犹大书1:8-16
8这些作梦的人，也像他们污秽身体，轻慢主治的，毁谤在尊位的。9天使长米迦勒，为摩西的尸首与魔鬼争辩的时候，尚且不敢用毁谤的话罪责他，只说，主责备你吧。10但这些人毁谤他们所不知道的。他们本性所知道的事与那没有灵性的畜类一样，在这事上竟败坏了自己。11他们有祸了。因为走了该隐的道路，又为利往巴兰的错谬里直奔，并在可拉的背叛中灭亡了。12这样的人，在你们的爱席上，与你们同吃的时候，正是礁石。（或作玷污）他们作牧人，只知喂养自己，无所惧怕。是没有雨的云彩，被风飘荡，是秋天没有果子的树，死而又死，连根被拔出来。13是海里的狂浪，涌出自己可耻的沫子来。是流荡的星，有墨黑的幽暗为他们永远存留。14亚当的七世孙以诺，曾预言这些人说，看哪，主带着他的千万圣者降临，15要在众人身上行审判，证实那一切不敬虔的人，所妄行一切不敬虔的事，又证实不敬虔之罪人所说顶撞他的刚愎话。16这些人是私下议论，常发怨言的，随从自己的情欲而行，口中说夸大的话，为得便宜谄媚人。
8In the same way, these people—who claim authority from their dreams—live immoral lives, defy authority, and scoff at supernatural beings.#1:8 Greek at glorious ones, which are probably evil angels. 9But even Michael, one of the mightiest of the angels,#1:9 Greek Michael, the archangel. did not dare accuse the devil of blasphemy, but simply said, “The Lord rebuke you!” (This took place when Michael was arguing with the devil about Moses’ body.) 10But these people scoff at things they do not understand. Like unthinking animals, they do whatever their instincts tell them, and so they bring about their own destruction. 11What sorrow awaits them! For they follow in the footsteps of Cain, who killed his brother. Like Balaam, they deceive people for money. And like Korah, they perish in their rebellion. 12When these people eat with you in your fellowship meals commemorating the Lord’s love, they are like dangerous reefs that can shipwreck you.#1:12 Or they are contaminants among you; or they are stains. They are like shameless shepherds who care only for themselves. They are like clouds blowing over the land without giving any rain. They are like trees in autumn that are doubly dead, for they bear no fruit and have been pulled up by the roots. 13They are like wild waves of the sea, churning up the foam of their shameful deeds. They are like wandering stars, doomed forever to blackest darkness. 14Enoch, who lived in the seventh generation after Adam, prophesied about these people. He said, “Listen! The Lord is coming with countless thousands of his holy ones 15to execute judgment on the people of the world. He will convict every person of all the ungodly things they have done and for all the insults that ungodly sinners have spoken against him.”#1:14-15 The quotation comes from intertestamental literature: 1 Enoch 1:9. 16These people are grumblers and complainers, living only to satisfy their desires. They brag loudly about themselves, and they flatter others to get what they want.
