FROM Jude, a servant of Jesus the Anointed, and brother of James: To those called and set apart by the Self-existent, and being watched over by Jesus the Anointed.

May mercy, peace and love be multiplied to you.

Dear friends, as I showed all seriousness in writing to you about the rescue from perdition we have all partaken of, it became necessary to write to you to exhort you to fight assiduously for the faith which was delivered to the saints once and for all.

The reason being that some people who have turned the grace of our God [the Self-existent] to lasciviousness, denying the only Sovereign God [the Self-existent] and our Master, Jesus the Anointed — a people pre-ordained for this condemnation — have infiltrated our ranks.

So, though you know this, I want to remind you of these things: After rescuing the people from Egypt, the Self-existent [the Holy Spirit] later destroyed those who did not believe.

Also, He [the Self-existent - the Holy Spirit] has kept those celestial-messengers who failed to treasure their position — who abandoned their posts — with chains that can never break, permanently, in darkness, for the judgment of the great day.

In like manner, Sodom, Gomorrah and the cities around them, who committed sexual immorality and practiced perversions, just as these celestial-messengers did, were made an example, undergoing the punishment of eternal fire.

These, who are deceiving themselves, dreaming that there is no judgment, in the same way, pollute their bodies, reject authorities and slander honorables,

whereas, even Michael, the Commander of celestial-messengers [the Holy Spirit – the Emissary of the Self-existent, and of Jesus], when He contended with the devil, disputing over the body of Moses, would not bring slanderous accusations against him, other than saying, “The Self-existent rebuke you!”

Despite knowing that, these men speak abusively against things they are ignorant of. Even what they know naturally, being unreasonable beasts, in them, they defile themselves.

They are in trouble! They have chosen the path of Cain. Like Balaam did, out of greed, they are desperate for remuneration; except they repent , they will perish in rebellion like Korah.

These are the ones who are like dangerous reefs at your love feasts; they don’t fear: They only feed themselves. They are waterless clouds carried along by winds; trees in the late autumn — fruitless, completely dead and uprooted;

unstable people, displaying their shameful deeds, wandering stars. Indefinite total darkness is awaiting them

as Enoch, the seventh ancestor from Adam prophesied: “See, the Master is coming with thousands of His holy ones [celestial-messengers]

to execute judgment on all and to convict the ungodly of their ungodly deeds that they have done in their impiety, and of all the harsh things that those ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.”

They are discontented grumblers, following their evil desires: Their mouths utter arrogant words, flattering people for their advantage.

You should, however, remember, dear friends, the words of the ambassadors of our Master, Jesus the Anointed, to you:

“In the end time, there will be scoffers who would be following their evil desires.”

Such people cause divisions; they are carnal — they do not have the spirit_û [breath] - the breath of the Holy Spirit.

So, you, dear friends, who are building yourselves up in your most sacred faith and praying with holy spirit [breath] - the breath of the Holy Spirit -

keep yourselves in the love of God [the Self-existent], expecting the mercy of our Master, Jesus the Anointed, for eternal life.

Have mercy on some who doubt; try to distinguish them .

With godly fear, rescue others — snatch them from the fire of hell — though hating garments stained by the flesh.

Now, to Him who is able to protect you from falling into sin and to make you stand in front of His Glory [Oracle] - the Self-existent, the Holy Spirit - blameless and with great joy –

to the only wise God [the Self-existent] our Savior, be honor, majesty, dominion and authority now and forever, through Jesus the Anointed, our Master. (So be it.)
