Unchecked Copy BoxJde 1:5 -

Now I want to remind you, though you know all things, that [fn]Jesus, having once saved a people out of the land of Egypt, [fn]subsequently destroyed those who did not believe.

Unchecked Copy BoxJde 1:6 - And angels who did not keep their own domain, but abandoned their proper abode, He has kept in eternal bonds under darkness for the judgment of the great day,

Unchecked Copy BoxJde 1:12 - These are the men who are [fn]hidden reefs in your love feasts when they feast with you without fear, caring for themselves; clouds without water, carried along by winds; autumn trees without fruit, [fn]doubly dead, uprooted;
Unchecked Copy BoxJde 1:13 - wild waves of the sea, casting up their own [fn]shame like foam; wandering stars, for whom the [fn]black darkness has been reserved forever.
Unchecked Copy BoxJde 1:14 -

But Enoch, in the seventh generation from Adam, also prophesied about these men, saying, “Behold, the Lord came with [fn]many thousands of His holy ones,

Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy,
