THE BOOK OF JUDE
Jude Disciples’ Literal New
Testament (DLNT)
1 Jude, a slave of Jesus Christ and brother
of James, to the called ones having been
loved by[b] God the Father and kept by
Jesus Christ:
2 May mercy and peace and love be
multiplied to you.
Beloved, Fight For The Faith Against Those Ungodly Teachers Who Slipped In
Seeking To Change Grace Into License
3 Beloved, while making every effort to be
writing to you concerning our common
salvation, I had the necessity to write to
you exhorting you to be contending for
the faith having been delivered once-for-
all to the saints.
4 For certain persons sneaked-in— the
ones formerly having been portrayed for
this judgment, ungodly ones— changing
the grace of our God into sensuality and
denying our only Master and Lord, Jesus
Christ.
Remember: The Lord Punished The
Unbelieving And The Immoral
5 Now I want to remind you— you
knowing[j] all things— that the Lord,
having once saved the people out of the
land of Egypt, afterwards destroyed the
ones not having believed.
6 And He has kept[n] angels— the ones
not having kept their own domain, but
having left-behind their own dwelling— in
eternal bonds under gloom for the
judgment of the great day.
Jude Evangelical Heritage Version
(EHV)
Greeting
Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ and brother
of James,
To those who are called, who are loved in
God the Father and kept for Jesus Christ:
2 Mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to
you.
Secretly
3 Dear friends, although I was very eager
to write to you concerning the salvation
we share, I felt it was necessary for me to
write, to urge you to continue to contend
for the faith that was delivered to the
saints once and for all.
4 For certain individuals slipped in
secretly, about whom it was written some
time ago that they are condemned. They
are ungodly people who turn the grace of
our God into a license for sin and deny
our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.
5 I want to remind you, though you
already know all these things, that after
the Lord rescued his people out of the
land of Egypt, he later destroyed those
who did not believe.
6 And the angels who did not keep their
position of authority but left their own
dwelling place behind—God has kept
them in everlasting chains under darkness
for the judgment of the great day.
Jude J.B. Phillips New Testament
(PHILLIPS)
1-2 Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ and
brother of James, to those who have
obeyed the call, who are loved by God the
Father and kept in the faith by Jesus
Christ—may you ever experience more
and more of mercy, peace and love!
The reason for this letter
3-4 I fully intended, dear friends, to write
to you about our common salvation, but I
feel compelled to make my letter to you
an earnest appeal to put up a real fight for
the faith which has been once and for all
committed to those who belong to Christ.
For there are men who have
surreptitiously entered the Church but
who have for a long time been heading
straight for the condemnation I shall
plainly give them. They have no real
reverence for God, and they abuse his
grace as an opportunity for immorality.
They will not recognise the only master,
Jesus Christ our Lord.
Past history warns us that the unfaithful
have mingled with the faithful
5-9 I want to remind you of something
that you really know already: and
although the Lord saved all the people
from the land of Egypt, yet afterwards he
brought to their downfall those who
would not trust him. And the very angels
who failed in their high duties and
abandoned their proper sphere have been

called , who are loved In God the Father
and kept for Jesus Chris :
2 May mercy , peace , and love be yours
In ever increasing measure.
3 Dear friends , although I was eager to
write to you about our common
salvation, nevertheless I find it necessary
to write and encourage you to carry on
the struggle for the faith that was once
for all delivered to the saints.
4 For certain men have stolen in
unawares—men who long ago were
designated for this condemnation —
ungodly men who turn the grace of
our God into an excuse for blatant
immorality , and deny our only Master
and Lord , Jesus Christ .

once knew all this , that the Lord , having
saved his people out of Egypt, afterward
destroyed those who did not believe.

