The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Jude 1:8-13

The character of the seducing teachers: v. 8. Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities. v. 9. Yet Michael, the archangel, when, contending with the devil, he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee! v. 10. But these speak evil of those things which they know not; but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves. v. ... 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

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Jude 1:12-25

Beware of the Touch of the Ungodly Jude 1:12-25 What traps and pitfalls beset us! How many have fallen who had as good or a better chance than we! The angels kept not their first estate; Adam, though created in innocency, fell; Cain was rejected; Balaam, who saw with open eyes, was slain; Korah, who had carried a censer filled with holy fire, was hurled into the abyss! How can we expect to stand! Be of good cheer! He is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless , Jude 1:24... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Jude 1:1

The subject of this epistle is apostasy. Apostasy is shown to be wilful return to ungodliness. Two classes are dealt with: those who "kept not," and are therefore "kept"; and those who "keep themselves," and are "kept from stumbling." The faith was in peril, and Jude wrote urging that they should contend earnestly for the faith. The faith for which he pleaded was a life of loyalty to the Lord. The danger was created by the presence and influence of certain men who were making the grace of God... read more

James Nisbet

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Jude 1:3

IN DEFENCE OF THE FAITH‘Earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.’ Jude 1:3 It has become the fashion to deprecate controversy, but this Epistle shows us that there may be occasions when not merely controversy but earnest contention is necessary. I. It must be positive witness.—‘For the faith’: too much of present-day discussion is concerned with cold negations. II. To the old faith—the faith of the Catholic Church. Every age has its own special ‘New Theology.’... read more

James Nisbet

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Jude 1:4

SOUND DOCTRINE AND HOLY LIVING‘Ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness.’ Jude 1:4 Sound doctrine leads to holy living. Perverted doctrine goes with unholy living. Let us look into this.It is not a popular doctrine. People are always ready to say that if a man’s life be good—what matters it what he believes? But the point which people commonly lose sight of is that, as a matter of fact, all true teaching has holiness for its object, and that wherever you find... read more
