Jude 2-4
New Century Version
2 Mercy, peace, and love be yours richly.
God Will Punish Sinners
3 Dear friends, I wanted very much to write you about the salvation we all share. But I felt the need to write you about something else: I want to encourage you to fight hard for the faith that was given the holy people of God once and for all time. 4 Some people have secretly entered your group. Long ago the prophets wrote about these people who will be judged guilty. They are against God and have changed the grace of our God into a reason for sexual sin. They also refuse to accept Jesus Christ, our only Master and Lord.

The Sin and Doom of Ungodly People
3 Dear friends,(C) although I was very eager to write to you about the salvation we share,(D) I felt compelled to write and urge you to contend(E) for the faith(F) that was once for all entrusted to God’s holy people.(G) 4 For certain individuals whose condemnation was written about[a] long ago have secretly slipped in among you.(H) They are ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord.(I)
