1. Ungodly

2. Morally perverted

3. Deny Christ

Yet in the same way these men, also by dreaming, defile the flesh, and reject authority, and blaspheme glorious ones...But these men blaspheme the things which they do not understand; and the things which they know by instinct, like unreasoning animals, by these things they are destroyed (Jude 8 & 10).

4. Defile the flesh

5. Rebellious 

6. Revile holy angels

7. Dreamers

8. Ignorant

9. Self-destruction

These are grumblers, finding fault, following after their own lusts; and their mouth speaks arrogantly, flattering people for the sake of their own benefit (Jude 16).

10. Grumblers

11. Faultfinders

12. Self-seeking

13. Arrogant speakers

14. Flatterers

that they were saying to you, “In the last time there will be mockers, following after their own ungodly lusts.” (Jude 18)

15. Mockers

These are the ones who cause divisions, worldly-minded, not having the Spirit (Jude 19).
