Judas 1:5-19 NVIPT

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jude 1:12-16

His Vivid Description Of Their Spiritual Bankruptcy (Jude 1:12-16 ). Jude now vividly pictures their spiritual bankruptcy by means of vivid metaphors, and cites a well known prophecy from the Book of Enoch demonstrating the judgment that is coming on them. It should be noted, however, that he does not use any specific formula which would suggest that he saw the Book as Scripture. We can compare John 11:51 which demonstrates that any saying from an important religious person that contained... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jude 1:14-15

‘And to these also Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying, “Behold, the Lord came with ten thousands of his holy ones, to execute judgment on all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their works of ungodliness which they have wrought in an ungodly way, and of all the hard things which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.’ Jude now cites a passage from 1 Enoch which appears to him very apt, while interpreting it to suit his purpose. ‘The seventh from Adam’ is the way that Enoch... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jude 1:16

‘These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their lusts (and their mouth speaks great swelling words), showing respect of persons for the sake of advantage.’ He closes off the passage with another list of their failings. They are murmerers and complainers, they follow eagerly their own lusts and desires, their mouths speak great swelling words, and their behaviour towards people depends on what they think that they can get out of them. His words are descriptive of far too many so-called... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jude 1:17

‘But you, beloved, remember you the words which have been spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ, that they said to you, “In the last time there will be mockers, walking after their own ungodly lusts.” ’ They need not be disturbed by these false and ungodly people who have come among them. Rather they should remember that the Apostles have continually warned them of such things, and that such warnings are on record. There is no indication in these words that the Apostles were... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jude 1:17-21

Having Exposed The Ungodly Jude Now Turns To The Godly And Seeks To Encourage Them And Give Them Guidance (Jude 1:17-21 ). He first reminds God’s true people that what is happening is in full accord with the warnings given by the Apostles, that mockers would come who followed their own evil desires, who would cause division and lead people in sensuous ways, and then he tells them how they can combat such things by building up their knowledge of Christ, praying in the true Holy Spirit, keeping... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jude 1:19

‘These are they who make separations, sensual, having not the Spirit.’ And these people who thus mock God are causers of division and examples of sensual behaviour, who attract others into the same. They are wholly devoid of the Spirit, for whatever they appear to offer, it is not of God. This was in fact the very opposite of what they boasted. We should in fact beware of any teaching that takes us away from the idea of Jesus Christ as crucified, raised, and exalted in His flesh ( 1Co 1:18 ; 1... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Jude 1:5-7

Jude 1:5-Judges : . Three examples are given as revealing the doom of such evil-livers: the faithless Israelites in the wilderness, who were destroyed; the fallen angels, who are kept in bonds under darkness until the Judgment Day; and the Cities of the Plain, which suffered the punishment of eternal fire. Jude 1:6 . The sin of the angels was twofold: ( a) “ they kept not their own principality,” the sphere allotted to them by God ( Deuteronomy 32:8, Enoch 18:13, 21:3 )— the sin of pride 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

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Jude 1:17-18

Jude 1:17 f. But remember the words of the apostles, how they warned you that in the last times such men would be found. This passage plainly implies that the writer was not himself an apostle; some critics maintain that it also implies that the epistle dates from the sub-apostolic age. But the past to which the writer refers was the time when those whom he is addressing had received oral instruction from the apostles— or some of them; that period of personal intercourse was now past, not... read more

Jude 1:19-Isaiah : . These false brethren make divisions among you, but do you build up yourselves by means of your most holy faith. As regards them, show mercy towards those who are in doubt; save others, snatching them from the fire which is consuming them; show mercy to others, yet fear lest you be contaminated by them. Jude 1:19 . separations: cf. the warning against those who cause divisions in Romans 16:17; the divisions were probably social ( cf. Jude 1:16, “ respect of persons” ),... read more
