ACC ~ Jude 1 v11

THEY ABANDON THEMSELVES. CLEMENT OF ALEXANDRIA: Because we have sinned according to the likeness of Adam, we share in the burden of Adam’s sin. ADUMBRATIONS.

THEY DESERTED THE TRUTH. DIDYMUS THE BLIND: Since it has been declared that heretics have completely deserted the word of truth, Jude shows how they are subjected to different kinds of evil. COMMENTARY ON JUDE.

OUTRAGEOUS UNGODLINESS. ANDREAS: These people are even fratricides, because what they teach kills the souls of those who are deceived by them. Look how he describes their outrageous ungodliness. He is not content to compare them with Cain but adds Ba-laam and Korah as well. Cain we understand from the above. Balaam he adds because Ba-laam went out to curse God’s people for the sake of money, even if God later turned his tongue around to the point where he blessed them instead. Korah is mentioned because he seized a teaching authority which God had not granted to him. CATENA.
