Jude 4-11

English Standard Version

⁴For ^(A)certain people ^(B)have crept in unnoticed ^(C)who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly people, who pervert ^(D)the grace of our God into sensuality and ^(E)deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.

⁵Now I want ^(F)to remind you, although you once fully knew it, that ^(G)Jesus, who saved^[a] a people out of the land of Egypt, ^(H)afterward destroyed those who did not believe. ⁶And ^(I)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— ⁷just as ^(J)Sodom and Gomorrah and ^(K)the surrounding cities, which likewise indulged in sexual immorality and ^(L)pursued unnatural desire,^[b] serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire.

⁸Yet in like manner these people also, relying on their dreams, defile the flesh, reject authority, and ^(M)blaspheme the glorious ones. ⁹But when ^(N)the archangel ^(O)Michael, contending with the devil, was disputing ^(P)about the body of Moses, he did not presume to pronounce a blasphemous judgment, but said, ^(Q)“The Lord rebuke you.” ¹⁰^(R)But these people blaspheme all that they do not understand, and they are destroyed by all that they, like unreasoning animals, understand instinctively. ¹¹Woe to them! For they walked in ^(S)the way of Cain and abandoned themselves for the sake of gain ^(T)to Balaam's error and ^(U)perished in Korah's rebellion.
