****START**THE SMALL PRINT!**FOR PUBLIC DOMAIN ETEXTS**START****
Why is this “small print” statement here? You know: lawyers. They tell us that we could get sued if there is something wrong with your copy of this etext, even if what’s wrong is not our fault, and even if you got it for free and from someone other than us. So, among other things, this “small print” statement disclaims most of the liability we could have to you if something is wrong with your copy. This “small print” statement also tells you how to distribute copies of this etext if you want to. As explained in greater detail below, if you distribute such copies you may be required to pay us if you distribute using our trademark and if we get sued in connection with your distribution.

ABOUT PROJECT GUTENBERG-TM ETEXTS
This PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm etext, like most PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm etexts, is a “Public Domain” work distributed by Professor Michael S. Hart through the Project Gutenberg Association (the “Project”). Among other things, this means that no one owns a United States copyright on or for this work, so the Project (and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without permission and without paying royalties. Special rules, set forth below, apply if you wish to copy and distribute this etext under the Project’s “PROJECT GUTENBERG” trademark. To create these etexts, the Project expends considerable efforts to identify, transcribe and proofread public domain works. Despite these efforts, the Project’s etexts and any medium they may be on may contain errors and defects (collectively, the “Defects”). Among other things, such Defects may take the form of incomplete, inaccurate, or corrupt data, transcription errors, unauthorized distribution of a work that is not in the public domain, a defective or damaged disk or another etext medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment.

As to every real and alleged Defect in this etext and any medium, it may be on, and but for the “Right of Replacement or Refund” described below, [1] the Project (and any other party you may receive this etext from as a PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm etext) disclaims all liability to you for damages, costs, and expenses, including legal fees, and [2] YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE OR UNDER STRICT LIABILITY, OR FOR BREACH OF WARRANTY OR CONTRACT, INCLUDING BUT not LIMITED TO INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND
If you received this etext in a physical medium, and the medium was physically damaged when you received it, you may return it within 90 days of receiving it to the person from whom you received it with a note explaining such Defects. Such person will give you, at his or their discretion, a replacement copy of the etext or a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it.

NO OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ARE MADE TO YOU AS TO THE ETEXT OR ANY MEDIUM IT MAY BE ON, INCLUDING BUT not LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Some states do not allow disclaimers of implied warranties or the exclusion or limitation of consequential damages, so the above disclaimers, exclusions, and limitations may not apply to you. This “small print” statement gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights.

Book 65: Jude
001:001 Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called:
001:002 Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied.
001:003 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.
001:004 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.
001:005 I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.
001:006 And the angels 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.
001:007 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
001:008 Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.
001:009 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.
001:010 But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.
001:011 Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.
001:012 These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
001:013 Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.
001:014 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,
001:015 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.
001:016 These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men’s persons in admiration because of advantage.
001:017 But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;
001:018 How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.
001:019 These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.
001:020 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,
001:021 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
001:022 And of some have compassion, making a difference:
001:023 And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
001:024 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,
001:025 To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.
