This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
23. οὓς δὲ ἐλεᾶτε ἐν φόβῳ, μισοῦντες κ.τ.λ. In the reference to the garment there may be again a recollection of Zechariah 3, where the High Priest is clad in filthy garments.

The threefold division marks a growth of danger. The first class of those who have come under the influence of the false teachers are waverers. These the faithful are to dispute with, and convince. The next are in the fire and must be snatched out. The third cannot be touched without danger: perhaps all that can be done is to pity them.