Los falsos maestros
3 Queridos hermanos, ardía yo en deseos de
escribirles acerca de un asunto que a todos nos
concierne: el de nuestra salvación. Pero ahora
debo hacerlo forzado por las circunstancias,
pues es preciso alentarlos a combatir en
defensa de la fe confiada a los creyentes de una
vez por todas.
4 Y es que entre ustedes se han infiltrado
solapadamente algunos individuos cuya
condenación está anunciada en las Escrituras
desde hace mucho tiempo; son gente impía que
confunde la gracia de Dios con el libertinaje y
y Señor.
5 Aunque ustedes lo conocen todo
perfectamente, quiero recordarles que si bien el
Señor liberó al pueblo de la opresión egipcia,
después aniquiló a los incrédulos.
6 Y a los ángeles que no supieron conservar su
condición privilegiada y abandonaron la que era
su mansión, los mantiene eternamente
encadenados a las tinieblas en espera del gran
día del juicio.
7 Just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the
cities around them in like manner to
these— having indulged-in-sexual-
immorality and gone after other flesh—
are set-forth as an example, undergoing
the penalty of eternal fire.
Yet These People Defile The Flesh And
Reject God’s Authority. Woe To Them
8 Yet in the same way also these
dreaming ones are defiling the flesh and
rejecting authority and blaspheming
glories!
9 Now Michael the archangel, when he
was speaking concerning the body of
Moses while disputing with the devil, did
not dare to bring a judgment of
blasphemy, but said, “May the Lord
rebuke you”.
10 But these ones— whatever things they
do not understand, they blaspheme; and
whatever things they know instinctually
like unreasoning animals, by these they
are being destroyed.
11 Woe to them, because they went in
the way of Cain, and they poured-forth in
the error of Balaam for wages, and they
perished in the rebellion of Korah.
Enoch Prophesied God Would Execute
Judgment Against These Ungodly Stains
12 These ones are the ones who are spots
in your love-feasts, feasting-with[ac] you
fearlessly, tending themselves; waterless
clouds being carried-along by winds;
fruitless autumn trees having died twice,
having been uprooted;
7 Like Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities
around them, who in a similar way
indulged in extreme sexual immorality
and pursued homosexual perversion, they
serve as an example of those who are
going to suffer the punishment of eternal
fire.
8 Yet, in the very same way, these
dreamers are defiling the flesh, despising
authority, and blaspheming glorious ones.
9 But when the archangel Michael was
disputing with the Devil and arguing
about the body of Moses, he did not dare
to bring a blasphemous condemnation
against him. Instead he said, “The Lord
rebuke you!”
10 But these people do not understand
what they are blaspheming. They are
being destroyed by the very things that
they know by instinct (like unreasoning
animals).
11 Woe to them! They have gone the way
of Cain. They have abandoned themselves
for hire to the error of Balaam. They
perished in Korah’s rebellion.
12 These people are filthy stains on[f]
your love feasts when they eat with you
without fear, shepherding themselves.
They are clouds without rain, being driven
along by the winds. They are autumn
trees without fruit, twice dead, pulled up
by the roots.
deprived by God of both light and liberty
until the judgment of the great day.
Sodom and Gomorrah and the adjacent
cities, who, in the same way as these men
today, gave themselves up to sexual
immorality and perversion, stand in their
punishment as a permanent warning of
the fire of judgment. Yet these men are
defiling their bodies by their filthy
fantasies in just the same way; they show
utter contempt for authority and make a
jest of the heavenly glories. But I would
remind you that even the archangel
Michael when he was contending with the
devil in the dispute over the body of
Moses did not dare to condemn him with
mockery. He simply said, the Lord rebuke
you!
10-11 These fellows, however, are ready
to mock at anything that is beyond their
immediate knowledge, while in the things
that they know by instinct like
unreasoning beasts they have become
utterly depraved. I say, Woe to them! For
they have taken the road of Cain; for what
they could get they have rushed into the
same error as Balaam; they have
destroyed themselves by rebelling against
God as did Korah long ago.
Be on your guard against these wicked
men
12-15 These men are a menace to the
good-fellowship of your feasts, for they
eat in your company without a qualm yet
they care for no one but themselves. They
are like clouds driven up by the wind, but
they bring no rain. They are like trees with
the leaves of autumn but without a single
fruit—they are doubly dead for they have
7 Likewise , Sodom and Gomorrah and
the neighboring towns , which indulged
in sexual immorality in the same way
as the angels and pursued unnatural
desire , are exhibited as an example by
undergoing the punishment of eternal
fire.
8 Yet in the same way these people also ,
relying on their dreams , defile the flesh ,
reject authority, and blaspheme the
glorious ones.
9 But when Michael the archangel , in
debate with the devil , was arguing about
the body of Moses , he did not presume
to condemn him for blasphemy , but said,
“The Lord rebuke you !”
10 But these people blaspheme whatever
they do not understand , and what they
do understand by instinct as irrational
beasts , by these they are being destroyed
11 Woe to them! For they take the way of
Cain , and abandon themselves to the
error of Balaam for the sake of gain , and
perish in the rebellion of Korah.
12 These people are blemishes on your
love-feasts , feasting with you without
reverence, caring only for themselves.
They are waterless clouds , swept along
by winds ; autumn trees without fruit and
uprooted—completely dead ;
13 wild waves of the sea , casting up their
shameful deeds like foam; wandering
stars for whom the gloom of utter
darkness has been reserved for
eternity.
7 Y Sodoma y Gomorra, junto con las ciudades
limítrofes entregadas como ellas a la lujuria y a
la homosexualidad, sufrieron el castigo de un
fuego perpetuo, sirviendo así de escarmiento a
los demás.
8 Pues, a pesar de todo, esos visionarios se
comportan de modo semejante: profanan su
cuerpo, rechazan la autoridad del Señor e
injurian a los seres gloriosos.
9 Distinto fue el proceder del arcángel Miguel
cuando disputaba al diablo el cuerpo de Moisés.
Ni siquiera se atrevió a lanzarle una acusación
injuriosa; simplemente dijo: “Que el Señor te
reprenda”.
10 Estos, por el contrario, ultrajan lo que
desconocen; y lo que conocen, a la manera
instintiva de las bestias irracionales, no les sirve
más que para la ruina.
11 ¡Ay de ellos! Han seguido las huellas de Caín,
se entregaron por dinero al extravío de Balaán y
sucumbieron en la rebelión de Coré.
12 ¡Ahí los tienen ustedes! Son los que
contaminan sus reuniones fraternales
banqueteando desvergonzadamente y
campando a sus anchas. Son nubes sin agua
arrastradas por el viento; árboles en otoño,
pero sin fruto, definitivamente secos,
arrancados de raíz.
13 Son olas de un mar embravecido, que arroja
la espuma de sus propias desvergüenzas;
estrellas fugaces, cuyo eterno destino es la
tiniebla sin fondo.

