Commentary from biblehub on Jude 1:23:
Pulling them out of the fire: it is a proverbial speech, Zechariah 3:2: the sense is, that as they that are in the fire, and like to be destroyed by it, must not be gently exhorted to come out of it of themselves, but speedily and forcibly pulled out, in consideration of their eminent danger; so they that are more stubborn sinners, being in apparent danger of being destroyed by the fire of their lusts, and being as it were in the mouth of hell, must be more harshly and severely dealt with, by setting the Lord’s terrors before them, 2 Corinthians 5:11, and inflicting church censures on them.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77610279 Again from biblehub The second part of Jude 1:23: Hating even the garment spotted by the flesh: it is an allusion to that ceremonial law, Leviticus 15:4,17, where he that touched a defiled garment was himself defiled. The sense is, either: 1. That where there is danger of infection from heretics and obstinate sinners, all converse with them, and any thing whereby the contagion of their doctrine or manners may reach us, is to be avoided: or: 2. That when we reprehend others, we should do it with suitable affections, and though we would save themselves, we should hate their vices, and any thing that promotes them or savours of them. Jude 1:24 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling The risk of falling or stumbling is great - Therefore we can't rely on our own resources to prevent it. A higher power is there to help you. More from Jude 1:24 .... and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy --- The glory that shall be revealed at the day of judgment. The meaning is, "Who can bring it to pass that you stand blameless before the judgment-seat" (Colossians 1:22; 1Thessalonians 3:13). And the exhilaration it brings, cannot be exceeded by anything else. Jude ends with he largest possible ascription of praise. It's the ascription of an honor which is confessed to belong to him forever. It's in his character as Savior - to preserve those that tend to fall; redeemer of the weak and sinful; and, as always is "through Jesus Christ." Jude 1:25 To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.
