Psalm 16:3Romans 1:78:27Philippians 1:1Hebrews 6:10

The "saints" spoken of in Jude 1:14 are probably not the disciples of Christ, but the "innumerable company of angels" ( Hebrews 12:22; Psalm 68:17 ), with reference to Deuteronomy 33:2 .

This word is also used of the holy dead (Matthew 27:52; Revelation 18:24 ). It was not used as a distinctive title of the apostles and evangelists and of a "spiritual nobility" till the fourth century. In that sense it is not a scriptural title.
