7 just as ^qSodom and Gomorrah and ^rthe surrounding cities, which likewise indulged in sexual immorality and ^spursued unnatural desire,¹ 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 ^tblaspheme the glorious ones. 9 But when ^uthe archangel ^vMichael, contending with the devil, was disputing ^wabout the body of Moses, he did not presume to pronounce a blasphemous judgment, but said, ^x“The Lord rebuke you.”

Greeting

1 Jude, a servant¹ of Jesus Christ and brother of James,

^aTo those who are called, ^bbeloved in God the Father and ^ckept for² Jesus Christ:

18 They¹ said to you, ^u“In the last time there will be scoffers, following their own ungodly passions.”
