Jude 5-7
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
Remember: The Lord Punished The Unbelieving And The Immoral
5 Now I want to remind you— you knowing[a] all things— that the Lord[b], having once[c] saved[d] the people out of the land of Egypt, afterwards destroyed the ones not having believed. 6 And He has kept[e] angels— the ones not having kept their own domain[f], but having left-behind[g] their own dwelling[h]— in eternal bonds[i] under gloom for the judgment of the great day. 7 Just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them in like manner to these[j]— having indulged-in-sexual-immorality and gone after other flesh— are set-forth as an example, undergoing the penalty[k] of eternal fire.
