[edit] Content
In the first section of Jude, he writes about false teachers, and warns that they have crept in [1] and deny the Lord. He then goes on to provide several examples of punishments carried out on those who denied God, the writing of this section makes the letter seem very hasty and rushed.
He then concludes with a doxology that both encourages the reader to live in a Christ-honoring lifestyle, while warning of the consequences of that lifestyle.
