Jude 1

Jude addresses believers to contend for the faith against false teachers who have secretly infiltrated the church and perverted God's grace into sensuality[2][8]. He warns of God's judgment on the ungodly by referencing past examples—the unbelieving Israelites in the wilderness, fallen angels, and Sodom and Gomorrah—and exhorts believers to build themselves up in faith, pray in the Holy Spirit, and keep themselves in God's love[3][6].
