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

⁵ But I wish to remind you, though you once knew this, that the Lord, having saved the people from the land of Egypt, then destroyed those who believed not. ⁶ The angels also that kept not their own dominion, but left their proper habitation, he has reserved, in eternal chains under darkness, to the judgment of the great day. ⁷ So Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities which were about them, in like manner giving themselves over to lewdness, and following after other flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the punishment of eternal fire.

⁸ Yet, these dreamers also in like manner defile the flesh, despise government, and speak evil of dignitaries. ⁹ But Michael the archangel, when, contending with the devil, he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring a railing accusation, but said: The Lord rebuke you. ¹⁰ But these speak evil of the things which they know not: and those things which they know naturally, as animals without reason, in these they corrupt themselves. ¹¹ Alas for them! for they have gone in the way of Cain: and, in the error of Balaam, they have rushed headlong after reward, and have perished in the rebellion of Korah.
