Commentary
But; beloved . . . ye--in contrast to those reprobates, Jde 1:20, again. remember--implying that his readers had been contemporaries of the apostles. For Peter uses the very same formula in reminding the contemporaries of himself and the other apostles. spoken before--spoken already before now. the apostles--Peter (see on Pe2 3:2-3), and Paul before Peter (Act 20:29; Ti1 4:1; Ti2 3:1). Jude does not exclude himself from the number of the apostles here, for in Jde 1:18, immediately after, he says, "they told You," not us (rather as Greek, "used to tell you" implying that Jude's readers were contemporaries of the apostles, who used to tell them).
