William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Jude 1:17-19

(ii) These evil men have a second characteristic. They set up divisions--they are fleshly creatures, without the Spirit. Here is a most significant thought--to set up divisions within the church is always sin. These men set up divisions in two ways. (a) As we have already seen, even at the Love Feasts they had their own little cliques. By their conduct they were steadily destroying fellowship within the church. They were drawing a circle to shut men out instead of drawing a circle to take... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Jude 1:20-21

1:20-21 But you, beloved, must build yourselves up on the foundation of your most holy faith; you must pray in the Holy Spirit; you must keep yourselves in the love of God; while you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ which will bring you to life eternal. In the previous passage Jude described the characteristics of error, here he describes the characteristics of goodness. (i) The good man builds up his life on the foundation of the most holy faith. That is to say, the life of... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Jude 1:22-23

1:22-23 Some of them you must argue out of their error, while they are still wavering. Others you must rescue by snatching them out of the fire. Others you must pity and fear at the same time, hating the garment stained by the flesh. Different translators give differing translations of this passage. The reason is that there is much doubt as to what the true Greek text is. We have given the translation which we believe to be nearest to the sense of the passage. Even to the worst heretics,... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Jude 1:24-25

1:24-25 Unto him who is able to keep you from slipping and to make you stand blameless and exultant in the presence of his glory, to the only God, our Saviour, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and power, before all time, at this present time, and for all time. Amen. Jude comes to an end with a tremendous ascription of praise. Three times in the New Testament praise is given to the God who is able. In Romans 16:25 Paul gives praise to the God who is able to... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jude 1:8

Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh ,.... Which may be literally understood, either of the Jewish doctors, who pretended to be interpreters of dreams, as R. Akiba, R. Lazar, and others F14 T. Hieros. Maaser Sheni, fol. 55. 2, 3. ; or of the false teachers in the apostle's time, and of their filthy dreams, and nocturnal pollutions in them; which sense the Arabic and Ethiopic versions confirm; the former rendering the words thus, "so these retiring in the time of sleep,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jude 1:9

Yet Michael the archangel ,.... By whom is meant, not a created angel, but an eternal one, the Lord Jesus Christ; as appears from his name Michael, which signifies, "who is as God": and who is as God, or like unto him, but the Son of God, who is equal with God? and from his character as the archangel, or Prince of angels, for Christ is the head of all principality and power; and from what is elsewhere said of Michael, as that he is the great Prince, and on the side of the people of God, and... read more

But these speak evil of those things which they know not ,.... Which may more particularly refer to dignities, Judges 1:8 ; either angels, who are little known, and not at all, but by revelation, and yet were blasphemed, or evil spoken of by these men; either by ascribing too much to them, as the creation of the world; or by saying such things of them, as were below, and unworthy of them, as their congress with women, &c.; or civil magistrates; these men were ignorant of the nature,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jude 1:11

Woe unto them ,.... This may be considered as a commiseration of their case, or as a denunciation of deserved punishment, or as a prediction of what would befall them. The Arabic version prefaces these words with an address to the saints, "O my beloved": that what was about to be said might be attended to, as a caution and instruction to them, For they have gone in the way of Cain ; which was a way of envy, for Cain envied the acceptance of his brother's gift, and that notice which the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jude 1:12

These are spots in your feasts of charity ,.... Or "love". The Jews speak סעודתיה דמהימנותא , "of a feast of faith" F2 Zohar in Exod. fol. 36. 3, 4. . These here seem to be the Agapae, or love feasts, of the primitive Christians; the design of which was to maintain and promote brotherly love, from whence they took their name; and to refresh the poor saints, that they might have a full and comfortable meal now and then: their manner of keeping them was this; they began and ended... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jude 1:13

Raging waves of the sea ,.... False teachers are so called, for their, swelling pride and vanity; which, as it is what prevails in human nature, is a governing vice in such persons, for knowledge without grace puffs up; and this shows that they had not received the doctrine of grace in truth, for that humbles; as also for their arrogance, boasting, and ostentation; and for their noisiness, their restless, uneasy, and turbulent spirits, for their furious and wrathful dispositions; as well as... read more
