Jude 11
Contemporary English Version
11 (A) Now they are in for real trouble. They have followed Cain's example[a] and have made the same mistake that Balaam[b] did by caring only for money. They have also rebelled against God, just as Korah did.[c] Because of all this, they will be destroyed.

- 11 Cain's example: Cain murdered his brother Abel.
- 11 Balaam: According to the biblical account, Balaam refused to curse the people of Israel for profit (see Numbers 22.18; 24.13), though he led them to be unfaithful to the Lord (see Numbers 25.1-3; 31.16). But by New Testament times, some Jewish teachers taught that Balaam was greedy and did accept money to curse them.
- 11 just as Korah did: Together with Dathan and Abiram, Korah led a rebellion against Moses and Aaron (see Numbers 16.1-35; 26.9,10).
