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

⁵ But I intend to remind you, you once knowing these things, that the Lord having delivered a people out of the land of Egypt, in the second place destroyed the ones not believing. ⁶ And those angels not having kept their first place, but having deserted their dwelling-place, He has kept in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of a great Day; ⁷ as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them, in like manner to these, committing fornication, and going away after other flesh, laid down an example before-times, undergoing vengeance of everlasting fire.

⁸ Likewise, indeed, also these dreaming ones even defile flesh, and despise rulership, and speak evil of glories. ⁹ But Michael, the archangel, when contending with the Devil, he argued about the body of Moses, he dared not bring a judgment of blasphemy, but said, Let the Lord rebuke you! ¹⁰ But what things they do not know, they speak evil of. And what things they understand naturally, like the animals without reason, they are corrupted by these. ¹¹ Woe to them! For they went the way of Cain, and gave themselves up to the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Korah.
