Why does the spelling look unusual?

¹ Iude the seruant of Iesus Christ, and brother of Iames, to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserued in Iesus Christ, & called:

² Mercie vnto you, and peace, and loue be multiplied.

³ Beloued, when I gaue all diligence to write vnto you of the common saluation: it was needfull for mee to write vnto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once deliuered vnto the Saints.

⁴ For there are certaine men crept in vnawares, who were before of olde ordained to this condemnation, vngodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciuiousnesse, and denying the onely Lord God, & our Lord Iesus Christ.

⁵ I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord hauing saued the people out of the land of Egypt afterward destroied them that beleeued not.

⁶ And the Angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserued in euerlasting chaines vnder darkenesse, vnto the iudgement of the great day.

⁷ Euen as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them, in like maner giuing themselues ouer to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffring the vengeance of eternall fire.

⁸ Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speake euill of dignities.

⁹ Yet Michael the Archangel, when contending with the deuill, he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.

¹⁰ But these speake euill of those things, which they know not: but what they knowe naturally, as brute beastes, in those things they corrupt themselues.

¹¹ Wo vnto them, for they haue gone in the way of Kain, and ranne greedily after the errour of Balaam, for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.

¹² These are spottes in your feasts of charitie, when they feast with you, feeding themselues without feare: cloudes they are without water, caried about of winds, trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twise dead, plucked vp by the rootes.

¹³ Raging waues of the sea, foming out their owne shame, wandring stars, to whom is reserued the blacknesse of darkenesse for euer.

¹⁴ And Enoch also, the seuenth from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord commeth with ten thousands of his Saints,

¹⁵ To execute iudgement vpon all, and to conuince all that are vngodly among them, of all their vngodly deeds which they haue vngodly committed, and of all their heard speaches, which vngodly sinners haue spoken against him.

¹⁶ These are murmurers complainers, walking after their owne lustes, and their mouth speaketh great swelling wordes, hauing mens persons in admiration because of aduantage.

¹⁷ But beloued, remember yee the words, which were spoken before of the Apostles of our Lord Iesus Christ:

¹⁸ How that they tolde you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walke after their own vngodly lustes.

¹⁹ These be they who separate themselues, sensual, hauing not the spirit.

²⁰ But yee beloued, building vp your selues on your most holy faith, praying in the holy Ghost,

²¹ Keepe your selues in the loue of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Iesus Christ vnto eternall life.

²² And of some haue compassion, making a difference:

²³ And others saue with feare, pulling them out of the fire: hating euen the garment spotted by the flesh.

²⁴ Now vnto him that is able to keepe you from falling, and to present you faultlesse before the presence of his glory with exceeding ioy,

²⁵ To the onely wise God our Sauiour, be glory and maiestie, dominion and power, now and euer. Amen.

Wohoooandplay's Jude Chapter 1 comment on 2/19/2012, 1:08pm...

I don't know about quiting calling the devil a liar but rather quit disputing with the devil in terms of the sinful worldly nature of the human condition. In other words don't try to understand and dispute the devil through reason in pursuit of some ulterior motive, as oppossed to godly reason and godly motivation. (vs 4 and 10). How do you do that? Keep steadfast with the way of christ. How do you do that? verse 19 and 20 and 21 describe how you must not remain "sensual" or rather distant from yourself (aka selfless) and that you must pray *in* not *to* the holy ghost. What does that mean? well for me that means detaching yourself and allowing god to manifest from within so you embody christ (sort of like what happens when you die and if you "accept" christ in you're life he magically steps in front of you're tainted being full of sins.) Others might interpret this in light of praying *to* christ and *accepting* christ meaning you think of him often and actively keep him close by. However there clarifying this closeness as being close with the bible rather than from *within*. Do you see my point? He's discussing the potential faults that naturally come with the nature of the bible and it's flexible interpretive quality. He's saying mere scripture isn't were all the authority is coming from you have to let the scripture of the bible or christ from within in order to truly dispute the devil from a godly position. check out vs 24. This is a big question. How do you communicate with god and how do you act through god? What is motivating you? Is being simply conversant with the scripture enough? What does it mean to be conversant with the scripture keeping in mind it's flexible interpretive nature? If those who wrote the scripture are said to embody the holy ghost then how are mere sinners supposed to interpret such transcended speech? Where does the authority lie? I propose through a transcended lens, one that has at least glimpsed and experienced the holy ghost not merely been conversant with scripture through the lens of the sinful "sensual" mind. "prayer in the holy ghost".

Pernella pollard's Jude Chapter 1 comment on 1/28/2012, 9:12pm...

reaponse to Eahoue's u should read over verse 19 an 20. verse 19 stated "These be they who SEPERATE themselves, sensual, HAVING NOT THE SPIRIT.
verse 20 mentioned " Praying in the Spirit. When the Holy Spirit is active in A believer's Life (one must be serving God in spirit and truth) he or she can absolutely pray in the Spirit.I have experience.you know that once we accept Jesus Christ in our lives we receive the Holy Spirit. But the Holy Spirit is not active in every one.

Tim's Jude Chapter 1 comment on 1/17/2012, 5:58am...

I love how verse 12 and 13 are so visual! They are really beautiful verses.

Eahoue's Jude Chapter 1 comment about verse 20 on 1/02/2012, 4:58pm...

A beautiful verse if understood correctly. Since vs.19 infers that believers *have* the Spirit then *praying in the Spirit* would not make sense and be redundant.
I researched the Greek word *In G1722* and found that the preposition *to* makes better sense.

Jude 1:20 "Praying to the Holy Spirit (fully God)",
who teaches, guides, sanctifies, etc and speaks to us makes much better sense.
Would we not converse back? This is a form of trust, love, worship, prayer and fellowshipping.

@ Travis: I don't think having passions for something is necessarily wrong; however, when you don't put God first, than I feel it becomes wrong.

Garyloyd's Jude Chapter 1 comment on 12/12/2011, 11:31pm...

Verse 6. These are the angels that are spoken of in chapter 6 of Genesis who left heaven, their first estate, and took woman as play things and made geber babies trying to stop Gods plan. These follow satan and will be releast and will return wiith him for 2 and half months. At the return of the true Christ they will be die.

Travis's Jude Chapter 1 comment on 8/22/2011, 12:07pm...

Gain as godliness. Who are those who preach gain as godliness? If you see a supposed preacher of the gospel and they teach the doctrines of Korah or the doctrines of Balaam. Are they truly a preacher of the Gospel of The Christ? Why are we taught to covet, name and claim in faith? better yet, why are people so deceived by this doctrine? Because we are not selfless, we are selfish. Study the doctrine of Korah and Balaam, see how the Lord used Balaam and then compare their fruit to your own favorite preacher, Church building. Have you been decieved by the lust and desires of your own heart? And now areyou unwilling to repent, because you may have to give it all up. The sun rises on the righteous and unrighteous. Rain falls on the godly and ungodly. Just because you have plenty, is that really a blessing or a curse? What do you think about the most, talk about the most, what do you do the most? Theres your gods. Are you severing God or Mammon? How about your church or Pastor? You can tell them by their fruit. And you are to judge from within not from without. Read Colossians 3 and tell God where your entire being should be looking towards and you wont fall for the teacher, Jude is warning you of in these passages. And quit calling the devil a liar. Even Micheal didn't, who are we to do what even the powerful Micheal didn't do.
