Jude—New American Standard Bible (NASB)

  1. [a]1Jude, a 2bond-servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of [b]James,
    ¶ To 3those who are the called, beloved in God the Father, and 4kept for Jesus Christ:
  2. 5May mercy and peace and love 6be multiplied to you.
  3. 7Beloved, while I was making every effort to write you about our 8common salvation, I felt the necessity to write to you appealing that you 9contend earnestly for 10the faith which was once for all 11handed down to 12the [c]saints.
  4. For certain persons have 13crept in unnoticed, those who were long beforehand [d]14marked out for this condemnation, ungodly persons who turn 15the grace of our God into 16licentiousness and 17deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.
  5. ¶ Now I desire to 18remind you, though 19you know all things once for all, that [e]the Lord, 20after saving a people out of the land of Egypt, [f]subsequently destroyed those who did not believe.
  6. And 21angels who did not keep their own domain, but abandoned their proper abode, He has 22kept in eternal bonds under darkness for the judgment of the great day,
  7. just as 23Sodom and Gomorrah and the 24cities around them, since they in the same way as these indulged in gross immorality and 25went after [g]strange flesh, are exhibited as an [h]26example in undergoing the 27punishment of eternal fire.
  8. ¶ Yet in the same way these men, also by dreaming, 28defile the flesh, and reject authority, and revile [i]angelic majesties.
  9. But 29Michael 30the archangel, when he disputed with the devil and argued about 31the body of Moses, did not dare pronounce against him a railing judgment, but said, “32The Lord rebuke you!”
  10. But 33these men revile the things which they do not understand; and 34the things which they know by instinct, 35like unreasoning animals, by these things they are [j]destroyed.
  11. Woe to them! For they have gone 36the way of Cain, and for pay [k]they have rushed headlong into 37the error of Balaam, and 38perished in the rebellion of Korah.
  12. These are the men who are [l]hidden reefs 39in your love feasts when they feast with you 40without fear, caring for themselves; 41clouds without water, 42carried along by winds; autumn trees without fruit, [m]doubly dead, 43uprooted;
  13. 44wild waves of the sea, casting up 45their own [n]shame like foam; wandering stars, 46for whom the [o]black darkness has been reserved forever.
  14. It was also about these men that 47Enoch, in the seventh generation from Adam, prophesied, saying, “48Behold, the Lord came with [p]many thousands of His holy ones,
  15. 49to execute judgment upon all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their ungodly deeds which they have done in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which 50ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.”
  16. These are 51grumblers, finding fault, 52following after their own lusts; [q]they speak 53arrogantly, flattering people 54for the sake of gaining an advantage.
  17. ¶ But you, 55beloved, 56ought to remember the words that were spoken beforehand by 57the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ,
  18. that they were saying to you, “58In the last time there will be mockers, 59following after their own ungodly lusts.”
  19. These are the ones who cause divisions, [r]60worldly-minded, [s]devoid of the Spirit.
  20. But you, 61beloved, 62building yourselves up on your most holy 63faith, 64praying in the Holy Spirit,
  21. keep yourselves in the love of God, 65waiting anxiously for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life.
  22. And have mercy on some, who are doubting;
  23. save others, 66snatching them out of the fire; and on some have mercy with fear, 67hating even the garment polluted by the flesh.
  24. 68Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to 69make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with 70great joy,
  25. to the 71only 72God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, 73be glory, majesty, dominion and authority, 74before all time and now and [t]forever. Amen.

    The NWT adds words to the text that are not in the greek Manuscripts to fit it's own doctrinal position for example

    Compare the wording of the NWT and the NKJV at Colossians 1:15-17

    NKJV says

    15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.

    NWT says

    15 He is the image of the invisible God,the firstborn OF all creation;16 because by means of him all OTHER things were created in the heavens and on the earth, the things visible and the things invisible,whether they are thrones or lordships or governments or authorities. All OTHER things have been created through him and for him. 17 Also, he is before all OTHER things,and by means of him all OTHER things were made to exist,

    The word “other” is not in the Greek but they add it Why? So they can decieve their followers into thinking that Christ was created by the Father and that he then created other things, that is not what the Greek says.

      Truth is from God and those that follow him. As for lies? John8:44

      Kiamia, I noticed you used a modern version of kjv to make your point about the nwt.