Jude New Matthew Bible (NMB)
He rebukes such persons as, being
blinded by their own lusts, resist the
truth; and so that we may know them
better, he describes them as such as sin
abominably against nature, despise
rulers, etc. He exhorts us to build one
another up, to pray in the Holy Spirit, to
continue in love, to look for the coming
of the Lord, and one to help another out
of the fire.
1 Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, the
brother of James.
To those who are called and sanctified in
God the Father and preserved in Jesus
Christ.
2 Mercy to you, and peace and love be
multiplied.
3 Beloveds, when I gave all diligence to
write to you of the common salvation, it
was needful for me to write to you, to
exhort you to labour continually in the
faith that was once and for all delivered to
the saints.
4 For there are certain men who have
craftily crept in, who were long ago
marked out for such judgment. They are
ungodly, and turn the grace of our God
into licentiousness, and deny God the only and only master, our Lord Jesus the
Lord, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
Jude New Testament for Everyone
(NTE)
Contend for the Faith
1 Judah, slave of Jesus the Messiah,
brother of James, to those who are called,
the people whom God loves and whom
Jesus, the Messiah, keeps safe!
2 May mercy, peace and love be
multiplied to you.
3 Beloved, I was doing my best to write to
you about the rescue in which we share,
but I found it necessary to write to you to
urge you to struggle hard for the faith
which was once and for all given to God’s
people.
4 Some people have sneaked in among
you, it seems, who long ago were marked
out for this condemnation – ungodly
people, who are transforming God’s grace
into licentiousness, and denying the one
Messiah.

Truth Worth Fighting For

Anointed One, and brother of James. I’m

in the love of Father God—kept and guarded
forJesus, the Messiah.
2 May God’s mercy, peace, and love cascade
over you
3 Dearly loved friend, I was fully intending to saved. But then I saw that I must write and
write to you about our amazing salvation we
all participate in, but felt the need instead to do believe. Fight against those who want to
challenge you to vigorously defend and
contend for the beliefs that we cherish. For
God, through the apostles, has once for all
entrusted these truths to his holy believers.
Warning against False Teachers

12 These are spots who of your kindness
feast together, without fear feeding
themselves. Clouds they are without
water, carried about by winds and trees
without fruit at gathering time, twice

13 They are the raging waves of the sea,
foaming out their own shame. They are
wandering stars, to whom is reserved the
mist of darkness forever.
14 Enoch, the seventh from Adam,
prophesied before of such persons,
saying, Behold, the Lord will come with
thousands of saints,
15 to give judgment against all men, and
to rebuke all that are ungodly among
them of all their ungodly deeds, which
they have ungodly committed, and of all
the hard words that ungodly sinners have
spoken against him.
16 These are murmurers, complainers,
walking after their own lusts, whose
mouths speak proud things. They have
others in great reverence for the sake of
advantage.
17 But you, beloveds, remember the
words that were spoken before by the
apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ,
18 how they told you that there would be
beguilers in the last time, who would walk
after their own ungodly lusts.

