12 These are hidden reefs 3 c at your love feasts, as they feast with you without fear, d shepherds feeding themselves e waterless clouds, f swept along by winds fruitless trees in late autumn, twice dead, g uprooted 13 h wild waves of the sea, casting up the foam of i their own shame j wandering stars, k for whom the gloom of utter darkness has been reserved forever. 11 Woe to them ! For they walked in z the way of Cain and abandoned themselves for the sake of gain a to Balaam’s error and b perished in Korah’s rebellion. ” 10 y But these people blaspheme all that they do not understand, and they are destroyed by all that they, like unreasoning animals, understand instinctively. 9 But when u the archangel v Michael, contending with the devil, was disputing w about the body of Moses, he did not presume to pronounce a blasphemous judgment, but said, x “ The Lord rebuke you. Ĩ Yet in like manner these people also, relying on their dreams, defile the flesh, reject authority, and t blaspheme the glorious ones. 6 And p 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 just as q Sodom and Gomorrah and r the surrounding cities, which likewise indulged in sexual immorality and s pursued unnatural desire, 2 serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire. ĥ Now I want m to remind you, although you once fully knew it, that n Jesus, who saved 1 a people out of the land of Egypt, o afterward destroyed those who did not believe. 4 For h certain people i have crept in unnoticed j who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly people, who pervert k the grace of our God into sensuality and l deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ. ’ ”ģ Beloved, although I was very eager to write to you about our f common salvation, I found it necessary to write appealing to you g to contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints. ’ 31 He said to him, ‘ If they do not hear q Moses and the Prophets, t neither will they be convinced if someone should rise from the dead. ’ 30 And he said, ‘ No, s father Abraham, but if someone goes to them from the dead, they will repent. ’ 29 But Abraham said, ‘ They have q Moses and the Prophets r let them hear them. ’ 27 And he said, ‘ Then I beg you, father, to send him to my father’s house - 28 for I have five brothers - so that he may warn them, lest they also come into this place of torment. 26 And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, in order that those who would pass from here to you may not be able, and none may cross from there to us. ’ 25 But Abraham said, ‘ Child, remember that p you in your lifetime received your good things, and Lazarus in like manner bad things but now he is comforted here, and you are in anguish. 24 And he called out, m ‘ Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus to dip the end of his finger in water and n cool my tongue, for o I am in anguish in this flame. 1 The rich man also died and was buried, 23 and in k Hades, being in torment, he lifted up his eyes and l saw Abraham far off and Lazarus j at his side. 22 The poor man died and was carried by i the angels j to Abraham’s side. Moreover, even the dogs came and licked his sores. 20 And at his gate g was laid a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, 21 who desired to be fed with h what fell from the rich man’s table. ’ġ9 “ There was a rich man who was clothed in e purple and fine linen and f who feasted sumptuously every day. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than with two eyes to be thrown into s hell, 48 ‘ where t their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched. 47 r And if your eye causes you to sin, tear it out. It is better for you to enter life lame than with two feet to be thrown into o hell. 3 45 q And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life crippled than with two hands to go to o hell, 2 to p the unquenchable fire. 43 n And if your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. ”Ĥ2 k “ Whoever causes one of l these little ones who believe in me to sin, 1 m it would be better for him if a great millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea. In that place r there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 11 I tell you, o many will come from east and west and recline at table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven, 12 p while the sons of the kingdom q will be thrown into the outer darkness.
