1:1

Ιουδας Ιησου Χριστου δουλος αδελφος δε Ιακωβου Τοις εν Θεω Πατρι ηγαπημενοις και Ιησου Χριστω τετηρημενοις κλητοις

Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are called, beloved in God the Father, and kept for Jesus Christ:

1:2

Ελεος υμιν και ειρηνη και αγαπη πληθυνθειη

Mercy unto you and peace and love be multiplied.

1:3

Αγαπητοι πασαν σπουδην ποιουμενος γραφειν υμιν περι της κοινης ημων σωτηριας αναγκην εσχον γραψαι υμιν παρακαλων επαγωνιζεσθαι τη απαξ παραδοθειση τοις αγιοις πιστει

Beloved, while I was giving all diligence to write unto you of our common salvation, I was constrained to write unto you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered unto the saints.

1:4

παρεισεδυσαν γαρ τινες ανθρωποι οι παλαι προγεγραμμενοι εις τουτο το κριμα ασεβεις την του Θεου ημων χαριτα μετατιθεντες εις ασελγειαν και τον μονον Δεσποτην και Κυριον ημων Ιησουν Χριστον αρνουμενοι

For there are certain men crept in privily, even they who were of old written of beforehand unto this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.

1:5

Υπομνησαι δε υμας βουλομαι ειδοτας υμας απαξ παντα οτι Ιησους λαον εκ γης Αιγυπτου σωσας το δευτερον τους μη πιστευσαντας απωλεσεν

Now I desire to put you in remembrance, though ye know all things once for all, that the Lord, having saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.

1:6

αγγελους τε τους μη τηρησαντας την εαυτων αρχην αλλα απολιποντας το ιδιον οικητηριον εις κρισιν μεγαλης ημερας δεσμοις αιδιοις υπο ζοφον τετηρηκεν

And angels that kept not their own principality, but left their proper habitation, he hath kept in everlasting bonds under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.

1:7

ως Σοδομα και Γομορρα και αι περι αυτας πολεις τον ομοιον τροπον τουτοις εκπορνευσασαι και απελθουσαι οπισω σαρκος ετερας προκεινται δειγμα πυρος αιωνιου δικην υπεχουσαι

Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them, having in like manner with these given themselves over to fornication and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the punishment of eternal fire.

1:8

Ομοιως μεντοι και ουτοι ενυπνιαζομενοι σαρκα μεν μιαινουσιν κυριοτητα δε αθετουσιν δοξας δε βλασφημουσιν

Yet in like manner these also in their dreamings defile the flesh, and set at nought dominion, and rail at dignities.

1:9

ο δε Μιχαηλ ο αρχαγγελος οτε τω διαβολω διακρινομενος διελεγετο περι του Μωυσεως σωματος ουκ ετολμησεν κρισιν επενεγκειν βλασφημιας αλλα ειπεν Επιτιμησαι σοι Κυριος

But Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing judgment, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.

1:10

ουτοι δε οσα μεν ουκ οιδασιν βλασφημουσιν οσα δε φυσικως ως τα αλογα ζωα επιστανται εν τουτοις φθειρονται

But these rail at whatsoever things they know not: and what they understand naturally, like the creatures without reason, in these things are they destroyed.

1:11

ουαι αυτοις οτι τη οδω του Καιν επορευθησαν και τη πλανη του Βαλααμ μισθου εξεχυθησαν και τη αντιλογια του Κορε απωλοντο

Woe unto them! for they went in the way of Cain, and ran riotously in the error of Balaam for hire, and perished in the gainsaying of Korah.

1:12

Ουτοι εισιν οι εν ταις αγαπαις υμων σπιλαδες συνευωχουμενοι αφοβως εαυτους ποιμαινοντες νεφελαι ανυδροι υπο ανεμων παραφερομεναι δενδρα φθινοπωρινα ακαρπα δις αποθανοντα εκριζωθεντα

These are they who are hidden rocks in your love-feasts when they feast with you, shepherds that without fear feed themselves; clouds without water, carried along by winds; autumn trees without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;

1:13

κυματα αγρια θαλασσης επαφριζοντα τας εαυτων αισχυνας αστερες πλανηται οις ο ζοφος του σκοτους εις αιωνα τετηρηται

wild waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, for whom the blackness of darkness hath been reserved for ever.

1:14

Προεφητευσεν δε και τουτοις εβδομος απο Αδαμ Ενωχ λεγων Ιδου ηλθεν Κυριος εν αγιαις μυριασιν αυτου

And to these also Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying, Behold, the Lord came with ten thousands of his holy ones,

1:15

ποιησαι κρισιν κατα παντων και ελεγξαι πασαν ψυχην περι παντων των εργων ασεβειας αυτων ων ησεβησαν και περι παντων των σκληρων ων ελαλησαν κατ αυτου αμαρτωλοι ασεβεις

to execute judgment upon all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their works of ungodliness which they have ungodly wrought, and of all the hard things which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.

1:16

Ουτοι εισιν γογγυσται μεμψιμοιροι κατα τας επιθυμιας αυτων πορευομενοι και το στομα αυτων λαλει υπερογκα θαυμαζοντες προσωπα ωφελειας χαριν

These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their lusts (and their mouth speaketh great swelling words), showing respect of persons for the sake of advantage.

1:17

Υμεις δε αγαπητοι μνησθητε των ρηματων των προειρημενων υπο των αποστολων του Κυριου ημων Ιησου Χριστου

But ye, beloved, remember ye the words which have been spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;

1:18

οτι ελεγον υμιν Επ εσχατου χρονου εσονται εμπαικται κατα τας εαυτων επιθυμιας πορευομενοι των ασεβειων

that they said to you, In the last time there shall be mockers, walking after their own ungodly lusts.

1:19

Ουτοι εισιν οι αποδιοριζοντες ψυχικοι Πνευμα μη εχοντες

These are they who make separations, sensual, having not the Spirit.

1:20

Υμεις δε αγαπητοι εποικοδομουντες εαυτους τη αγιωτατη υμων πιστει εν Πνευματι Αγιω προσευχομενοι

But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit,

1:21

εαυτους εν αγαπη Θεου τηρησατε προσδεχομενοι το ελεος του Κυριου ημων Ιησου Χριστου εις ζωην αιωνιον

keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

1:22

Και ους μεν ελεατε διακρινομενους

And on some have mercy, who are in doubt;

1:23

ους δε σωζετε εκ πυρος αρπαζοντες ους δε ελεατε εν φοβω μισουντες και τον απο της σαρκος εσπιλωμενον χιτωνα

and some save, snatching them out of the fire; and on some have mercy with fear; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.

1:24

Τω δε δυναμενω φυλαξαι υμας απταιστους και στησαι κατενωπιον της δοξης αυτου αμωμους εν αγαλλιασει

Now unto him that is able to guard you from stumbling, and to set you before the presence of his glory without blemish in exceeding joy,

1:25

μονω Θεω Σωτηρι ημων δια Ιησου Χριστου του Κυριου ημων δοξα μεγαλωσυνη κρατος και εξουσια προ παντος του αιωνος και νυν και εις παντας τους αιωνας Αμην

to the only God our Saviour, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and power, before all time, and now, and for evermore. Amen.
