Judas 1:10, Judas 1:8 NVIPT

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Jude 1:5-15

Jude 1:5-15Contents:—Three examples of the punitive justice of God, typical of the judgment awaiting those deceivers, introduced as a warning, Jude 1:6-8; more particular description of their sins. An exclamation of woe, Jude 1:11, followed by additional details of their character, and an application to them of a prophecy of Enoch.5I will17 therefore18 put you in remembrance, though ye19 once knew this,20 how that the Lord,21 having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Jude 1:1-11

“Contend Earnestly for the Faith” Jude 1:1-11 Kept is the keynote of this Epistle. It occurs in Jude 1:1 ; Jude 1:6 ; Jude 1:21 , and in another form in Jude 1:24 . Many evil doctrines and practices were intruding into the Church. Certain persons had crept in, who quoted the mercy of God as an excuse for immorality and practically disowned the teachings of the Lord Jesus. In contrast with these were the disciples whom Jude addresses and who owned the Lord Jesus as their beloved “Despot,”... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jude 1:8-10

A Further Indication Of The Heresy In Which The Godless Men Were Involved (Jude 1:8-10 ). Jude now describes in a threefold way the folly of the ‘ungodly persons’, and points out that their attitude conflicts with the known realities. They defile themselves by sin, they set God (or the Devil) at nought, and they speak contrary to things that even angels do not dare to get involved with. He then cites an example from the apocalyptic work the Assumption of Moses, (but without citing it as... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jude 1:10

‘But these rail at whatever things they know not, and what they understand naturally, like the creatures without reason, in these things are they destroyed.’ But these foolish people, unlike Michael, think that they can treat the Devil lightly, because really they are ignorant of what they are dealing with. For while they think that they are spiritually knowledgeable, in fact they are spiritually ignorant, and as regards these things are like irrational creatures. Thus they should beware, or... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Jude 1:8-16

Jude 1:8-Nehemiah : . The false brethren sin in like manner. In their “ dreamings,” i.e. vain conceits (“ yielding to their own wayward fancies,” Chase), they are licentious and rebellious. They despise the Lordship ( Jude 1:8 *) and rail at the glorious ones ( cf. mg.) . Unlike Michael, who in his controversy with the devil did not abuse him, they do not fear to utter abuse upon things which are beyond their knowledge ( i.e. the Lordship and the glorious ones); and in the carnal things... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jude 1:10

But these speak evil of those things which they know not; the same as 2 Peter 2:12; unless this be more generally to be understood of all those spiritual things whereof they were ignorant. But what they know naturally; without reason or judgment. In those things they corrupt themselves; debauch and degrade their natures by extreme sensualities, whereby they bring destruction upon themselves: see 2 Peter 2:12. read more

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTESJude 1:7. Giving themselves over.—ἐκπορνεύσασαι; the ἐκ denotes the intensity of their lust, which would be gratified at all hazards. Strange flesh.—Other flesh; præter naturam; Romans 1:0. Eternal fire.—As eternal is a spiritual quality, and fire a material substance, the association of the two terms must be figurative, and suggestive of moral truth. Vengeance.—Is of course “just punishment,” not “unrestrained feeling.”Jude 1:8. Filthy dreamers.—Omit the adjective.... read more

Chuck Smith

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Jude 1:1-25

Shall we go to the general epistle of Jude. Jude introduces himself as...A servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James ( Jude 1:1 ),The word servant in Greek is doulos, bondslave of Jesus Christ. But also adding this identification as brother of James, which leads to a very interesting speculation, which is in all probability correct. In Matthew's gospel, chapter thirteen, when Jesus was attracting great multitudes, there were those that were offended because of Him. They said, "Hey, we know... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Jude 1:1-25

THE gleanings of the church respecting St. Jude are few. Du Pin, who spent his life in ecclesiastical studies, says, he had the surname of Lebbeus and Thaddeus, was brother of James the less, and is called the Lord’s brother. He here denominates himself the servant of Jesus Christ, or an apostle. The Greek church calls him the apostle of Mesopotamia; but Pauline assigns Lybia as his lot. Hegesippus reports that in the time of Domitian, the emperor, two grandchildren of this apostle were alive.... read more

Jude 1:9-10Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil.Archangel versus devilWe can hardly suppose that the interview between Michael and Satan was communicated to St. Jude by the Holy Ghost, because such a novel revelation would have rather startled his readers than illustrate the truth he was setting before them. To treat it as a fable without foundation in fact would have weakened the argument of the apostle. Some think that the reference is to Zechariah 3:1.“And he shewed me... read more
