Jude 1:11
King James Version
6 Jun 2026
“Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.”
ὁδός
Not a way among many ways. The way. In the ancient world, hodos meant a road that had been walked and proven. Jesus is not giving directions — He is saying: I am the road itself. Walk in Me and you will arrive.
μισθός
for reward

μισθός
Wages, reward, pay. Misthos. Behold I am coming quickly and My reward is with Me. Following Jesus comes with a reward. Not payment for works but the gift of His presence forever.
