• They are called "dreamers," indicating that, as not being guided by the truth, all their thoughts and speculations, their hopes and confidence, were but idle dreams….The power of God is not in these, nor the restraints of His grace, in a renewed nature; consequently there is no curb to licentiousness, nor any yoke or chain for the pride which disdains the restraints of authority and spurns with irreverence and contempt everything that is above itself. (“The Epistle of Jude”)
• I do not know any reason for putting in the word "filthy." You will see the word is in italics. There is a great deal of wickedness where there is nothing wrong in word. It is only in the idea, there may be nothing offensive, yet it is sapping and undermining all that is precious in those people who live in the imagination of their own hearts instead of being guided by the word of God. (“Jude 6-8” by W. Kelly)
• Dreamers; for the truth is not in them. The two principles which we have noticed are developed in them: filthiness of the flesh and contempt for authority. (“JUDE” by J.N. Darby)
• They were indeed dreamers, walking after the imaginations of their own hearts, and thereby lulled into a false security even while the storm of judgment was already gathering over their heads. (article #86573)
• Everywhere in Scripture a lofty religious profession, which is without reality, is always associated with abominable sins. (See Matt. 23:25-28; 2 Tim. 3:1-5; Titus 1:15,16, etc.) (article #86573)
• "Despise dominion." This expresses the full development of self-will in man, asserting himself and his rights, and at the same time refusing to acknowledge any superior authority. (article #86573)
• Speaking "railingly" against dignities. It is the full license of the tongue of those who have no veneration for God or man, (article #86573)
• Filthy dreams instead of the revelation of God; (“The Character of the Evil: Jude 1:5-10” by H. Smith)
• The body defiled rather than being used for the glory of God. (“The Character of the Evil: Jude 1:5-10” by H. Smith)
• Lordship despised in place of submission to the authority of Christ. (“The Character of the Evil: Jude 1:5-10” by H. Smith)
• Dignities railed against in place of due recognition. (“The Character of the Evil: Jude 1:5-10” by H. Smith)
• Evil spoken of spiritual things and natural things corrupted. (“The Character of the Evil: Jude 1:5-10” by H. Smith)
• Here then we have all the elements that mark corrupt Christendom. (“The Character of the Evil: Jude 1:5-10” by H. Smith)

J. N. Darby Translation

Yet in like manner these dreamers also defile the flesh, and despise lordship, and speak railingly against dignities.

W. Kelly Translation

+
8
Yet likewise, these dreamersa also defile fleshb, and set at nought lordship and rail at dignities.

WK Translation Notes

+
a
The Revisers rightly give us "yet," and drop "filthy," which is implied in the context, as they represent well the anarthrous force of houtoi enypn., which can hardly bear "these dreamers," but means rather "these in their dreams," or "dreaming as they do."
b
It is not spiritual defilement, but fleshly. "The" makes it too concrete, as in all the old English versions.
