• Do you know what God's thoughts about Christianity are? that the best thing He ever gave is corrupted? And are you spending all your energy to lead the people of God out of the evil? And why? Because we should be the expression of what God is. (“The Antidote to Existing Evils” by G.V. Wigram)
• Not merely the principle you are to hate, but even the spot of the flesh, the least connection with it. (“The Antidote to Existing Evils” by G.V. Wigram)
• These then are the three classes: a disputatious class, to be convicted and silenced—then, those that are to be saved, snatched out of the fire—and, others to be compassionated with fear, hating the garment spotted by the flesh. So that this all tends to complete the picture of the danger to souls. (“Lectures on Jude 22-23” by W. Kelly)
• These then are the three classes: a disputatious class, to be convicted and silenced—then, those that are to he saved, snatched out of the fire—and, others to be compassionated with fear, hating the garment spotted by the flesh. So that this all tends to complete the picture of the danger to souls. There is the all-importance of grace in the midst of it, but the truth maintained in all its power. (“Lectures on Jude 22-23” by W. Kelly)
• We must also distinguish between those who are led away. There are some who are only drawn aside by others, others in whom the lusts of a corrupt heart are working; and where we see the latter we must manifest hatred to everything that testifies this corruption, as a thing that is unbearable. (“JUDE” by J.N. Darby)

• There are others again, occupying another position, who are to be saved with fear, "pulling them out of the fire." These have gone far in self-will and corruption, and thus it is only as in communion with God about them and their deeds that their case can be reached; for, while using all energy for their deliverance, even the garment spotted with the flesh must be hated.

g
The sense of this passage is much disputed and depends on conflicting manuscripts. I have left it as generally taken (see A.V.), but am disposed to think that the word translated "have compassion" should be omitted, in which case the passage would read. "And some who dispute correct; and some save, snatching them out of the fire with fear, hating," etc. Perhaps this is the best reading. He tells them in fact to make a difference. If men contested, he put them to silence; if not, he saved them with fear, snatching them out of the fire, hating every trace of evil.

W. Kelly Translation

others save, pulling them out of [the] firea; and others pity with fear, hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.

According to the weightiest authorities, it would seem, on the whole that it should stand thus: Kai hous men elegchete diakrinomenous, hous de sōzete ek pyros harpazontes, hous de eleate en phobō, misountes kai ton apo tēs sarkos espilōmenon chitōna. "And some convict when contending, but others save, snatching them from the fire, and others compassionate in fear, hating even the garment that is spotted by the flesh." It is curious that Dr. E. Wells, in his "Help for the more easy and clear understanding of the Holy Scriptures" (published at Oxford, in 1715), adopted this text substantially, which he thus translated: "And some being wavering, rebuke; and others save, pulling them out of the fire; and of others have compassion with fear," etc.
