Commentary on Jude 1:2

Theological / Devotional

Mercy. This form of salutation occurs nowhere else in the NT, but there are somewhat similar greetings in 1 Peter 1:2. Compare Paul’s usual form in most of his letters (cf. Rom. 1:7; 2 Cor. 1:2; etc.). Jude, like Peter, wishes his readers to gain increasing supplies of the heavenly gifts (cf. on 2 Peter 1:2).
