“I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.                “You shall have no other gods before me.                “You shall not make for yourselves an idol, nor any image of anything that is in the heavens above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: you shall not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them, for I, Yahweh your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and on the fourth generation of those who hate me, and showing loving kindness to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.                “You shall not take the name of Yahweh your God in vain, for Yahweh will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.                “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. You shall labor six days, and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to Yahweh your God. You shall not do any work in it, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your livestock, nor your stranger who is within your gates; for in six days Yahweh made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day; therefore Yahweh blessed the Sabbath day, and made it holy.                “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land which Yahweh your God gives you.                “You shall not murder.                “You shall not commit adultery.                “You shall not steal.                “You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.                “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s.”

The Letter from Jude

{1:1} Jude,[1] a servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to those who are called, sanctified by God the Father, and kept for Jesus Christ: {1:2} Mercy to you and peace and love be multiplied.

{1:3} Beloved, while I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I was constrained to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints. {1:4} For there are certain men who crept in secretly, even those who were long ago written about for this condemnation: ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into indecency, and denying our only Master, God, and Lord, Jesus Christ.

{1:5} Now I desire to remind you, though you already know this, that the Lord, having saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who didn't believe. {1:6} Angels who didn't keep their first domain, but deserted their own dwelling place, he has kept in everlasting bonds under darkness for the judgment of the great day. {1:7} Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them, having, in the same way as these, given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the punishment of eternal fire. {1:8} Yet in the same way, these also in their dreaming defile the flesh, despise authority, and slander celestial beings. {1:9} But Michael, the archangel, when contending with the devil and arguing about the body of Moses, dared not bring against him an abusive condemnation, but said, "May the Lord rebuke you!" {1:10} But these speak evil of whatever things they don't know. What they understand naturally, like the creatures without reason, they are destroyed in these things. {1:11} Woe to them! For they went in the way of Cain, and ran riotously in the error of Balaam for hire, and perished in Korah's rebellion. {1:12} These are hidden rocky reefs in your love feasts when they feast with you, shepherds who without fear feed themselves; clouds without water, carried along by winds; autumn leaves without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots; {1:13} wild waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, for whom the blackness of darkness has been reserved forever. {1:14} About these also Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying, "Behold, the Lord came with ten thousands of his holy ones, {1:15} to execute judgment on all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their works of ungodliness which they have done in an ungodly way, and of all the hard things which ungodly sinners have spoken against him." {1:16} These are murmurers and complainers, walking after their lusts (and their mouth speaks proud things), showing respect of persons to gain advantage.

{1:17} But you, beloved, remember the words which have been spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ. {1:18} They said to you that "In the last time there will be mockers, walking after their own ungodly lusts." {1:19} These are they who cause divisions, and are sensual, not having the Spirit. {1:20} But you, beloved, keep building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit. {1:21} Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life. {1:22} On some have compassion, making a distinction, {1:23} and some save, snatching them out of the fire with fear, hating even the clothing stained by the flesh.

{1:24} Now to him who is able to keep them[2] from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory in great joy, {1:25} to God our Savior, who alone is wise, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever. Amen.
