Even as Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities about them, which in the same manner with these gave themselves over to fornication, and went after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

But these rail at all the things which they know not: and all the things which they know naturally, as the brute beasts, in these they are defiled.

To execute judgment upon all, and to convict all the ungodly of them of all their ungodly deeds, which they have impiously committed, and of all the grievous things which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.

But ye, beloved, remember the words which were spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ.
