Context of Jude 1:19

17But you, loved ones, ought to remember the words previously proclaimed by the emissaries of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah— 18how they kept telling you, “In the last time there will be scoffers, following after their own ungodly desires.” These are the ones who cause divisions—worldly-minded, not having the Ruach 20But you, loved ones, continue building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Ruach ha-Kodesh. 21Keep yourselves in the love of God, eagerly waiting for the mercy of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah that leads 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.

• 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.

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).
