Jude 11-13

EasyEnglish Bible

¹¹ It will be terrible for them! They have lived in the way that Cain lived.^[a] They have made the same mistake that Balaam made, because they wanted to get money for themselves.^[b] Like Korah, they have refused to obey God.^[c] So God will destroy them.

The false teachers are very dangerous

¹² When you eat special meals together as believers, those false teachers meet with you. But they are dangerous! They will stop you showing your love for one another. They come only because they want to eat too much. They do not respect God or other people. They only think about themselves and they are not ashamed. They are like clouds that you think will bring rain. But the wind blows those clouds along and there is no rain. They are like trees that have no fruit, even at the time for harvest. People pull trees like that out of the ground. They are completely dead and can give no fruit. ¹³ Those false teachers are like water in the sea that the wind blows during a storm. The dirt that comes to the top of the water is like the disgusting things that those people do. They are like stars that have moved away from their proper places in the sky. God has prepared a completely dark place for them. God will keep them there for ever.
