New Century Version

Jude 1:1-4 New Century Version (NCV)

1. From Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ and a brother of James.To all who have been called by God. God the Father loves you, and you have been kept safe in Jesus Christ:

2. Mercy, peace, and love be yours richly.

3. Dear friends, I wanted very much to write you about the salvation we all share. But I felt the need to write you about something else: I want to encourage you to fight hard for the faith that was given the holy people of God once and for all time.

4. Some people have secretly entered your group. Long ago the prophets wrote about these people who will be judged guilty. They are against God and have changed the grace of our God into a reason for sexual sin. They also refuse to accept Jesus Christ, our only Master and Lord.
