    4For certain people have secretly slipped in among you—those who were written about long ago as being destined for this condemnation. They are ungodly, turning the grace of our God into a license for immorality and denying our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.

    5Now I want to remind you, although you already know all this, that the Lord, having saved a people out of the land of Egypt, later destroyed those who did not believe.

    6And the angels who did not stay within their proper domain but abandoned their dwelling, He has kept in eternal chains under darkness for the judgment on the great day.

    7In the same way, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, which likewise indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural desires, serve as an example by undergoing the punishment of eternal fire.

    8In the same way, these people also, relying on their dreams, defile their flesh, reject authority, and blaspheme glorious beings.

    9But Michael the archangel, when he disputed with the devil and argued about the body of Moses, did not dare to pronounce a blasphemous judgment, but said, 'The Lord rebuke you!'

    5and if He did not spare the ancient world but preserved Noah, a preacher of righteousness, along with seven others when He brought the flood on the ungodly world,

    6and if He condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to destruction by reducing them to ashes and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly,

    7and if He rescued righteous Lot, who was distressed by the depraved conduct of the lawless,

    8(For that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard.)

    9then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials and to keep the unrighteous under punishment for the day of judgment,

    10especially those who follow the corrupt desires of the flesh and despise authority. They are bold and arrogant, and they are unafraid to slander celestial beings.

    11Yet even angels, who are greater in strength and power, do not bring a slanderous judgment against such beings before the Lord.

    12These people, however, are like irrational animals, creatures of instinct, born to be caught and destroyed. They speak abusively about things they do not understand, and in their destruction, they too will be destroyed.
