Certain people have secretly slipped in among you. Long ago it was written that they would be judged. They are ungodly people. They misuse the grace of our God as an excuse for sexual sins. They say no to Jesus Christ, our only Lord and King.

因为有些人偷着进来，就是自古被定受刑罚的，是不虔诚的，将我们神的恩变作放纵情欲的机会，并且不认独一的主宰、我们主耶稣基督。

因为有些人偷偷地进来，就是早就被判定受惩罚的不虔诚的人，他们把我们上帝的恩典变为放纵情欲的机会，并且不认独一的主宰—我们的主耶稣基督。

因为有些人偷偷地进来，就是早就被判定受惩罚的不虔诚的人，他们把我们神的恩典变为放纵情欲的机会，并且不认独一的主宰—我们的主耶稣基督。

因为有些不敬虔的人偷偷地混进你们中间，以上帝的恩典作借口，放纵情欲，否认独一的主宰——我们的主耶稣基督。圣经上早已记载，这样的人必受到审判。

因为有人已经混进你们中间，他们就是早被判定受刑的不敬虔的人。这些人把我们神的恩典当作放纵情欲的借口，并且否认独一的主宰我们的主耶稣基督。

因为有些人已经偷偷进来了。他们是先前早就被记载的要受那惩罚的人；他们是不敬神的人，把我们神的恩典变为好色的借口，并且否认那独一的主宰——我们的主耶稣基督。

因為有些人偷着進來，就是往古時候經上早已記載必須受這處刑的：嘿，不虔的人，將我們上帝的恩變為邪蕩的託詞，否認我們獨一無二的主宰和主耶穌基督。

因為有些人已經偷偷進來了。他們是先前早就被記載的要受那懲罰的人；他們是不敬神的人，把我們神的恩典變為好色的藉口，並且否認那獨一的主宰——我們的主耶穌基督。

蓋有數人潛入、即自昔所預載以服此鞫者、彼乃不虔之人、以我上帝之恩、反縱其慾、而不認唯一主宰及我主耶穌基督、○

蓋有不虔之人私入會、彼以吾上帝之恩、反為邪慝之由、拒一主上帝、即吾主耶穌基督、自昔已預定其受刑、

蓋有數人潛入教會、彼乃不虔敬、以我天主恩、反為邪惡之由、不認獨一主天主及我主耶穌基督、此等人自昔已被預定、為此受刑、○

而比來頗有不肖之徒、混入同道之中、假我天主之洪恩、以恣其私慾、明目張膽、否認吾人之唯一真宰、唯一真主耶穌基督。此輩大逆不道、實地獄中人也。

For certain individuals whose condemnation was written about long ago have secretly slipped in among you. 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.

For certain people have crept in unnoticed who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into sensuality and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.

I say this because some ungodly people have wormed their way into your churches, saying that God’s marvelous grace allows us to live immoral lives. The condemnation of such people was recorded long ago, for they have denied our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.

For some people, who were designated for this judgment long ago, have come in by stealth; they are ungodly, turning the grace of our God into sensuality and denying Jesus Christ, our only Master and Lord.

For certain people have crept in unnoticed, those who were long beforehand marked out for this condemnation, ungodly persons who turn the grace of our God into indecent behavior and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.

For certain men have crept in unnoticed, who long ago were marked out for this condemnation, ungodly men, who turn the grace of our God into lewdness and deny the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ.

For there are certain men crept in privily, even they who were of old written of beforehand unto this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.

For some men, who were designated for this judgment long ago, have come in by stealth; they are ungodly, turning the grace of our God into promiscuity and denying Jesus Christ, our only Master and Lord.

For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

For certain men have secretly slipped in among you– men who long ago were marked out for the condemnation I am about to describe– ungodly men who have turned the grace of our God into a license for evil and who deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.

For there are certain men who crept in secretly, even those who were long ago written about for this condemnation: ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into indecency, and denying our only Master, God, and Lord, Jesus Christ.

This matter came up because some people had slipped in among us. They had pretended to be believers. They wanted to find out about the freedom we have because we belong to Christ Jesus. They wanted to make us slaves again.

But there were also false prophets among the people. In the same way there will be false teachers among you. In secret they will bring in teachings that will destroy you. They will even turn against the Lord and Master who died to pay for their sins. So they will quickly destroy themselves.Many people will follow their lead. These people will do the same evil things the false teachers do. They will cause people to think badly about the way of truth.These teachers are never satisfied. They want to get something out of you. So they make up stories to take advantage of you. They have been under a sentence of death for a long time. The God who will destroy them has not been sleeping.

