2 Mercy, apeace, and love be multiplied to you.  

Contend for the Faith

3 Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you aconcerning our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you exhorting byou to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints.  
4 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 Lord1 God and our Lord Jesus Christ.  

Old and New Apostates

5 But I want to remind you, though you once knew this, that athe Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe.  
6 And the angels who did not keep their1 proper domain, but left their own abode, He has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day;  
7 as aSodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them in a similar manner to these, having given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the1 vengeance of eternal fire.

Jude 1:4

Jude 1:3 When I gave all diligence to write unto you. His thought was that when he proposed to write diligently and carefully some need impelled him to write at once, more briefly perhaps than he had purposed. Earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. He exhorts to contend for the faith delivered once for all, the faith without innovation, the gospel of the apostles in distinction from the adulterations of false teachers. The doctrine of a progressive revelation after the apostles is not found in the New Testament.
