4 For certain people have ^ecrept in unnoticed who ^flong ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into ^gsensuality and ^hdeny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.

5 Now I want to remind you, although you once fully knew it, that Jesus, ⁱwho saved¹ a people out of the land of Egypt, ^jafterward destroyed ^kthose who did not believe. 6 ^lAnd the angels who did not stay within their own position of authority, but left their proper dwelling, he has kept in eternal chains under gloomy darkness until the judgment of the great day— 7 ^mjust as Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, which likewise ⁿindulged in sexual immorality and pursued ^ounnatural desire,² serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire.

11 Woe to them! For they walked in ^xthe way of Cain and abandoned themselves for the sake of gain to ^yBalaam’s ^zerror and perished in ^aKorah’s rebellion.

14 It was also about these that ^fEnoch, ^gthe seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying, “Behold, the Lord comes with ^hten thousands of his holy ones, 15 to execute judgment on all and to convict all the ungodly of all their deeds of ungodliness that they have committed in such an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things that ungodly sinners have spoken against him.”
