^{Jude 4-11} 

⁴ For certain individuals whose condemnation was written
about^[b] long ago
have secretly slipped in among you. They are ungodly people, who pervert the
grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only
Sovereign and Lord.

⁵ Though you already know all this, I want to remind you that
the Lord^[c] at one time
delivered his people out of Egypt, but later destroyed those who did not
believe. ⁶ And the angels who did not keep their positions of
authority but abandoned their proper dwelling—these he has kept in darkness,
bound with everlasting chains for judgment on the great Day. ⁷ In a
similar way, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns gave themselves up to
sexual immorality and perversion. They serve as an example of those who suffer
the punishment of eternal fire.

⁸ In the very same way, on the strength of their dreams these
ungodly people pollute their own bodies, reject authority and heap abuse on
celestial beings. ⁹ But even the archangel Michael, when he was
disputing with the devil about the body of Moses, did not himself dare to
condemn him for slander but said, “The Lord rebuke you!”^{[d] 10}
Yet these people slander whatever they do not understand, and the very things
they do understand by instinct—as irrational animals do—will destroy them.

¹¹ Woe to them! They have taken the way of Cain; they have rushed
for profit into Balaam’s error; they have been destroyed in Korah’s rebellion.
