Context of Jude 1:19

17But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; 18How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. These are they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit. 20But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying by the Holy Spirit, 21Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life.

Commentaries on Jude 1:19

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 19Who separate themselves - From the true Church, which they leave from an affectation of superior wisdom. Sensual - · Animal - living as brute beasts, guided simply by their own lusts and passions, their Bible being the manifold devices and covetousness of their own hearts; for they have not the Spirit - they are not spiritually minded; and have no Holy Ghost, no inspiration from God.Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 19These be they who separate themselves - That is, from their brethren and from the work of benevolence and truth. Compare Romans 16:17; Judges 5:16, Judges 5:23. Sensual - Under the influence of gross passions and appetites. Having not the spirit - The Holy Spirit, or the spirit of true religion.Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 17-23Verses 17-23 Sensual men separate from Christ, and his church, and join themselves to the devil, the world, and the flesh, by ungodly and sinful practices. 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
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 17-23After condemning the false teachers, Jude again encourages his readers directly (see 1:3–4). The apostles had warned them about false teachings (1:17–19). They should support each other in their faith (1:20–21). They should help those who might be misled by the false teachers (1:22–23).Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1919. These be they--showing that their characters are such as Peter and Paul had foretold. separate themselves--from Church communion in its vital, spiritual reality: for outwardly they took part in Church ordinances (Jude 12). Some oldest manuscripts omit "themselves": then understand it, "separate," cast out members of the Church by excommunication (Is 65:5; 66:5; Lu 6:22; Joh 9:34; compare "casteth them out of the Church;" 3Jo 10). Many, however…Read the comment
