1:6 {5} And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.
(5) The fall of the angels was most severely punished, how much more then will the Lord punish wicked and faithless men?
Jude 1:6 And the angels which kept not their first state. These angels, then, had fallen. Created holy, they had sinned and become wicked angels, or evil spirits. See PNT 2Pe 2:4.
