Jude 3-5
Holman Christian Standard Bible
Jude’s Purpose in Writing
3 Dear friends, although I was eager to write you about the salvation we share,(A) I found it necessary to write and exhort you to contend for the faith(B) that was delivered(C) to the saints once for all. 4 For some men, who were designated for this judgment long ago,(D) have come in by stealth;(E) they are ungodly,(F) turning the grace of our God into promiscuity and denying(G) Jesus Christ, our only Master and Lord.
Apostates: Past and Present
5 Now I want to remind you, though you know all these things: The Lord[a] first[b] saved a people out of Egypt and later destroyed those who did not believe;(H)

Jude 3-5
New International Version
The Sin and Doom of Ungodly People
3 Dear friends,(A) although I was very eager to write to you about the salvation we share,(B) I felt compelled to write and urge you to contend(C) for the faith(D) that was once for all entrusted to God’s holy people.(E) 4 For certain individuals whose condemnation was written about[a] long ago have secretly slipped in among you.(F) They are ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord.(G)
5 Though you already know all this,(H) I want to remind you(I) that the Lord[b] at one time delivered his people out of Egypt, but later destroyed those who did not believe.(J)
