1 Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to those who are called, sanctified by God the Father, and kept for Jesus Christ: 2 May mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you.
3 Beloved, while I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I was constrained to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints. 4 For there are certain men who crept in secretly, even those who were long ago written about for this condemnation: ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into indecency, and denying our only Master, God, and Lord, Jesus Christ.
5 Now I desire to remind you, though you already know this, that the Lord, having saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who didn’t believe. 6 Angels who didn’t keep their first domain, but deserted their own dwelling place, he has kept in everlasting bonds under darkness for the judgment of the great day. 7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them, having in the same way as these given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are shown as an example, suffering the punishment of eternal fire. 8 Yet in the same way, these also in their dreaming defile the flesh, despise authority, and slander celestial beings. 9 But Michael, the archangel, when contending with the devil and arguing about the body of Moses, dared not bring against him an abusive condemnation, but said, "May the Lord rebuke you!" 10 But these speak evil of whatever things they don’t know. They are destroyed in these things that they understand naturally, like the creatures without reason. 11 Woe to them! For they went in the way of Cain, and ran riotously in the error of Balaam for hire, and perished in Korah’s rebellion. 12 These are hidden rocky reefs in your love feasts when they feast with you, shepherds who without fear feed themselves; clouds without water, carried along by winds; autumn trees without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots; 13 wild waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, for whom the blackness of darkness has been reserved forever. 14 About these also Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying, "Behold, the Lord came with ten thousands of his holy ones, 15 to execute judgment on all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their works of ungodliness which they have done in an ungodly way, and of all the hard things which ungodly sinners have spoken against him." 16 These are murmurers and complainers, walking after their lusts—and their mouth speaks proud things—showing respect of persons to gain advantage.
17 But you, beloved, remember the words which have been spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ. 18 They said to you, "In the last time there will be mockers, walking after their own ungodly lusts." 19 These are those who cause divisions and are sensual, not having the Spirit.
20 But you, beloved, keep building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit. 21 Keep yourselves in God’s love, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life. 22 On some have compassion, making a distinction, 23 and some save, snatching them out of the fire with fear, hating even the clothing stained by the flesh.
24 Now to him who is able to keep them from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory in great joy, 25 to God our Savior, who alone is wise, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever. Amen.
1 耶稣基督的仆人， 雅各的兄弟犹大， 写信给那些被召的人， 就是在父 神里蒙爱， 并且为了耶稣基督而蒙保守的人。
2 愿怜悯、平安、慈爱多多加给你们。
3 亲爱的， 我曾经迫切地想写信给你们， 论到我们共享的救恩； 现在我更觉得必须写信劝勉你们， 要竭力维护从前一次就全交给了圣徒的信仰，
4 因为有人已经混进你们中间， 他们就是早被判定受刑的不敬虔的人。这些人把我们 神的恩典当作放纵情欲的借口， 并且否认独一的主宰我们的主耶稣基督。
5 虽然这一切事情你们都早已知道， 我仍然要提醒你们： 从前主从埃及地把人民救出来， 跟着就把那些不信的人除灭了。
6 还有， 那不守本位擅离自己居所的天使， 主用永远的锁链把他们拘留在黑暗里， 直到那大日子的审判。
7 又像所多玛、蛾摩拉和周围城市的人， 与他们一样的淫乱， 随从反常的情欲， 以致遭受永火的刑罚， 成了后世的鉴戒。
8 虽然是这样， 这些醉生梦死的人还是照样玷污身体， 藐视主权， 毁谤尊荣。
9 天使长米迦勒为了摩西的尸体与魔鬼争论的时候， 还不敢用毁谤的话定他的罪， 只说： "主责备你！ "
10 但这些人毁谤他们所不知道的， 他们只知道按本性所能领悟的事， 好像没有理性的禽兽， 就因这些事败坏了自己。
11 他们有祸了， 因为他们走上了该隐的道路， 又为了财利闯进巴兰的歧途， 并且在可拉的背叛中灭亡了。
12 这些人胆敢与你们同席， 他们只顾喂饱自己， 是你们爱筵中的暗礁； 是无雨的浮云， 随风飘荡； 是秋天不结果子的树， 连根拔起， 死而又死；
13 是海中的狂浪， 溅起了自己可耻的泡沫； 是流荡的星， 有漆黑的幽暗永远为他们存留。
14 亚当的第七世孙以诺， 也曾经预言这些人说： "看， 主必同他的千万圣者降临，
15 要审判众人， 又要定所有不敬虔的人的罪， 因为他们妄行各样不敬虔的事， 并且说了种种刚愎的话顶撞 神。"
16 这些人常发牢骚， 怨天尤人， 顺着自己的私欲行事， 口说夸张的话， 为了利益就不惜阿谀奉承。
17 但你们呢， 亲爱的， 你们要记住我们主耶稣基督的使徒从前所说的话。
18 他们曾经对你们说： "末世必有好讥笑人的人， 随着自己不敬虔的私欲行事。"
19 这些人分党结派， 是属血气的， 没有圣灵。
20 但你们呢， 亲爱的， 你们要在至圣的信仰上建立自己， 在圣灵里祷告，
21 要保守自己在 神的爱中， 仰望我们主耶稣基督的怜悯， 直到永生。
22 有些人心里疑惑， 你们要怜悯他们；
23 有些人你们要拯救， 把他们从火中抢救出来； 又有些人你们要战战兢兢地怜悯他们， 连染上情欲污渍的衣服也应当憎恶。
24 愿荣耀、威严、能力、权柄， 借着我们的主耶稣基督， 从万世以前， 及现在， 直到永永远远， 归给独一的 神我们的救主。他能保守你们不至跌倒， 使你们毫无瑕疵， 欣然站在他荣光之前。阿们。
