Jude 4-6
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
4 For certain persons sneaked-in[a]— the ones formerly[b] having been portrayed[c] for this judgment, ungodly ones— changing[d] the grace of our God into sensuality and denying our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.
Remember: The Lord Punished The Unbelieving And The Immoral
5 Now I want to remind you— you knowing[e] all things— that the Lord[f], having once[g] saved[h] the people out of the land of Egypt, afterwards destroyed the ones not having believed. 6 And He has kept[i] angels— the ones not having kept their own domain[j], but having left-behind[k] their own dwelling[l]— in eternal bonds[m] under gloom for the judgment of the great day.
