Jude 5-7
New Living Translation
5 So I want to remind you, though you already know these things, that Jesus[a] first rescued the nation of Israel from Egypt, but later he destroyed those who did not remain faithful. 6 And I remind you of the angels who did not stay within the limits of authority God gave them but left the place where they belonged. God has kept them securely chained in prisons of darkness, waiting for the great day of judgment. 7 And don’t forget Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighboring towns, which were filled with immorality and every kind of sexual perversion. Those cities were destroyed by fire and serve as a warning of the eternal fire of God’s judgment.

Jude 5-7
English Standard Version
5 Now I want (A)to remind you, although you once fully knew it, that (B)Jesus, who saved[a] a people out of the land of Egypt, (C)afterward destroyed those who did not believe. 6 And (D)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 (E)Sodom and Gomorrah and (F)the surrounding cities, which likewise indulged in sexual immorality and (G)pursued unnatural desire,[b] serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire.
