Jude 1:10

Jude 1:10

8 ^aLikewise also these dreamers defile the flesh, reject authority, and ^bspeak evil of dignitaries.

9 Yet Michael the archangel, in¹ contending with the devil, when he disputed about the body of Moses, dared not bring against him a reviling accusation, but said, ^a“The Lord rebuke you!”

11 Woe to them! For they have gone in the way ^aof Cain, ^bhave run greedily in the error of Balaam for profit, and perished ^cin the rebellion of Korah.
