Jude
English Standard Version
Greeting
1 Jude, a servant[a] of Jesus Christ and brother of James,
(A)To those who are called, (B)beloved in God the Father and (C)kept for[b] Jesus Christ:
2 May (D)mercy, (E)peace, and love be multiplied to you.
Judgment on False Teachers
3 Beloved, although I was very eager to write to you about our (F)common salvation, I found it necessary to write appealing to you (G)to contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints. 4 For (H)certain people (I)have crept in unnoticed (J)who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly people, who pervert (K)the grace of our God into sensuality and (L)deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.
5 Now I want (M)to remind you, although you once fully knew it, that (N)Jesus, who saved[c] a people out of the land of Egypt, (O)afterward destroyed those who did not believe. 6 And (P)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— 7 just as (Q)Sodom and Gomorrah and (R)the surrounding cities, which likewise indulged in sexual immorality and (S)pursued unnatural desire,[d] serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire.
8 Yet in like manner these people also, relying on their dreams, defile the flesh, reject authority, and (T)blaspheme the glorious ones. 9 But when (U)the archangel (V)Michael, contending with the devil, was disputing (W)about the body of Moses, he did not presume to pronounce a blasphemous judgment, but said, (X)“The Lord rebuke you.” 10 (Y)But these people blaspheme all that they do not understand, and they are destroyed by all that they, like unreasoning animals, understand instinctively. 11 Woe to them! For they walked in (Z)the way of Cain and abandoned themselves for the sake of gain (AA)to Balaam's error and (AB)perished in Korah's rebellion. 12 These are hidden reefs[e] (AC)at your love feasts, as they feast with you without fear, (AD)shepherds feeding themselves; (AE)waterless clouds, (AF)swept along by winds; fruitless trees in late autumn, twice dead, (AG)uprooted; 13 (AH)wild waves of the sea, casting up the foam of (AI)their own shame; (AJ)wandering stars, (AK)for whom the gloom of utter darkness has been reserved forever.
14 It was also about these that Enoch, (AL)the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying, (AM)“Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of his holy ones, 15 (AN)to execute judgment on all and to convict all the ungodly of all their deeds of ungodliness that they have (AO)committed in such an ungodly way, and of all (AP)the harsh things that ungodly sinners have spoken against him.” 16 These are grumblers, malcontents, (AQ)following their own sinful desires; (AR)they are loud-mouthed boasters, (AS)showing favoritism to gain advantage.
A Call to Persevere
17 But you must (AT)remember, beloved, the predictions of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ. 18 They[f] said to you, (AU)“In the last time there will be scoffers, following their own ungodly passions.” 19 It is these who cause divisions, worldly people, (AV)devoid of the Spirit. 20 But you, beloved, (AW)building yourselves up in your most holy faith and (AX)praying in the Holy Spirit, 21 (AY)keep yourselves in the love of God, (AZ)waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life. 22 And have mercy on those who doubt; 23 save others by (BA)snatching them out of (BB)the fire; to others show mercy (BC)with fear, hating even (BD)the garment[g] stained by the flesh.
Doxology
24 (BE)Now to him who is able (BF)to keep you from stumbling and (BG)to present you (BH)blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy, 25 to (BI)the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, (BJ)be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time[h] and now and forever. Amen.

The Warnings of History to the Ungodly
1 [a](A)Jude, a (B)bond-servant of Jesus Christ and brother of [b]James,
To (C)those who are the called, beloved in God the Father, and (D)kept for Jesus Christ: 2 (E)May mercy, peace, and love (F)be multiplied to you.
3 (G)Beloved, while I was making every effort to write you about our (H)common salvation, I felt the necessity to write to you appealing that you (I)contend earnestly for (J)the faith that was once for all time (K)handed down to (L)the [c]saints. 4 For certain people have (M)crept in unnoticed, those who were long beforehand [d](N)marked out for this condemnation, ungodly persons who turn (O)the grace of our God into (P)indecent behavior and (Q)deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.
