The Gabriel Version

2 May mercy and peace in love grow in you.

3 Beloved, while I take great pains to write to you of our common eternal Life, I need to write to you, urging you to earnestly contend for the faith that was once delivered to the faithful, 4 because some have come into the assembly stealthily, who from the beginning were prophesied to be condemned, wicked men, replacing the compassion of Yehovah with unbridled lust, denying the only Master Aloha, and our Master, Yeshua the Messiah.

5 I want to remind you, tho you all know it, that Yehovah, after first rescuing the people from Egypt, later destroyed those who didnt believe. 6 The spirit Messengers who didnt keep their original status, but left their dwelling place, He has reserved in the perpetual bond of darkness, for the great Judgment Day. 7 As Sodom and Gomorrah, and the surrounding cities, that in a similar manner were given over to illicit sex, having pursued various kinds of carnality, lie before us as an example of undergoing the execution of a sentence of everlasting fire.

8 In the same manner, these sensual dreamers contaminate their very flesh and despise government and blaspheme majesty. 9 But Michael, a chief Messenger, while contending with the Accuser over the body of Moses, didnt venture to bring a blasphemous accusation against him but said, “Yehovah will rebuke you”. 10 But they blaspheme things that they dont even understand. In their natural thoughts they are as unreasonable as animals, in these things they are a desecration.

11 Too bad for them, they’ve followed in the way of Cain, and as Balaam did, they’ve lusted for money, and will be destroyed, just as those in the rebellion of Korah.

12 These are the ones who wreck your celebration of the Master’s Supper, feasting without fear, clouds without rain, blown around by the wind, trees whose fruit has failed, they have no fruit, deserving the second death and being ripped out by the roots. 13 They are raging waves of the sea, their very foaming shows their confusion, wandering asteroids [aster], being reserved for the darkness of night forever.

14 Enoch, who was the seventh from Adam, also prophesied of them, when he said, “Yehovah is coming, with millions of His faithful ones, 15 to execute judgment on all the wicked and to convict them of all the wicked acts they’ve committed, because of all the offensive things that these wicked sinners have spoken”. 16 They are malcontents who complain about everything, following their lusts. They give extravagant speeches, appearing as marvelous wonders for the sake of money.

17 Beloved, do you remember the things that were said by the envoys of our Master Yeshua the Messiah, 18 because they told you that in the end times there would be scoffers, following their own lusts in the pursuit of wickedness. 19 These are “self appointed” pleasure seekers, without the spirit.

20 But dear Friends, finish building for yourselves your devout faith, thru the dedicated spirit, while you pray. 21 Let’s keep ourselves in the love of Yehovah, while we wait for the mercy of our Master Yeshua the Messiah, for our eternal Life. 22 Rescue some of them from the fire[1]. 23 And when they’ve a change of mind, have compassion on them, with fear, while hating even the tunic that is contaminated by the flesh.

24 To the One who is able to keep you from falling, and to present you without a blemish, before the presence of His majesty, with joy, 25 to the only Aloha, our Life Giver, by means of Yeshua the Messiah our Master, be splendor and dominion and honor and majesty, both now and forever. Aw-mane’.
