Judah 3-16: Judgment on False Teachers
3 Beloved, with all eagerness to write you about our common salvation I have a constraint to write to you urging you to struggle for the faith that was handed down one time to the holy ones. 4 For some people have snuck in, who long ago were written down for this judgment, godless ones, distorting the grace of our God into sensuality and denying the only master, our lord Yeshua the Messiah.
5 And I want to remind you, as all [of you] know that [the] lord once saved the nation from the land of Egypt but the next time destroyed those who didn’t trust, 6 and the angels who didn’t obey their own ruler but abandoned their own dwelling for the judgment on the great day, they have obeyed eternal masters under darkness, 7 like Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them, in the same way to them, they sin sexually and go after strange flesh, they serve as an example of suffering eternal fire.
8 Also likewise, however, these dreamers of flesh indeed defile lordship and reject praise and blaspheme. 9 But the archangel Michael, when he discussed and debated with the devil about Moses’ body, didn’t dare to bring a charge of blasphemy but said, “The lord will rebuke you.” 10 But these ones indeed blaspheme whatever they don’t understand, and naturally like wild creatures, whatever they approach, by these things they are destroyed. 11 Woe to them, that they walked in the road of Cain and abandon themselves to the deception of Balaam’s reward and are destroyed in Korach’s rebellion. 12 These are the stains carousing together fearlessly at your love-feasts, caring for themselves, waterless clouds driven by the winds, trees fruitless in late autumn, doubly destroyed and uprooted, 13 fierce sea waves foaming at their own shameful deeds, wandering stars which the gloom of darkness keeps forever.
14 And also the seventh from Adam, Enoch, foresaw them saying, “Behold the lord came in his holy myriads 15 to do judgment on everyone and to choose each soul for all their deeds of godliness when they feared God and for all their crimes when they spoke about him sinning against godliness.
16 These are grumblers becoming dissatisfied with life because of their own desires, and their mouth says boastful things, flattering faces for the sake of advantage.

Judah 17-23: Warnings and Exhortations
17 But you, beloved, remember the words spoken before by the emissaries of our lord Yeshua the Messiah 18 because he told you [that] ‘until the end of [the] time there will be those who mock according to their own desires leaving the godly ones.’
19 These are dividers, materialistic, not having the spirit. 20 But you, beloved, building each other up in your holiness and trust, praying in the holy spirit, 21 will keep each other in God’s love, receiving the mercy of our lord Yeshua the Messiah into eternal life. 22 And indeed have mercy on those doubters, 23 and save them from the fire by grabbing them, but have mercy on them with fear, hating even the clothes stained by flesh.
