Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Jude 1:8-10

(8-10) Application of these three instances to the libertines who are now provoking God.(8) Likewise also.—Rather, Yet in like manner: i.e., in spite of these warnings. These ungodly men were like the unbelievers in the wilderness in denying Christ and scoffing at His promises; they were like the impure angels in leaving that “constitution which is in heaven” (Philippians 3:20) for the base pleasures of earth; they were like the people of Sodom in seeking even these base pleasures by unnatural... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Jude 1:8-12

Chapter 34RAILING AT DIGNITIES-"THE ASSUMPTION OF MOSES"-ST. JUDE’S USE OF APOCRYPHAL LITERATURE.Judges 1:8-12ST. JUDE having given three terrible examples of the punishment of gross sin in Jews, Gentiles, and angels, proceeds to apply these instances to the libertines who in his own day, by their scandalous conduct as Christians, were provoking God to punish them in like manner; and the threefold description of their conduct here given seems to refer to the three instances just given, which... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Jude 1:1-25

Analysis and Annotations I. THE INTRODUCTION Jude 1:1-2 Jude in his brief introduction speaks of the Christian believers, whom he addresses, as called ones, sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ. The latter statement may also be translated “kept for Jesus Christ.” What was true of the believers in Jude’s day is true of all believers. Especially comforting is the fact, that, no matter how dark the days may be, however strong the current of evil, those who are “the beloved... read more

John Calvin

Geneva Study Bible - Jude 1:10

1:10 {8} But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.(8) The conclusion: These men are doubly at fault, that is, both for their rash folly in condemning some, and for their impudent and shameless contempt of that knowledge, which when they had gotten, yet nonetheless they lived as brute beasts, serving their bellies. read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Jude 1:1-25

CONTENTS The opening of this Epistle is truly sweet. Jude addresseth all he hath to say to the Church. It is to you, Beloved, Jude saith that he writes. He then, through the greater Part of the Chapter, points out the awful state of the reprobate. But still it is to the Church he speaks of those things, for their consolation and instruction. Towards the end, he points out the safety and blessedness of the Church, and concludes in praise. Jude 1:1 Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother... read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Jude 1:10

These men blaspheme whatsoever things they know not, as it is the custom of false and ignorant teachers: and as to things which they know by their senses, in these they are corrupted, following, like brute beasts, their natural lusts and appetites. (Witham) read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Jude 1:8-16

8-16 False teachers are dreamers; they greatly defile and grievously wound the soul. These teachers are of a disturbed mind and a seditious spirit; forgetting that the powers that be, are ordained of God, Romans 13:1. As to the contest about the body of Moses, it appears that Satan wished to make the place of his burial known to the Israelites, in order to tempt them to worship him, but he was prevented, and vented his rage in desperate blasphemy. This should remind all who dispute never to... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Jude 1:8-13

The character of the seducing teachers: v. 8. Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities. v. 9. Yet Michael, the archangel, when, contending with the devil, he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee! v. 10. But these speak evil of those things which they know not; but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves. v. ... read more
