This document is a summary of Jude, a book of the Bible, contending against false teachers. It warns of certain people who have secretly crept in and lead others astray. It describes how God destroyed those in the past who did not believe, like the Egyptians, fallen angels, Sodom and Gomorrah. False teachers are sensual people who cause divisions and do not have God's spirit. True believers are called to build themselves up in faith, pray to God, and await Jesus' return to judge ungodly deeds.

his subtlety, so your
minds should be
corrupted from the
simplicity that is in
Christ.- 2 Corinthians
11:2-3

saints.- Jude 1:3

the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel
unto honor, and another unto dishonor?

destruction: And that he might make known
the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy,
which he had afore prepared unto glory,
- Romans 9:21-23

our examples, to the intent we should not lust
after evil things, as they also lusted. Neither be
ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is
written, The people sat down to eat and drink,

fell in one day three and twenty thousand.

also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.
- 1 Corinthians 10:6-9

flesh"; meaning not other
women besides their own wives,

detestable and unnatural sin,
which, from these people, is
called sodomy to this day; and
which is an exceeding great sin,
contrary to the light of nature
and law of God, dishonorable to
human nature, and scandalous
to a nation and people, and
