Jude 1:19

1:19 These people are divisive, ¹  worldly, ²  devoid of the Spirit. ³ 

Jude 1:10

Jude 1:24

Final Blessing

1:24 Now to the one who is able to keep you from falling, ⁵  and to cause you to stand, rejoicing, ⁶  without blemish ⁷  before his glorious presence, ⁸ 

¹ tn Grk “these are the ones who cause divisions.”

² tn Or “natural,” that is, living on the level of instincts, not on a spiritual level (the same word occurs in 1 Cor 2:14 as a description of nonbelievers).

³ tn Grk “not having [the] Spirit.”

⁴ tn Or “they should naturally comprehend.” The present tense in this context may have a conative force.

⁷ tn The construction in Greek is a double accusative object-complement. “You” is the object and “free from falling” is the adjectival complement.

⁸ tn Grk “with rejoicing.” The prepositional clause is placed after “his glorious presence” in Greek, but most likely goes with “cause you to stand.”

⁹ tn The construction in Greek is a double accusative object-complement. “You” is the object and “without blemish” is the adjectival complement.

¹⁰ tn Or “in the presence of his glory,” “before his glory.”
