Jude1:15
15 To execute judgment upon all , and to convince all that are ungodly among them , of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.
Either upon all the wicked in general, who afterwards may seem to be distinguished into different sorts, or else the Greek Preposition Kata is put for Peri, and the word all is to be understood of all university, good and bad; and the words may be read to execute Iudgment over all, i. e. to judg all.
If we take the words in the latter [illegible: 1 letter]ense mentioned, then he distinguisheth those that are to be judged into good and bad, and the Lord comes to execute Judgment over all, having convinced the wicked among them; but if in the former, the ungodly here may be taken for those that are more notoriously so, those that have obstinately rejected the Gospel, or wickedly perverted it, or persecuted the Saints, &c.
i. e. with an ungodly Mind, willingly, delightfully, perseveringly.
i. e. Blasphemous, Irreverent, against God, his Truth and Ways.
He executes Judgment, though upon all the Wicked, yet especially upon these ungodly Sinners, i. e, that are such both in their Words and Deeds against him, in his Truth▪ Ways, Ordinances, People, &c. and therefore are the worst of Sinners.
