Context of Jude 1:17

15He has come to judge all these people. He has come to convict all these ungodly sinners for all the ungodly things they have done and all the harsh things they have said about him.” 16These people complain, find fault, follow their own desires, say arrogant things, and flatter people in order to take advantage of them. Dear friends, remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ told you to expect: 18“In the last times people who ridicule ⌞God⌟ will appear. They will follow their own ungodly desires.” 19These are the people who cause divisions. They are concerned about physical things, not spiritual things.

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 17But, beloved, remember ye … - There is a striking similarity between these two verses and 2 Peter 3:1-3.

That is infinitely worse than to separate from any branch of the visible church on account of opinions, or modes and circumstances of outward government or worship. Sensual men have not the spirit of holiness, which whoever has not, does not belong to Christ. The grace of faith is most holy, as it…Read the comment
