Jude 11-25

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹¹ Woe unto them, for they have gone in the way of Cain: and after the error of Balaam they have for reward poured out themselves, and have perished in the contradiction of Core.

¹² These are spots in their banquets, feasting together without fear, feeding themselves, clouds without water, which are carried about by winds, trees of the autumn, unfruitful, twice dead, plucked up by the roots,

¹³ Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own confusion; wandering stars, to whom the storm of darkness is reserved for ever.

¹⁴ Now of these Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying: Behold, the Lord cometh with thousands of his saints,

¹⁵ To execute judgment upon all, and to reprove all the ungodly for all the works of their ungodliness, whereby they have done ungodly, and of all the hard things which ungodly sinners have spoken against God.

¹⁶ These are murmurers, full of complaints, walking according to their own desires, and their mouth speaketh proud things, admiring persons for gain's sake.

¹⁷ But you, my dearly beloved, be mindful of the words which have been spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ,

¹⁸ Who told you, that in the last time there should come mockers, walking according to their own desires in ungodlinesses.

¹⁹ These are they, who separate themselves, sensual men, having not the Spirit.

²⁰ But you, my beloved, building yourselves upon your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,

²¹ Keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, unto life everlasting.

²² And some indeed reprove, being judged:

²³ But others save, pulling them out of the fire. And on others have mercy, in fear, hating also the spotted garment which is carnal.

²⁴ Now to him who is able to preserve you without sin, and to present you spotless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, in the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ,

²⁵ To the only God our Saviour through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory and magnificence, empire and power, before all ages, and now, and for all ages of ages. Amen.