      Why didn’t you use the original kjv of col1:15?

      Is it because it disproves your point? It proves the opposite of what you wrote?

      Here is kjv col1:15 ¶” Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn OF every creature:“

      Now I appeal to your Christian nature to correct your mistake as God is watching each of us, and let us bless the God of Jesus his father.

      Kjv 1Pe 1:3  Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ….

    Joshua, Jehovah’s Witnesses have never denied the deity of the Messiah in his prehuman existence. While on Earth he was fully 100% human. I do not mean he was a mere human, he was not affected by Adam’s unfaithful behavior, he was sinless.

    When i do read some comments and seeing that its the same people that are supposed to be called believers but are talking ill of other denominations, it hurts. Let us all remember that We should judge not

      The bible tells us to test the spirits. Satan disguises himself as angel of light. So yes some denomination are not teaching the truth. You are responsible for judging which ones are not. You have to judge the truth at all times. this is what the bible teaches

    The NWT is a very good translation. Dr. Jason David BeDuhn PhD attests to that in his book Truth in Translation. drive.google.com/...5p16melHzg8/view

      The NWT is Satanic filth to its very core.

      The JW Cult is Satanic to its very core.

      Praise Yahweh I will never be a victim of JW brainwashing. If I burn in Hell for eternity or I am ultimately annihilated so be it

      May Yahweh's curse rest on the Watchtower Society and its Satanic leadership

      NWT is a false translation that takes away from the deity of Jesus !

    Thank you for taking the time to provide this service. I like seeing the NASB on your web page in the same format as I read on paper. On other sites, the text area is smaller, and so I have to keep scrolling down to read and sometimes I lose the context. So I really appreciate the format.

    As far as the NWT, you are certainly free to do whatever you think best with your own web pages. I'd suggest that you make a note anytime you have a translation that is associated with only one denomination or church, for example:
    New World Translation (Jehovah's Witness version).

    In Jesus' parable of the wheat and the tares. the main idea seems to be that you can't easily distinguish between God's people and not-God's people on this earth, so our Lord's response is to wait until they are shown to be the kind of people they are inside. But the NWT seems like false teaching to me. So I think the warning passages from Jesus' apostles are more applicable, as in 2 Peter 3:15-16, when he talks about Paul's writings:
    "There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures."
    And we also have the positive exhortations, as in 2 Timothy 2:15:
    "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth."

      Your suggestion regarding the denominational flagging is duly noted. But I can’t help but wonder, wouldn’t a Catholic also want “Protestant versions” marked as well?

      As for the parable, I’m pretty sure the slaves were convinced in their own minds that they could tell the tares from the wheat. After all, aren’t they the ones who identified the problem in the first place? But the master obviously thought otherwise.

      Furthermore, even at the time when Jesus himself was walking the earth, not everybody who claimed fellowship actually followed him causing John to inquire at Mark 9:39, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us.” But Jesus said, “Do not hinder him . . . for he who is not against us is for us.”

    Hello, question.. why have you included the NWT with other legitimate bible translations? Or why have you not atleast included a warning to readers? Don't you fear that someone could be influenced by the Watchtower's intentional heresies? Thank you.

      Please site these intentional heresies. I am well versed in the watch tower outline and agree they are in many ways incorrect but i also bet i can point many out from EVERY established or main denomination. There is much to learn from them all as one who drinks milk?

      Judge not lest ye be judged, that is not to pass judgement on you either brother.

      I debate with scripture. I don't hold it to be true that Michael is Y'Shua HaMeshiach but I also firmly hold it to be true that our G-d and Heavenly Father are not the word encarnate and only begotten son.

      I love not seeing "lord" which i relate to baal. I feel the catholic church is a satanic establishment and I am aware a freemason started the hovies but there are evil in high places and our fight is also with principalities.

      What i'm saying is that in my darkest hours, those two were some of if not the only ones who would bring a Bible and eucharist and pray with me.

      We all fall short of the glory of G-d.

      Don't forget the NWT was recognized as the most accurate translation on Jeopardy.

      Lastly, this is different I noted than the NWT i have read and am very familiar with. Pull up the watchtower page and compare. I truly look forward to getting this one!
