rehand to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the
grace of our God into wantonness, and denying the only Master, and our
Lord Jesus Christ.

(5)But I wish to remind you, as once knowing all, that Jesus, having
saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those
who believed not. (6)And angels who kept not their principality, but
left their own habitation, he has kept in everlasting chains under
darkness, unto the judgment of the great day. (7)As Sodom and
Gomorrah, and the cities about them, in like manner with them giving
themselves over to fornication, and going away after other flesh, are
set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

(8)Yet, in like manner, these also in their dreamings defile the

ungodly sinners spoke against him.

(16)These are murmurers, complaining of their lot, walking according
to their lusts; and their mouth speaks swelling words; having respect
to persons, for the sake of profit.

(17)But ye, beloved, remember the words which were before spoken by
the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; (18)that they told you, that at
the last of the time there will be scoffers, walking after their own
lusts of ungodliness. (19)These are they who separate; sensual, having
not the Spirit. (20)But ye, beloved, building up yoursel
