Judgment on False Teachers

Beloved, although I was very eager to write to you about our (A)common salvation, I found it necessary to write appealing to you (B)to contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints. For (C)certain people (D)have crept in unnoticed (E)who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly people, who pervert (F)the grace of our God into sensuality and (G)deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.

Now I want (H)to remind you, although you once fully knew it, that (I)Jesus, who saved[a] a people out of the land of Egypt, (J)afterward destroyed those who did not believe. And (K)the angels who did not stay within their own position of authority, but left their proper dwelling, he has kept in eternal chains under gloomy darkness until the judgment of the great day— just as (L)Sodom and Gomorrah and (M)the surrounding cities, which likewise indulged in sexual immorality and (N)pursued unnatural desire,[b] serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire.
