Jude 1:5-11 - Apostates: Past And Present

⁵ Now I want to remind you--but you already know it all--that, though the Lord delivered the People from Egypt, yet he afterwards destroyed those who refused to believe in him; ⁶ and that even those angels, who did not keep to their appointed spheres, but left their proper homes, have been kept by him for the judgment of the Great Day in everlasting chains and black darkness. ⁷ Like Sodom and Gomorrah and the towns near them, which gave themselves up to fornication, and fell into unnatural vice, these angels now stand out as a warning, undergoing, as they are, the punishment of aeonian fire.

⁸ Yet in the very same way these men, too, cherishing vain dreams, pollute our human nature, reject control, and malign the Mighty. ⁹ Yet even Michael, the Archangel, when, in his dispute with the Devil, he was arguing about the body of Moses, did not venture to charge him with maligning, but said merely 'The Lord rebuke you!' ¹⁰ But these men malign whatever they do not understand; while they use such things as they know by instinct (like the animals that have no reason) for their own corruption. ¹¹ Alas for them! They walk in the steps of Cain; led astray by Balaam's love of gain, they plunge into sin, and meet their ruin through rebellion like that of Korah.
