EVEN AS SODOM AND GOMORRHA,
AND
THE CITIES ABOUT THEM IN LIKE MANNER, GIVING THEMSELVES OVER TO
FORNICATION, AND GOING AFTER STRANGE FLESH, ARE SET FORTH For AN
EXAMPLE, SUFFERING THE VENGEANCE OF ETERNAL FIRE. LIKEWISE ALSO THESE FILTHY DREAMERS DEFILE THE FLESH, DESPISE DOMINION, AND SPEAK EVIL OF DIGNITIES.
YET MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL, WHEN CONTENDING WITH THE DEVIL HE DISPUTED ABOUT THE Body OF MOSES, DURST NOT BRING AGAINST HIM A RAILING ACCUSATION, BUT SAID, THE LORD REBUKE THEE. BUT
THESE SPEAK EVIL OF THOSE THINGS WHICH THEY KNOW NOT: BUT WHAT THEY
KNOW NATURALLY, AS BRUTE BEASTS, IN THOSE THINGS THEY CORRUPT
THEMSELVES, WOE UNTO THEM! FOR THEY HAVE GONE IN THE WAY OF CAIN, AND RAN GREEDILY AFTER THE ERROR OF BALAAM FOR REWARD, AND PERISHED IN THE GAINSAYING OF CORE. THESE ARE SPOTS IN YOUR FEASTS OF CHARITY, WHEN THEY FEAST WITH YOU, FEEDING THEMSELVES WITHOUT Fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots; raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars,
to whom is reserved
the blackness of darkness for ever.
