Commentary
Commentary on Jude 1:5
Theological / DevotionalIn remembrance. We need not assume from these words that his readers had forgotten the facts of which Jude is about to remind them. The writer calls known facts to mind as part of his vigorous defense of the faith. For similar phraseology cf. 2 Peter 1:12, 13; 3:1.
Though ye once knew this. Textual evidence favors (cf. p. 10) the reading “though ye know all things once for all,” confirming the above interpretation of “put you in remembrance.”
The Lord. That is, Christ, who led Israel out of Egypt (see on Ex. 23:20; 1 Cor. 10:4).
Afterward. Literally, “the second time,” that is, the next event was the destruction of the unbelievers mentioned in v. 4 (Num. 14:26–39).
