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

⁵ I want to remind you though you once knew this, that Jehovah (God), having saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe. ⁶ Angels who did not keep their position left their proper habitation. He has kept them in everlasting bonds under darkness for the judgment of the great day. ⁷ Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them are an example for they, in like manner with these surrendered to fornication and went after flesh for unnatural use. They received justice by ever burning fire.

⁸ In like manner these men also in their dreams defile the flesh, reject authority and speak evil of glorious ones. ⁹ Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil disputed about the body of Moses. He did not speak evil judgment against him in abusive terms, but said: Jehovah rebukes you. (Zechariah 3:2) ¹⁰ These men speak abusively about things they do not know. What they understand naturally, like the creatures without reason, they corrupt themselves. ¹¹ Woe to them! They went in the way of Cain, and ran riotously in the error of Balaam for hire, and perished in the rebellious talk of Korah.
