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

⁵ Now I want to remind you, though you know it all already, that he who brought the people safely out of the land of Egypt afterward destroyed the ones who did not believe, ⁶ and the angels who neglected their responsibilities and abandoned their homes he has put in everlasting chains to be kept in darkness for the judgment of the great Day, ⁷ just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighboring towns which like them indulged in immorality and unnatural vice stand as a warning, in undergoing the punishment of eternal fire.

⁸ In that same way these dreamers defile the body, make light of authority, and deride majesty. ⁹ The archangel Michael himself, when he had the dispute with the devil about Moses' body, did not venture to condemn him for blasphemy; he only said, "May the Lord rebuke you!" ¹⁰ But these people deride anything they do not understand, and the things they know by instinct, like unreasoning animals, they use for their own destruction. ¹¹ Alas for them, for they follow Cain's path, they plunge into Balaam's error for gain, and they perish in rebelliousness like Korah's.
