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

⁵ But I wish to remind you as once knowing it all, that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who believed not; ⁶ and the angels which kept not their principality, but left their own dwellingplace, he hath kept in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day; ⁷ even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them, in like manner with them giving themselves over to fornication, and going away after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of everlasting fire.

⁸ Yet in like manner these dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and rail at dignities. ⁹ Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the Devil he disputed about the body of Moses, dared not bring against him a railing accusation, but said: The Lord rebuke thee. ¹⁰ But these rail at the things which they know not; but what things they understand naturally, as brute beasts, in these they corrupt themselves. ¹¹ Woe to them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and rushed on in the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Korah.
