Jude 6-8
1599 Geneva Bible
6 [a]The (A)Angels also which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.
7 As (B)Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them, which in like manner as they did, [b]committed fornication, and followed [c]strange flesh, are set forth for an example, and suffer the vengeance of eternal fire.
8 Likewise notwithstanding these [d]sleepers also defile the flesh, [e]and despise [f]government, and speak evil of them that are in authority.