20 But you, dearly beloved, build
yourselves up in your most holy faith,
praying in the Holy Spirit,
21 and keep yourselves in the love of
God, looking for the mercy of our Lord
Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
22 And have compassion on some,
separating them;
23 and others save with fear, pulling them
out of the fire; and hate the spotted
vesture of the flesh.
24 Now to him who is able to keep you so
that you do not fall, and to present you
faultless before the presence of his glory
with joy –
25 that is to say, to God our Saviour, who
alone is wise – be glory, majesty,
dominion, and power, now and forever.
Amen.
Hereafter follows
the Apocalypse.
20 But you, beloved ones, build
yourselves up in your most holy faith.
Pray in the holy spirit.
21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, as by praying every moment in the Spirit.
you wait for our Lord Jesus the Messiah to
show you the mercy which leads to the
life of the age to come.
22 With some people who are wavering,
you must show mercy.
23 Some you must rescue, snatching them
from the fire. To others you must show
mercy, but with fear, hating even the
clothes that have been defiled by the
flesh.
24 Now to the one who is able to keep
you standing upright, and to present you
before his glory, undefiled and joyful –
25 to the one and only God, our saviour
through Jesus the Messiah our Lord, be
glory, majesty, power and authority
before all the ages, and now, and to all
the ages to come. Amen.
20 But you, my delightfully loved friends,
constantly and progressively build yourselves
up on the foundation of your most holy faith
21 Fasten your hearts to the love of God and
receive the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ,
who gives us eternal life.[ax]
22 Keep being compassionate to those who
still have doubts,
23 and snatch others out of the fire to save
them. Be merciful over and over to them, but
always couple your mercy with the fear of
God. Be extremely careful to keep yourselves
free from the pollutions of the flesh.
24 Now, to the one with enough power to
prevent you from stumbling into sin and bring
you faultless before his glorious presence to
stand before him with ecstatic delight,
25 to the only God our Savior, through our
Lord Jesus Christ, be endless glory and
majesty, great power and authority—from
before he created time, now, and throughout
all the ages of eternity. Amen!
20 But you, my dear brothers, must make
your lives better in the holy things you
believe. Talk to God in the Holy Spirit.
21 Keep yourselves in God's love. Wait for
our Lord Jesus Christ to come and help you.
He will give you life that will live for ever.
22 Some people are not sure what they
believe. Be kind to them by sharing in their
troubles.
23 Pull them out of the fire and save them.
There are other people to whom you must
be kind, but be careful about it. But you
must hate even the clothes that bad people
have worn.
24 God can keep you from doing anything
wrong. He can bring you to the place where
he is great and you will be all good. You will
be very happy.
25 He is the only God. And he is our Saviour
through our Lord Jesus Christ. He is great!
He is wonderful! He has power! He has the
right to rule! He was like that before time
began! He is like that now! And he will be
like that for ever. Yes, he will!
20 Ustedes, en cambio, amados míos,
hagan de una fe tan santa como la que
tienen, el firme cimiento de su vida; oren
impulsados por el Espíritu Santo
21 y manténganse en el amor de Dios,
esperando que la misericordia de
nuestro Señor Jesucristo los lleve a la
vida eterna.
22 Tengan compasión de los que vacilan,
23 contando con que a unos los salvarán
arrancándolos del fuego; pero a otros
sólo podrán compadecerlos, y eso con
cautela, evitando incluso el contacto
superficial con su torpe conducta.
Conclusión (24-25)
Doxología final
24 Al que puede mantenerlos limpios de
pecado y conducirlos alegres y sin
mancha hasta su gloriosa presencia,
25 al Dios único que es nuestro Salvador,
a él la gloria, la majestad, la soberanía y
el poder, por medio de nuestro Señor
Jesucristo, desde antes de todos los
tiempos, ahora y por los siglos sin fin.
Amén.
