Notes

Jude 1:7

God's judgment on Sodom and Gomorrah became well-known (see Genesis 18:17–19:26; Luke 17:26–29).
the cities around them: Deuteronomy 29:23 mentions Admah and Zeboiim.
sexual immorality and pursued strange flesh: this likely refers to sexual relations between people of the same sex (Genesis 19:5–10).

Jude 1:5–16

This section explains "designated long ago for condemnation" in 1:4 by using Old Testament examples of God's judgment on false teachers.
