About this book

New Testament

▾

Jude — Jude writes urgently — he meant to write of salvation generally, but finds he must write to ‘earnestly contend for the faith.’ A brief polemic with echoes of 1 Enoch and a doxology that closes the whole.

Author: Jude, brother of James (v. 1) — likely the Lord's brother
Date: c. 60s AD; near-parallel to 2 Peter 2

On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Man's need of watching is implied; at the same time he cannot keep himself, unless God in His love keep him. looking for--in hope. the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ--to be fully manifested at His coming. Mercy is usually attributed to the Father: here to the Son; so entirely one are they.

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown· Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, 1871reformed

By these means, through his grace, keep yourselves in the love of God, and in the confident expectation of that eternal life which is purchased for you, and conferred upon you, through the mere mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ.
