Jude 1:4 - Forerunner Commentary

Jude 1:4

2 Mercy, ^apeace, and love be multiplied to you.

Contend for the Faith

3 Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you ^aconcerning our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you exhorting ^byou to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints.

4 For certain men have crept in unnoticed, who long ago were marked out for this condemnation, ungodly men, who turn the grace of our God into lewdness and deny the only Lord¹ God and our Lord Jesus Christ.

Old and New Apostates

5 But I want to remind you, though you once knew this, that ^athe Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe.

6 And the angels who did not keep their¹ proper domain, but left their own abode, He has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day;

7 as ^aSodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them in a similar manner to these, having given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the¹ vengeance of eternal fire.
