• This is characteristic of all the apostolic doxologies. God having so revealed Himself in His grace and goodness to the spiritual understanding of the sacred writers, they usually wind up their communications with a burst of intelligent praise. (“Reflections on the Epistle of Jude: Part 8, Keep Yourselves in the Love of God”)
• We have a great deal about "falling" in this epistle—Israel falling—angels falling—cities falling—but, blessed be God, there is One who is able to keep us from falling, and it is to His holy keeping we are committed. (“The Closing Scenes of Malachi and Jude” by C.H. Mackintosh)
• The same waters which destroyed the world flowed in to float the ark. {The waters that flooded the world, floated the ark.} (“The Antidote to Existing Evils” by G.V. Wigram)
• Whatever may be the power of the enemy, or the broken condition of the Church here in the world, the power of Christ does not cease to be exercised in its behalf (“The Epistle of Jude”)
• "Now unto Him that is able to keep" that clearly refers to every step of the way, and there is power in Him to keep. It is we who fail in dependence. Never does He fail in power to preserve. (“Lectures on Jude 24-25” by W. Kelly)
• "Before the presence of His glory." Where is that? Is not that the very glory into which the Lord has now gone? (“Lectures on Jude 24-25” by W. Kelly)
• It is not very much to find where the exceeding joy is. I am persuaded it is both in Him and in us. (“Lectures on Jude 25” by W. Kelly)
• Confidence is in God; to Him the sacred writer addresses himself in closing his epistle, as he thinks of the faithful to whom he was writing. (“JUDE” by J.N. Darby)
• When one sees what are the fruits of the heart of man, one feels that it must be His mercy which presents us without spot before His face in that day for eternal life with a God of holiness. (“JUDE” by J.N. Darby)
• It may be, and is, an evil day, and the enemy is both subtle and active; but it is still true that God is able to keep us from falling, however hot the fiery trial, or fierce the temptation. (article #86573)
• Jude ministers, however, not only present consolation through the mighty succor of God, but also encouragement in the glorious prospect when, all the trials past, God Himself would present the saints faultless before His glory with exceeding joy. The word "faultless" is the same as is used of the Lord Himself when it says, He "offered Himself without spot to God." (Heb. 9:14. See also Eph. 1:4; 1 Peter 1:19, etc.) (article #86573)
• Our joy to be there, His joy to have us there. "He shall see of the fruit of the travail of His soul, and shall be satisfied." The One whose soul was once exceeding sorrowful even unto death, will be filled with "exceeding joy" for eternity. (“Have Compassion: Jude 1:22” by H. Smith)

The Sinai MS. here joins the Parisian Rescript, and very many others in reading "you"; while the Alexandrian reads "us," and the Vatican and more than thirty cursives give "them," to which modern editors incline. Both the KJV and RV agree in adopting "you."
