Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to those who are called, loved by God the Father, and kept for Jesus Christ:

Mercy to you and peace and love be multiplied.

These are hidden rocky reefs in your love feasts when they feast with you, shepherds who without fear feed themselves; clouds without water, carried along by winds; autumn leaves without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;

But you, beloved, remember the words which have been spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ.

They said to you that "In the last time there will be mockers, walking after their own ungodly lusts."

and some save, snatching them out of the fire, and on some have mercy with fear; hating even the clothing stained by the flesh.

to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever. Amen.
