Judah 1

¹Y’hudah [Praised] , the slave of Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah] , and brother of Ya’akov [heal-grabber] , to them that are sanctified by God-The Father the Father, and preserved in Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah] , [and] called:

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

³Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort [you] that you2f should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.

⁴For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God-The Father into lasciviousness (being lustful, loose or lewd; promoting lustful desires in others) , and denying the only Lord - Kurios God-The Father, and our Lord - Kurios [he to whom a person belongs] Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah] .

⁵I will therefore put you in remembrance, though you2f once knew this, how that the Lord - Kurios, having saved the people out of the land of Mitzrayim (Egypt) [the black land, The Narrow Place] , afterward destroyed them that believed not.

⁶And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.

⁷Even as S’dom [Burning] and ‘Amorah [a ruined heap] , and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

⁸Likewise also these [filthy] dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.

⁹Yet Mikha’el [Who is Like God?] the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters] , dared (was bold enough) not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord - Kurios rebuke (reprimand; strongly warn; restrain) youi .

¹⁰But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.

¹¹Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Kayin [something produced, spear] , and ran greedily after the error of Bil’am [Not of the People] for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.

¹²These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds [they are] without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withers, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;

¹³Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever.

¹⁴And Hanokh (trained and vowed, dedicated; profound (go deep into something)) also, the seventh from Adam (Man, ground; red; earthling), prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord - Kurios comes with ten thousands of his saints,

¹⁵To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard [speeches] which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.

¹⁶These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaks great swelling [words] , having men’s persons in admiration because of advantage.

¹⁷But, beloved, remember you2f the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord - Kurios [he to whom a person belongs] Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah] ;

¹⁸How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.

¹⁹These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit [Ruach] .

²⁰But you2f , beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit [Ruach HaKodesh] ,

²¹Keep yourselves in the love of God-The Father, looking for the mercy of our Lord - Kurios [he to whom a person belongs] Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah] unto eternal life.

²²And of some have compassion, making a difference:

²³And others save with fear, pulling [them] out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.

²⁴Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present [you] faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,

²⁵To the only wise God-The Father our Saviour, [be] glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.