5 Now I want to (R)remind you, though (S)you know everything once and for all, that [e]the Lord, (T)after saving a people out of the land of Egypt, [f]subsequently destroyed those who did not believe. 6 And (U)angels who did not keep their own domain but abandoned their proper dwelling place, these He has (V)kept in eternal restraints under darkness for the judgment of the great day, 7 just as (W)Sodom and Gomorrah and the (X)cities around them, since they in the same way as these angels indulged in sexual perversion and (Y)went after [g]strange flesh, are exhibited as an [h](Z)example in undergoing the (AA)punishment of eternal fire.
8 Yet in the same way these people also, dreaming, (AB)defile the flesh, reject authority, and speak abusively of angelic [i]majesties. 9 But (AC)Michael (AD)the archangel, when he disputed with the devil and argued about (AE)the body of Moses, did not dare pronounce against him an abusive judgment, but said, “(AF)The Lord rebuke you!” 10 But (AG)these people disparage all the things that they do not understand; and (AH)all the things that they know by instinct, (AI)like unreasoning animals, by these things they are destroyed. 11 Woe to them! For they have gone (AJ)the way of Cain, and for pay [j]they have given themselves up to (AK)the error of Balaam, and (AL)perished in the rebellion of Korah. 12 These are the ones who are [k]hidden reefs (AM)in your love feasts when they feast with you (AN)without fear, like shepherds caring only for themselves; (AO)clouds without water, (AP)carried along by winds; autumn trees without fruit, [l]doubly dead, (AQ)uprooted; 13 (AR)wild waves of the sea, churning up (AS)their own shameful deeds like dirty foam; wandering stars, (AT)for whom the [m]gloom of darkness has been reserved forever.
14 It was also about these people that (AU)Enoch, in the seventh generation from Adam, prophesied, saying, “(AV)Behold, the Lord has come with [n]many thousands of His holy ones, 15 (AW)to execute judgment upon all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their ungodly deeds which they have done in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which (AX)ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.” 16 These are (AY)grumblers, finding fault, (AZ)following after their own lusts; [o]they speak (BA)arrogantly, flattering people (BB)for the sake of gaining an advantage.
Keep Yourselves in the Love of God
17 But you, (BC)beloved, (BD)ought to remember the words that were spoken beforehand by (BE)the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ, 18 that they were saying to you, “(BF)In the last time there will be mockers, (BG)following after their own ungodly lusts.” 19 These are the ones who cause divisions, [p](BH)worldly-minded, [q]devoid of the Spirit. 20 But you, (BI)beloved, (BJ)building yourselves up on your most holy (BK)faith, (BL)praying in the Holy Spirit, 21 keep yourselves in the love of God, (BM)looking forward to the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life. 22 And have mercy on some, who are doubting; 23 save others, (BN)snatching them out of the fire; and on some have mercy with fear, (BO)hating even the garment polluted by the flesh.
24 (BP)Now to Him who is able to protect you from stumbling, and to (BQ)make you stand in the presence of His glory, blameless with (BR)great joy, 25 to the (BS)only (BT)God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, (BU)be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority (BV)before all time and now and [r]forever. Amen.

Nova Versão Transformadora
Saudações de Judas
1 Eu, Judas, escravo de Jesus Cristo e irmão de Tiago, escrevo esta carta aos que foram chamados por Deus, o Pai, que os ama e os guarda sob o cuidado de Jesus Cristo.[a]
2 Que vocês tenham cada vez mais misericórdia, paz e amor.
O perigo dos falsos mestres
3 Amados, embora planejasse escrever-lhes com todo empenho sobre a salvação que compartilhamos, entendo agora que devo escrever a respeito de outro assunto e insistir que defendam a fé que, de uma vez por todas, foi confiada ao povo santo. 4 Pois alguns indivíduos perversos se infiltraram em seu meio sem serem notados, dizendo que a graça de Deus permite levar uma vida imoral. A condenação de tais pessoas foi registrada há muito tempo, pois negaram Jesus Cristo, nosso único Soberano e Senhor.
