Jude 1:17

"But you, beloved, remember the words which have been spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ."

Key Reflection

This verse encourages believers to hold onto the teachings of the apostles, reminding them that these foundational truths were not just contemporary but rooted in the past—echoes of the original apostolic witness. By remembering these words, Jude emphasizes the enduring relevance and reliability of apostolic doctrine amidst the challenges faced by early Christian communities.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Verses 17, 18. But, beloved, remember ye, etc. There is a striking similarity between these two verses and 2 Pe 3:1-3. It occurs in the same connexion, following the description of the false and dangerous teachers against whom the apostle would guard them, and couched almost in the same words. See it explained in Notes on the similar passage in Peter.
