For me, one of the biggest parts of the whole thing was the credibility now given to 1 Enoch. It’s a must read. It is quoted in the NT.

Just because something from 1 Enoch is quoted in the New Testament doesn't mean that 1 Enoch is now to be considered as a book of Holy Scripture. Various books in the New Testament also quote from:

The Kretika by the Greek poet and mystic Epimenides of Knossos;
The didactic poem Phainomena by the Stoic philosopher Aratos of Soloi;
The Greek tragedy Agamemnon by Aischylos; and
The Greek comedy Thais by the Athenian comic playwright Menandros.

Yet these secular Greek writings are not considered books of the Holy Bible.

Details are in the March 9, 2017, article by Spencer McDaniel, "Greek Writers Quoted in the New Testament."

Yes, in Jude (14-15).
