Jude 1:16
Compare all
14 Now Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men also, saying, “Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of His saints,
15 to execute judgment on all, to convict all who are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have committed in an ungodly way, and of all the aharsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.”  

Apostates Predicted

16 These are grumblers, complainers, walking according to their own lusts; and they amouth great swelling words, bflattering people to gain advantage.  
17 aBut you, beloved, remember the words which were spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ:  
18 how they told you that athere would be mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own ungodly lusts.  
19 These are1 sensual persons, who cause divisions, not having the Spirit.  

Maintain Your Life with God

20 But you, beloved, abuilding yourselves up on your most holy faith, bpraying in the Holy Spirit,  
21 keep yourselves in the love of God, alooking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.  
22 And on some have compassion,1 making a distinction;  
23 but aothers save with fear, bpulling them out of the fire, hating even cthe garment defiled by the flesh.

Jude 1:16

murmurers—in secret: muttering murmurs against God's ordinances and ministers in Church and state. Compare Judges 1:8, "speak evil of dignities"; Judges 1:15, "hard speeches"; against the Lord.

complainers—never satisfied with their lot (Numbers 11:1; compare the penalty, Deuteronomy 28:47-48).

walking after their own lusts— (Judges 1:18). The secret of their murmuring and complaining is the restless insatiability of their desires.

great swelling words— (II Peter 2:18).

men's persons—their mere outward appearance and rank.

because of advantage—for the sake of what they may gain from them. While they talk great swelling words, they are really mean and fawning towards those of wealth and rank.
