Though I have been eager to write,

Of our common salvation;

I am compelled to shed some light,

Faith building for a foundation.

Mercy unto you peace and grace,

As entrusted unto the saints;

That the Gospel truly embrace,

Remembering of the restraints.

People have secretly slipped in,

Those who have been marked and condemned;

The ungodly stinking of sin,

From the inner depths they have stemmed.

They have turned grace into evil,

And deny Jesus Christ as Lord;

For their master is the devil,

Who they have beloved and adored.

I desire to remind you,

That Jesus had saved from the land;

Later destroyed to bid adieu,

From tyranny of their demand.

Some angels that as you know,

Did not stay within their domain;

Forsook their place to go below,

Stay with Satan where they remain.

He has kept them locked up in chains,

In utter darkness till that day;

When Christ returns and as He reigns,

Judgment falls if you disobey.

Those who have such immoral ways,

Pursued unnatural desire;

Sinful action that someone strays,

Condemned to the lake of fire.

For as a result of their dreams,

With their flesh that they defile;

Their fate will result in their screams,

Flames will be their domicile.

They spoke evil of many things,

They knew not what it is about;

Despising all of what God brings,

Filled with disbelief and their doubt.

May the Lord rebuke if you teach,

Words contrary to what is truth;

May the waves foaming shame to reach,

False teachers declared as uncouth
