that end up getting destroyed, because they live only by their feelings. 11 (E) Now they are in for real trouble. They have followed Cain's example[d] and have made the same mistake that Balaam[e] did by caring only for money. They have also rebelled against God, just as Korah did.[f] Because of all this, they will be destroyed.
12 These people are filthy minded, and by their shameful and selfish actions they spoil the meals you eat together. They are like clouds blown along by the wind, but never bringing any rain. They are like leafless trees, uprooted and dead, and unable to produce fruit. 13 Their shameful deeds show up like foam on wild ocean waves. They are like wandering stars forever doomed to the darkest pits of hell.
14 (F) Enoch was the seventh person after Adam, and he was talking about these people when he said:
Look! The Lord is coming with thousands and thousands of holy angels 15 to judge everyone. He will punish all those ungodly people for all the evil things they have done. The Lord will surely punish those ungodly sinners for every evil thing they have ever said about him.
16 These people grumble and complain and live by their own selfish desires. They brag about themselves and flatter others to get what they want.
More Warnings
17 My dear friends, remember the warning you were given by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ. 18 (G) They told you that near the end of time, selfish and godless people would start making fun of God. 19 And now these people are already making you turn against each other. They think only about this life, and they don't have God's Spirit.
20 Dear friends, keep building on the foundation of your most holy faith, as the Holy Spirit helps you to pray. 21 And keep in step with God's love, as you wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to show how kind he is by giving you eternal life. 22 Be helpful to[g] all who may have doubts. 23 Rescue any who need to be saved, as you would rescue someone from a fire. Then with fear in your own hearts, have mercy on everyone who needs it. But hate even the clothes of those who have been made dirty by their filthy deeds.
Final Prayer
24-25 Offer praise to God our Savior because of our Lord Jesus Christ! Only God can keep you from falling and make you pure and joyful in his glorious presence. Before time began and now and forever, God is worthy of glory, honor, power, and authority. Amen.
