1:2 May mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you.
1:3 Beloved, while I was making every effort to write you about our common salvation, I felt the necessity to write to you appealing that you contend earnestly for the faith that was once for all time handed down to the ①saints.
▷ ①Lit holy ones; i.e., God’s people

1:6 And angels who did not keep their own domain but abandoned their proper dwelling place, these He has kept in eternal restraints under darkness for the judgment of the great day,

▷ ①Lit different; or other flesh ②Or example of eternal fire, in undergoing punishment
1:8 Yet in the same way these people also, dreaming, defile the flesh, reject authority, and speak abusively of angelic ①majesties.
▷ ①Lit glories
1:9 But Michael the archangel, when he disputed with the devil and argued about the body of Moses, did not dare pronounce against him an abusive judgment, but said, “The Lord rebuke you!”
1:10 But these people disparage all the things that they do not understand; and all the things that they know by instinct, like unreasoning animals, by these things they are destroyed.
1:11 Woe to them! For they have gone the way of Cain, and for pay ①they have given themselves up to the error of Balaam, and perished in the rebellion of Korah.
▷ ①Lit they have poured themselves out
1:12 These are the ones who are ①hidden reefs in your love feasts when they feast with you without fear, like shepherds caring only for themselves; clouds without water, carried along by winds; autumn trees without fruit, ②doubly dead, uprooted;
▷ ①Or stains ②Lit twice
1:13 wild waves of the sea, churning up their own shameful deeds like dirty foam; wandering stars, for whom the ①gloom of darkness has been reserved forever.
▷ ①Or netherworld gloom
1:14 It was also about these people that Enoch, in the seventh generation from Adam, prophesied, saying, “Behold, the Lord has come with ①many thousands of His holy ones,
▷ ①Lit His holy ten thousands
1:15 to execute judgment upon all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their ungodly deeds which they have done in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.”
1:16 These are grumblers, finding fault, following after their own lusts; ①they speak arrogantly, flattering people for the sake of gaining an advantage.
▷ ①Lit their mouth speaks
1:17 But you, beloved, ought to remember the words that were spoken beforehand by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ,
1:18 that they were saying to you, “In the last time there will be mockers, following after their own ungodly lusts.”
1:19 These are the ones who cause divisions, ①worldly-minded, ②devoid of the Spirit.
▷ ①Or merely natural ②Lit not having
1:20 But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit,
1:21 keep yourselves in the love of God, looking forward to the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life.
1:22 And have mercy on some, who are doubting;
1:23 save others, snatching them out of the fire; and on some have mercy with fear, hating even the garment polluted by the flesh.
1:24 Now to Him who is able to protect you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory, blameless with great joy,
1:25 to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority before all time and now and ①forever. Amen.
