For certain persons have (A)crept in unnoticed, those who were long beforehand [a](B)marked out for this condemnation, ungodly persons who turn (C)the grace of our God into (D)licentiousness and (E)deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.

And (I)angels who did not keep their own domain, but abandoned their proper abode, He has (J)kept in eternal bonds under darkness for the judgment of the great day, just as (K)Sodom and Gomorrah and the (L)cities around them, since they in the same way as these indulged in gross immorality and (M)went after [d]strange flesh, are exhibited as an [e](N)example in undergoing the (O)punishment of eternal fire.
