Jude 1:5-7

Contend for the Faith, Keep Yourselves in God’s Love, and Rest in the God Who Keeps You

Jude moves from divine preservation and mercy, to the urgent call to contend for the apostolic faith, to examples of judgment against rebellion, to exposure of ungodly intruders, to the church’s call to persevere in love and mercy, and finally to a doxology celebrating the God who is able to keep his people from falling.

5Although you are fully aware of this, I want to remind you that after Jesus had delivered His people out of the land of Egypt, He destroyed those who did not believe.

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

7In like manner, Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them, who indulged in sexual immorality and pursued strange flesh, are on display as an example of those who sustain the punishment of eternal fire.
