Context of Jude 1:17

15to execute judgment on all, and to convict every person of all their thoroughly ungodly deeds that they have committed, and of all the harsh words that ungodly sinners have spoken against him.” 16These people are grumblers and fault-finders who go wherever their desires lead them, and they give bombastic speeches, enchanting folks for their own gain. But you, dear friends – recall the predictions foretold by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ. 18For they said to you, “In the end time there will come scoffers, propelled by their own ungodly desires.” 19These people are divisive, worldly, devoid of the Spirit.

• 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
