ABP - Jude

Chapter 1

1:1  Jude, [2of Jesus 3Christ 1bondman], and brother of James, to the ones [2in 3God 4the father 1having been sanctified], and of Jesus Christ being kept -- called ones.

1:2  Mercy to you, and [2peace 3and 4love 1may] be multiplied.

1:3  Beloved, [2all 3diligence 1having] to write to you concerning the common deliverance, [2necessity 1I had] to write to you, exhorting you to contend earnestly in the [2once 3delivered up 4to the 5holy ones 1belief].

1:4  For crept in certain men, the ones earlier being written about beforehand in this judgment -- impious, [2the 4of our God 3favor 1transposing] into lewdness, and [2the 3only 4master 1God] and our Lord Jesus Christ denying.

1:5  [3to remind 1And 4you 2I want], [3knowing 1you 2once] this, that the Lord [2people 3from out of 4the land 5of Egypt 1having delivered], the second of the ones not believing he destroyed.

1:6  Also angels not keeping their own sovereignty, but leaving their own dwelling-place, [6for 9judgment 8of great 7a day 3bonds 2in everlasting 4under 5the infernal region 1he keeps].

1:7  As Sodom and Gomorrah, and the [2around 3them 1cities] likened to these in manner given themselves to fornication, and having gone after [2flesh 1other], are situated as an example, [4fire 3of eternal 2punishment 1undergoing].

1:8  In like manner however also these dreaming ones, [3the flesh 1indeed 2defile], [3lordships 1and 2annul], [3glorious things 1and 2blaspheme].

1:9  And Michael the archangel, when [2the 3devil 1litigating against], reasoned concerning Moses's body, did not dare [3case 1to bear 2a blasphemous], but said, May [2reproach 3you 1the Lord].

1:10  But these indeed as many things as they know not of, they blaspheme; and as many things as [2physically 4as 5illogical 6living creatures 1they 3have knowledge of], in these things they corrupt themselves.

1:11  Woe to them, for in the way of Cain they went, and in the delusion of Balaam for a wage they shed, and in the dispute of Core perished.

1:12  These are in your love feasts as hidden reefs, feasting together among you, fearlessly tending themselves; [2clouds 1waterless 4by 5winds 3being carried about]; [3trees 2autumnal 1unfruitful] twice having died, being rooted out;

1:13  [2waves 1wild] of the sea foaming up their own shame; [2stars 1wandering], ones to whom the infernal region of darkness [2into 3the 4eon 1is being kept].

1:14  [7prophesied 1And 2also 8to these 4the seventh 5from 6Adam 3Enoch], saying, Behold, the Lord came with [2holy 3myriads 1his],

1:15  executing judgment against all, and to reprove all the impious of them concerning all the works of their impiety which they were impious; and concerning all of the hard things which [3spoke 4against 5him 2sinners 1impious].

1:16  These are grumblers being discontented, [2according to 3their desires 1going]; and their mouth speaks pompous things, admiring a person for the benefit of favor.

1:17  But you beloved, remember the sayings! the ones being described beforehand by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ.

1:18  For they said to you, that in the end of time there will be mockers [2according to 3their own 4desires 1going] of the impious deeds.

1:19  These are the ones separating bounds, physical, [3spirit 1not 2having].

1:20  But you, beloved, [3in 4your most holy 5belief 1building up 2yourselves], [2in 4spirit 3holy 1praying].

1:21  [2yourselves 3in 4love 5of God 1keep]! waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, unto life eternal.

1:22  And indeed on some show mercy, scrutinizing!

1:23  And some with fear, deliver from the fire by seizing! Detesting even the [3by 4the 5flesh 2being stained 1inner garment].

1:24  But to him being able to keep them steady, and to stand them in front of his glory unblemished in exultation,

1:25  to the only wise God, our deliverer, be glory and greatness, might and authority, even now and into all the eons. Amen.