5 Ainda que já saibam dessas coisas, desejo lembrar a vocês que o Senhor[b] libertou o povo de Israel do Egito, mas depois destruiu aqueles que não permaneceram fiéis. 6 Também lhes lembro os anjos que não se limitaram à autoridade recebida, mas deixaram o lugar a que pertenciam. Deus os mantém acorrentados em prisões eternas, na escuridão, aguardando o dia do julgamento. 7 E não se esqueçam de Sodoma e Gomorra e das cidades vizinhas, cheias de imoralidade e de perversão sexual de todo tipo, que foram destruídas pelo fogo e servem de advertência do fogo eterno do julgamento.
8 Da mesma forma, essas pessoas, afirmando ter autoridade com base em sonhos, vivem de modo imoral, desprezam a autoridade e zombam dos seres sobrenaturais.[c] 9 Mas nem mesmo o arcanjo Miguel se atreveu a acusar o diabo de blasfêmia. Ele disse apenas: “O Senhor o repreenda!”. (Isso aconteceu quando Miguel discutia com o diabo a respeito do corpo de Moisés.) 10 Tais indivíduos, porém, zombam de coisas que não entendem. Como criaturas irracionais, agem segundo seus instintos e, desse modo, provocam a própria destruição. 11 Que aflição os espera! Pois eles seguem os passos de Caim, enganam outros por dinheiro, como Balaão, e perecem em sua rebelião, como Coré.
12 Quando esses indivíduos, sem o menor constrangimento, participam de suas refeições de celebração ao amor do Senhor, são como perigosos recifes que podem fazê-los naufragar.[d] Sim, são como pastores que só se preocupam consigo mesmos, como nuvens que passam sobre a terra sem dar chuva, como árvores no outono, duplamente mortas porque não dão frutos e foram arrancadas pelas raízes. 13 São como ondas violentas no mar, espalhando a espuma de seus atos vergonhosos, como estrelas sem rumo, condenadas para sempre à mais profunda escuridão.
14 Enoque, que viveu na sétima geração depois de Adão, profetizou a respeito desses homens, dizendo: “Ouçam! O Senhor vem com incontáveis milhares de santos 15 para julgar a todos. Convencerá os pecadores de seus atos perversos e dos insultos que pronunciaram contra ele”.[e]
16 São murmuradores e descontentes, que vivem apenas para satisfazer os próprios desejos. Contam vantagem em alta voz e bajulam outros para conseguir o que querem.
Apelo à fidelidade
17 Amados, lembrem-se do que previram os apóstolos de nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo. 18 Eles lhes disseram que nos últimos tempos haveria zombadores cujo propósito na vida é satisfazer seus desejos perversos. 19 Eles provocam divisões entre vocês e seguem seus instintos naturais, pois não têm neles o Espírito.
20 Mas vocês, amados, edifiquem uns aos outros em sua santíssima fé, orem no poder do Espírito Santo[f] 21 e mantenham-se firmes no amor de Deus,[g] enquanto aguardam a vida eterna que nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo lhes dará em sua misericórdia.
22 Tenham compaixão daqueles[h] que vacilam na fé. 23 Resgatem outros, tirando-os das chamas do julgamento. De outros ainda, tenham misericórdia,[i] mas façam isso com grande cautela, odiando os pecados que contaminam a vida deles.[j]
Oração de louvor
24 Toda a glória seja àquele que é poderoso para guardá-los de cair e para levá-los, com grande alegria e sem defeito, à sua presença gloriosa. 25 Toda a glória seja àquele que é o único Deus, nosso Salvador por meio de Jesus Cristo, nosso Senhor. Glória, majestade, poder e autoridade lhe pertencem desde antes de todos os tempos, agora e para sempre! Amém.
