Jude 5-11

New King James Version

Old and New Apostates

⁵ But I want to remind you, though you once knew this, that ^(A)the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe. ⁶ And the angels who did not keep their ^[a]proper domain, but left their own abode, He has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day; ⁷ as ^(B)Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them in a similar manner to these, having given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the ^[b]vengeance of eternal fire.

^8 (C)Likewise also these dreamers defile the flesh, reject authority, and ^(D)speak evil of ^[c]dignitaries. ⁹ Yet Michael the archangel, in ^[d]contending with the devil, when he disputed about the body of Moses, dared not bring against him a reviling accusation, but said, ^(E)“The Lord rebuke you!” ^10 (F)But these speak evil of whatever they do not know; and whatever they know naturally, like brute beasts, in these things they corrupt themselves. ¹¹ Woe to them! For they have gone in the way ^(G)of Cain, ^(H)have run greedily in the error of Balaam for profit, and perished ^(I)in the rebellion of Korah.
