Jude 1:22 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

And of some have compassion, making a difference:

None but those who 'keep themselves' are likely to "save" others.

Have compassion. So 'Aleph (') B read; but A C, Vulgate, etc. х elengchete (G1651)], 'reprove to their conviction;' 'confute,' so as to convince.

Making a difference. 'Aleph (') A B C, Vulgate, Syriac, Coptic, read the accusative for the nominative х diakrinomenous (G1252) for diakrinomenoi (G1252)], 'when separating themselves' (Wahl), Jude 1:19; or 'when contending with you,' as Jude 1:9.
