From Young's Literal Translation. Translated by Robert Young. Epistle of Jude. Judas of Jesus Christ, a servant and brother of James. To those sanctified in God the Father. And in Jesus Christ, kept, called kindness to you and peace and love be multiplied. Beloved, all diligence using to write to you concerning the common salvation, I had necessity to write to you, exhorting to agonize for the faith once delivered to the saints. For there did come in unobserved certain men, long ago having been written beforehand to this judgment, impious the grace of our God perverting to this chiviousness, and are only master God and Lord Jesus Christ denying. And to remind you I intend you, knowing once this, that the Lord of people out of the land of Egypt having saved. Again those who did not believe did destroy. Messengers also, those who did not keep their own principality, but did leave their proper dwelling. To a judgment of a great day in bonds everlasting under darkness he had kept as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them. In like manner to these having given themselves to hoard them, and gone after other flesh having been set before an example of fire age during justice suffering. In like manner nevertheless these dreamers also the flesh indeed do defile, and lordship they put away in dignities they speak evil of. Yet Michael the chief messenger, when with the devil contending he was disputing about the body of Moses, did not dare to bring up an evil speaking judgment, but said the Lord rebuked thee. And these as many things indeed as they have not known they speak evil of, and as many things as naturally as the irrational beasts they understand. In these they are corrupted, woe to them, because in the way of Cain they did go on and to the deceit of Balam for reward they did rush. And in the Gainsang of Korah they did perish. These are in your love feasts, cracking rocks, feasting together with you without fear shepherding themselves, clouds without water, by winds carried about, trees altumna without fruit, twice dead rooted up, wild waves of a sea foamy out of their own shames, stars going astray, to whom the gloom of the darkness to the age hath been kept. In Prophesy also to these did the seventh from Adam, Enid saying, Lo the Lord did come in his saintly myriads to do judgment against all and to convict all the impious ones. Concerning all their works of impiety that they did impiously and concerning all the stiff things that speak against him did impious sinners. These are murmurers, refiners, according to their desires walking, and their mouth doth speak great swellings, giving admiration to persons for the sake of profit. And ye beloved, remember ye the saying spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ that they said to you that in the last time there shall be scoffers after their own desires of impiety is going on. These are those setting themselves apart, natural men, the spirit not having. And ye beloved, on your most holy faith building yourselves up in the Holy Spirit praying yourselves in the love of God keep ye, waiting for the kindness of our Lord Jesus Christ to life age durung, and to some be kind, judging thoroughly, and some in fear save ye out of the fire snatching, hating even the coat from the flesh spotted. And to him who is able to guard you not stumbling, and to set you in the presence of his glory unblemished, in gladness to the only wise God our Saviour is glory and greatness, power and authority, both now and to all the ages. Amen. End of Epistle of Jude from Young's Literal Translation, translated by Robert Young.
