Jude 1:9

In context

7In the same way, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns, which plunged into sexual immorality and pursued flesh of another kind, stand as a warning, paying the penalty of eternal fire. 8Yet in the same way, these dreamers defile their own bodies, reject authority, and slander the glorious ones. 9But when the archangel Michael, disputing with the devil, argued over the body of Moses, he did not dare bring a slanderous accusation against the devil. Instead he said, “The Lord rebuke you.” 10But these people slander what they do not understand, and the very things they do grasp by instinct—like unreasoning animals—are exactly what destroy them. 11Woe to them! They have followed the path of Cain, rushed headlong into Balaam’s error for profit, and destroyed themselves in Korah’s rebellion.
