Jude
Jude writes urgently — he meant to write of salvation generally, but finds he must write to ‘earnestly contend for the faith.’ A brief polemic with echoes of 1 Enoch and a doxology that closes the whole.

“Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.”

Each section is one focused part of Jude — purpose, key movements, key verses, Christ-in-this-section. Roughly five minutes each.
Themes
Earnestly contend: ‘Earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints’ (v. 3) — the letter's stated purpose.
1 Enoch quoted: Jude 14–15 quotes 1 Enoch 1:9 — the NT's clearest citation of extra-biblical literature as ‘prophecy.’ Cross-link forward to `/extra-biblical/1-enoch` when Wave E ships.
