Text: Jude 1:3 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.
COMMON SALVATION
Acts 16:30-31 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? 31 And they said, Believe [aorist active imperative] on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved [future passive indicative], and thy house.

THEY BELIEVED, EVENT, SIMPLE FACT
Acts 17:34 Howbeit certain men clave unto him, and believed [aorist active indicative]: among the which was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.

INDICATIVE MOOD - Defined above

CONTEND FOR THE FAITH - NOUN
Jude 1:3 Beloved, (I) exhort [present active] you that ye should earnestly contend [present middle] for the faith [feminine dative singular, (no mood)] which was once delivered [aorist passive] unto the saints.
FAITH NOUN There is no tense, voice, or mood. A noun can not be used as a verb because there are no parts of speech in the noun that relates to the parts of speech in the verb.

NUMBER singular or plural.
NO MOOD!
