1
Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, [and] called:
2
Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied.
3
Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort [you] that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.
4
For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
5
I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.
6
And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.
7
Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
8
Likewise also these [filthy] dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.
9
Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.
10
But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.
11
Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.
12
These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds [they are] without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
13
Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.
14
And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,
15
To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard [speeches] which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.
16
These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling [words], having men's persons in admiration because of advantage.
17
But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;
18
How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.
19
These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.
20
But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,
21
Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
22
And of some have compassion, making a difference:
23
And others save with fear, pulling [them] out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
24
Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present [you] faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,
25
To the only wise God our Saviour, [be] glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.

This portion of the Blble is reminding Christains of the fact that Evil exist in the world but that make Jesus Your focus will always keep you from falling because he has gotten a name which superceeds any existing Name on earth,and in Heaven but if we compromise we will be ensave by the evil.

This is a great Book of the Bible. It gives of the fate of the fallen angels and why they will be destroyed. The entire word of God is sharper than any two-edged sword. I love to bask in the word and receive what my MASTER is saying to me. "TO GOD BE THE GLORY".

Praise the Lord for your timely and spiritual insight into what your reader audience need. This is truly the best past time one could get fron the internet, namely becoming knowlegable of the word of life.

Louise, really good..
I got one more thing from this which really does not come as a surprise but, just because you are saved, even a resident of heaven (angels), having seen the face of God. This does not mean that you cannot, and will not be punished. Once again we see examples showing that God can be provoked into action, and cannot be mocked. It might appear that you, or someone else that you see, is getting way with it, but appearances are deceiving..

It is a sad thing that many have no fear of the one and only true living God, Jehovah God. It is also sad that many believe that Jesus our Christ, who paid for our sin debt, is nothing but a story, untrue. Truth be told that all who believe that the aforementioned is true, their place is reserved in the blackness of darkness.
