^aJude, the ^bservant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called:

 2 Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied.

 3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to ^awrite unto you of the common ^bsalvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should ^cearnestly ^dcontend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.

 4 For there are certain ^amen crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ^bungodly men, turning the grace of our God into ^clasciviousness, and ^ddenying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

 5 I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having ^asaved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward ^bdestroyed them that ^cbelieved not.

 6 And the ^aangels which kept not their ^bfirst ^cestate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the ^djudgment of the great day.
