Jude 10-12

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁰ But these false teachers speak bad things against anything that they do not understand. They are like animals that cannot think properly. They just do the things that their nature causes them to do. Those are the things that are destroying them.

¹¹ It will be terrible for them! They have lived in the way that Cain lived.^[a] They have made the same mistake that Balaam made, because they wanted to get money for themselves.^[b] Like Korah, they have refused to obey God.^[c] So God will destroy them.

The false teachers are very dangerous

¹² When you eat special meals together as believers, those false teachers meet with you. But they are dangerous! They will stop you showing your love for one another. They come only because they want to eat too much. They do not respect God or other people. They only think about themselves and they are not ashamed. They are like clouds that you think will bring rain. But the wind blows those clouds along and there is no rain. They are like trees that have no fruit, even at the time for harvest. People pull trees like that out of the ground. They are completely dead and can give no fruit.
