1:6

Jude 1 📜 📕 ↷

6 But the Angels which kept not their principality, but forsook their own habitation, he hath reserved under darkness in eternal bonds unto the judgement of the great day.📜💬📚

Eternal Fire for Homosexuality

7 As Sodom and Gomorrhe, and the cities adjoining in like manner having fornicated, and going after other flesh, were made an example, sustaining the pain of eternal fire.📜💬📚

8 In like manner these also defile the flesh, and despise dominion, & blaspheme majesty.📜💬📚

9 When Michael the Archangel, disputing with the devil, made altercation for the body of Moyses, he durst not infer judgement of blasphemy, but said, Our Lord command thee.📜💬📚

10 But these, what things soever certes they are ignorant of, they blaspheme: and what things soever naturally, as dumb beasts, they know, in those they are corrupted.📜💬📚

11 Woe unto them, which have gone in the way of Cain: and with the error of Balaam, have for reward poured out themselves, and have perished in the contradiction of Core.📜💬📚

12 These are in their banquets, spots, feasting together without fear, feeding themselves, clouds without water which are carried about of winds, trees of autumn, unfruitful, twice dead, plucked up by the roots,📜💬📚

13 raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own confusions, wandering stars: to whom the storm of darkness is reserved for ever.📜💬📚

14 And of these prophesied Enoch, the seventh from Adam, saying: Behold our Lord is come in his holy thousands,📜💬📚

15 to do judgement against all, and to reprove all the impious, of all the works of their impiety whereby they have done impiously, and of all the hard things which impious sinners have spoken against him.📜💬📚

16 These are murmurers, full of complaints, walking according to their own desires, and their mouth speaketh pride, admiring persons for gain sake.📜💬📚

A Call to Persevere

17 But you, my dearest, be mindful of the words which have been spoken before by the Apostles of our Lord JESUS Christ,📜💬📚

18 who told you, that in the last time shall come mockers, according to their own desires walking in impieties.📜💬📚

19 These are they which segregate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.📜💬📚

20 But you, my dearest, building your selves upon our most holy faith, in the Holy Ghost, praying,📜💬📚

21 keep your selves in the love of God, expecting the mercy of our Lord JESUS Christ unto life everlasting.📜💬📚

22 And these certes reprove being judged:📜💬📚

23 but them save, pulling out of the fire. And on other, have mercy in fear: hating also that which is carnal, the spotted coat.📜💬📚
