Jude 1 - Contemporary English Version Interconfessional Edition（CEVDCI）

1 who didn't do their work and left their proper places. God chained them with everlasting chains and is now keeping them in dark pits until the great day of judgment.

7 and the nearby towns. Their people became immoral and committed all sorts of sexual sins. Then God made an example of them and punished them with eternal fire.

8The people I am talking about are behaving just like those dreamers who destroyed their own bodies. They reject all authority and insult angels.

9 All Michael said was, “The Lord will punish you!”

10But these people insult powers they don't know anything about. They are like senseless animals that end up getting destroyed, because they live only by their feelings.

11 and have made the same mistake that Balaam did by caring only for money. They have also rebelled against God, just as Korah did. Because of all this, they will be destroyed.

12These people are filthy minded, and by their shameful and selfish actions they spoil the meals you eat together. They are like clouds blown along by the wind, but never bringing any rain. They are like leafless trees, uprooted and dead, and unable to produce fruit.

13Their shameful deeds show up like foam on wild ocean waves. They are like wandering stars forever doomed to the darkest pits of hell.

14 all who may have doubts.

23Rescue any who need to be saved, as you would rescue someone from a fire. Then with fear in your own hearts, have mercy on everyone who needs it. But hate even the clothes of those who have been made dirty by their filthy deeds.
