Jude 1

The address and apostolical benediction, Judges 1:1 , Judges 1:2 . The reasons which induced Jude to write this epistle, to excite the Christians to contend for the true faith, and to beware of false teachers, lest, falling from their steadfastness, they should be destroyed after the example of backsliding Israel, the apostate angels, and the inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorrha, Judges 1:3-7 . Of the false teachers, Judges 1:8 . Of Michael disputing about the body of Moses, Judges 1:9 . The false teachers particularly described: they are like brute beasts, going the way of Cain, run after the error of Balaam, and shall perish, as did Korah in his gainsaying, Judges 1:10 , Judges 1:11 . Are impure, unsteady, fierce, shameless, etc., 12, 13. How Enoch prophesied of such, Judges 1:14 , Judges 1:15 . They are farther described as murmurers and complainers, Judges 1:16 . We should remember the cautions given unto us by the apostles who foretold of these men, Judges 1:17-19 . We should build up ourselves on our most holy faith, Judges 1:20 , Judges 1:21 . How the Church of Christ should treat such, Judges 1:22 , Judges 1:23 . The apostle's farewell, and his doxology to God, Judges 1:24 , Judges 1:25 .
