This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Jud 1:15. Κρίσιν, judgment) Enoch looked forward beyond the deluge.-κατὰ πάντων, against all men) who have sinned. A general description (the genus).-ἐξελέγξαι,[8] to convince) The conviction, which there was even then, will be completed in the judgment. A process of conviction is employed against those who are unwilling to know.-πάντας τοὺς ἀσεβεῖς, all the ungodly) A particular description (the species).-ἐλάλησαν, have spoken) Jud 1:8; Jud 1:10.-κατʼ αὐτοῦ, against Himself) even though they had not thought that all their ungodly sayings [with which also the sons of the Lord and His servants are assailed, Job 42:7; Mal 3:13.-V. g.] were directed against Him.-ἁμαρτωλοὶ ἀσεβεῖς, ungodly sinners) A sinner is bad; ἀσεβὴς, one who sins without fear, is worse.
[8] However the simple ἐλέγξαι is considered preferable in the margin of both Ed.-E. B.
ABC Vulg. (“argucre”) read ἐλέγξαι: but Rec. Text, ἐξελέγξαι, with modern and cursive MSS.-E.
