JUDE

Jude Jude a servant of Jesus Christ And brother of James To those who are called beloved in God the Father And kept for Jesus Christ grace mercy and peace always Beloved although I was very eager To write to you about our common salvation I found it necessary to appeal to you To contend for the faith once for all delivered to the saints For certain people have crept in unnoticed Who long ago were designated for this condemnation Ungodly people who pervert the grace of our God Into sensuality and deny our only Master and Lord Now I want to remind you though you once fully knew it That Jesus who saved a people out of Egypt Afterward destroyed those who did not believe And the angels who did not stay within their own position He has kept in eternal chains under gloomy darkness Until the judgment of the great day Just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities Which likewise indulged in sexual immorality and suffered the vengeance of eternal fire Yet in like manner these people also Rely on their dreams defile the flesh Reject authority and blaspheme the glorious ones But you beloved build yourselves up in your most holy faith Pray in the Holy Spirit keep yourselves in the love of God Wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ That leads to eternal life And have mercy on those who doubt with gentle sight Save others by snatching them out of the fire To others show mercy with fear Hating even the garment stained by the flesh Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling And to present you blameless before the presence of His glory With great joy and rejoicing To the only God our Savior Through Jesus Christ our Lord be glory majesty dominion and authority Before all time and now and forever Amen Jude… Jude… Jude… Jude
