Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments (1832-1869)

To the only wise God - See the Rom 16:27 note; 1Ti 1:17 note. Our Saviour - The word “Saviour” may be appropriately applied to God as such, because he is the great Author of salvation, though it is commonly applied to the Lord Jesus Christ.

The Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit, Sermon No. 2296: “Saints Guarded From Stumbling” (lightly modernized text, CCEL edition) (1893)

THE point and pith of what I may have to say will lie in the alteration of this text caused by the revision of the New Testament. The Revised Version runs thus, "Now unto Him that is able to guard you from stumbling.''" I am not going to speak at any length upon the rest of the text, but shall dwell mainly upon this remarkable alteration, which certainly gives the meaning of the original better than the rendering in the Authorized Version. To begin, then, here is a doxology. Jude is writing upon very practical subjects, indeed.

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible (1871)

God our Saviour--The oldest manuscripts add, "through Jesus Christ our Lord." The transcribers, fancying that "Saviour" applied to Christ alone, omitted the words. The sense is, To the only God (the Father) who is our Saviour through (that is, by the mediation of) Jesus Christ our Lord. dominion--Greek, "might." power--authority: legitimate power.
