Now I want to remind you, even though you are fully aware of these things, that the Lord who once saved his people from the land of Egypt later destroyed those who did not believe.

In a similar way, these dreamers also defile their flesh, reject the Lord's authority, and slander his glorious beings.

Whatever these people do not understand, they slander. Like irrational animals, they are destroyed by the very things they know by instinct.

These people are stains on your love feasts. They feast with you without any sense of awe. They are shepherds who care only for themselves. They are waterless clouds blown about by the winds. They are autumn trees that are fruitless, totally dead, and uprooted.

Enoch, in the seventh generation from Adam, prophesied about these people when he said, "Look! The Lord has come with countless thousands of his holy ones.

15He will judge all people and convict everyone of all the ungodly things that they have done in such an ungodly way, including all the harsh things that these ungodly sinners have said about him."

These people are complainers and faultfinders, following their own desires. They say arrogant things and flatter people in order to take advantage of them.

These are the people who cause divisions. They are worldly, devoid of the Spirit.