Most of all, this is true of people who follow desires that come from sin’s power. These people hate to be under authority. They are bold and proud. So they aren’t even afraid to speak evil things against heavenly beings.

And,“ It is a stone that causes people to trip. It is a rock that makes them fall.”( Isaiah 8:14) They trip and fall because they do not obey the message. That is also what God planned for them.

To people who are pure, all things are pure. But to those who have twisted minds and don’t believe, nothing is pure. In fact, their minds and their sense of what is right and wrong are twisted.They claim to know God. But their actions show they don’t know him. They are hated by God. They refuse to obey him. They aren’t fit to do anything good.

They are the kind who trick their way into the homes of some women. These women are ready to believe anything. And they take control over these women. These women are loaded down with sins. They give in to all kinds of evil desires.

They speak empty, bragging words. They make their appeal to the evil desires that come from sin’s power. They tempt new believers who are just escaping from the company of sinful people.They promise to give freedom to these new believers. But they themselves are slaves to sinful living. That’s because“ people are slaves to anything that controls them.”They may have escaped the sin of the world. They may have come to know our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. But what if they are once again caught up in sin? And what if it has become their master? Then they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning.Suppose they had not known the way of godliness. This would have been better than to know godliness and then turn away from it. The way of godliness is the sacred command passed on to them.What the proverbs say about them is true.“ A dog returns to where it has thrown up.”( Proverbs 26:11) And,“ A pig that is washed goes back to rolling in the mud.”

Live as free people. But don’t use your freedom to cover up evil. Live as people who are God’s slaves.

My brothers and sisters, you were chosen to be free. But don’t use your freedom as an excuse to live under the power of sin. Instead, serve one another in love.

By God’s word the heavens and earth of today are being reserved for fire. They are being kept for the day when God will judge. Then ungodly people will be destroyed.

God did not spare the world’s ungodly people long ago. He brought the flood on them. But Noah preached about the right way to live. God kept him safe. He also saved seven others.God judged the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. He burned them to ashes. He made them an example of what is going to happen to ungodly people.

God’s grace has now appeared. By his grace, God offers to save all people.His grace teaches us to say no to godless ways and sinful desires. We must control ourselves. We must do what is right. We must lead godly lives in today’s world.

What should we say then? Should we keep on sinning so that God’s grace can increase?Not at all! As far as sin is concerned, we are dead. So how can we keep on sinning?

Be sure that no one misses out on God’s grace. See to it that a bitter plant doesn’t grow up. If it does, it will cause trouble. And it will make many people impure.See to it that no one commits sexual sins. See to it that no one is godless like Esau. He sold the rights to what he would receive as the oldest son. He sold them for a single meal.

God will bring Jesus back at a time that pleases him. God is the blessed and only Ruler. He is the greatest King of all. He is the most powerful Lord of all.God is the only one who can’t die. He lives in light that no one can get close to. No one has seen him. No one can see him. Honor and power belong to him forever. Amen.

We will no longer be babies in the faith. We won’t be like ships tossed around by the waves. We won’t be blown here and there by every new teaching. We won’t be blown around by cleverness and tricks. Certain people use them to hide their evil plans.

He is coming to judge everyone. He is coming to sentence all of them. He will judge them for all the ungodly acts they have done. They have done them in ungodly ways. He will sentence ungodly sinners for all the things they have said to oppose him.”

When he arrived and saw what the grace of God had done, he was glad. He told them all to remain true to the Lord with all their hearts.

Isn’t the potter free to make different kinds of pots out of the same lump of clay? Some are for special purposes. Others are for ordinary use.What if God chose to show his great anger? What if he chose to make his power known? But he put up with the people he was angry with. They were made to be destroyed.

But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came. The enemy planted weeds among the wheat and then went away.

It is surely true that he is my rock. He is the God who saves me. He is like a fort to me. I will always be secure.

And what is eternal life? It is knowing you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.

“ The waves of death were all around me. A destroying flood swept over me.

Blessed is the person who obeys the law of the Lord. They don’t follow the advice of evil people. They don’t make a habit of doing what sinners do. They don’t join those who make fun of the Lord and his law.

Scripture says,“ Suppose it is hard for godly people to be saved. Then what will happen to ungodly people and sinners?”( Proverbs 11:31)

We have heard that some of our people came to you and caused trouble. You were upset by what they said. But we had given them no authority to go.

Lord, who will not have respect for you? Who will not bring glory to your name? You alone are holy. All nations will come and worship you. They see that the things you do are right.”
