In the early church, unity was crucial for the spread of the Gospel and the strength of the Christian community. The act of causing divisions is often linked to false teachings or heretical beliefs, which were prevalent in the early church era. The Apostle Paul also warns against such divisive individuals in <a href="/romans/16-17.htm">Romans 16:17</a>, emphasizing the need for believers to be vigilant and to avoid those who disrupt the harmony of the church. The emphasis on unity reflects Jesus' prayer for His followers in <a href="/john/17-21.htm">John 17:21</a>, where He desires that they be one, just as He and the Father are one.<p><b>who are worldly</b><br>The term "worldly" refers to those who are focused on earthly, material, and fleshly desires rather than spiritual matters. This aligns with the biblical concept of the "world" as a system opposed to God, as seen in 1 <a href="/john/2-15.htm">John 2:15-17</a>, where believers are warned not to love the world or anything in it. The worldly mindset is characterized by a lack of spiritual discernment and an emphasis on temporal pleasures and values. This contrasts with the call for Christians to be transformed by the renewing of their minds (<a href="/romans/12-2.htm">Romans 12:2</a>) and to set their minds on things above (<a href="/colossians/3-2.htm">Colossians 3:2</a>).<p><b>and devoid of the Spirit</b><br>Being "devoid of the Spirit" indicates a lack of the Holy Spirit's presence and influence in one's life. In the New Testament, the Holy Spirit is essential for guiding, teaching, and empowering believers (<a href="/john/14-26.htm">John 14:26</a>, <a href="/acts/1-8.htm">Acts 1:8</a>). The absence of the Spirit suggests that these individuals are not true followers of Christ, as the indwelling of the Holy Spirit is a mark of genuine faith (<a href="/romans/8-9.htm">Romans 8:9</a>). This phrase underscores the importance of the Spirit in producing the fruit of the Spirit (<a href="/galatians/5-22.htm">Galatians 5:22-23</a>) and living a life that pleases God. The lack of the Spirit results in a life driven by the flesh, which is contrary to the life of a believer who walks by the Spirit (<a href="/galatians/5-16.htm">Galatians 5:16-17</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/jude.htm">Jude</a></b><br>The author of the epistle, traditionally identified as Jude, the brother of James and half-brother of Jesus.

In three bold strokes it gives a representation of them which is at once the sharpest and the broadest of all. This final description, too, at last lays bare the root of their hopeless corruption. <span class="cmt_word">These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.</span> The pronoun "themselves" cannot be retained in face of the weight of documentary evidence against it. The verb (which is one of very rare occurrence) is held to be capable of more than one sense - <span class="accented">seceding, causing divisions, creating factions, making definitions</span> or <span class="accented">distinctions.</span> The most natural meaning seems to be that adopted by the Revised Version, <span class="accented">they who make separations.</span> So Tyndale; Cranmer and the Genevan have "these are makers of sects," and Luther gives "makers of factions." It may be that they caused divisions by setting themselves up as the only enlightened Christians, and, on the ground of that enlightenment, claiming to be superior to the moral laws which bound others. The term translated "sensual" has unfortunately no proper representative in English. It is "psychical," being formed from the noun <span class="accented">psyche</span>, which is rendered "life" or "soul." This <span class="accented">psyche</span> is intermediate between "body" and "spirit." It is in the first instance simply the bond or principle of the animal life, and in the second instance it is <span class="accented">embodied</span> life. Thus it is that in man which he has in common with the brute creation beneath him, But it becomes also more than this, expressing that in man which renders him capable of connection with God. For in the third instance it denotes the seat of feeling, desire, affection, and emotion; the center of the personal life - the self in man. The adjective itself occurs in the New Testament only in a few passages of marked importance - <a href="/1_corinthians/2-14.htm">1 Corinthians 2:14</a>; <a href="/1_corinthians/15-44.htm">1 Corinthians 15:44, 46</a>; <a href="/james/3-15.htm">James 3:15</a>; and the present verse. Here it designates the men as men who live only for the natural self - men who make the sensuous nature, with its appetites and passions, the law of their life; <span class="accented">natural</span> or <span class="accented">animal</span> men, as the Revised Version gives it in the margin. Wickliffe renders it "beastly;" Tyndale, Cranmer, and the Genevan, "fleshly;" the Rhemish, "sensual." The third clause admits of being rendered either "having not the spirit" (in which the Authorized is supported by Wickliffe, Tyndale, and Cranmer), or "having not the Spirit" (so the Revised Version, following the Genevan and the Rhemish). For it is in many passages difficult to decide whether the word "spirit" means the Holy Spirit of God or man's own spirit - that in him in virtue of which he can have fellowship with the Divine, and on which God specially acts; "that highest and noblest part of man," as Luther puts it, "which qualifies him to lay hold of incomprehensible, invisible things, eternal things; in short... the house where faith and God's Word are at home." The rendering of the Revised Version is favoured by the occurrence of the term in the following verse. The Spirit of God was not in the lives or the thoughts of these men, and hence they were creators of division, and sensual. Their pretension was that they were the eminently spiritual. But in refusing the Divine Spirit they had sunk to the level of an animal life, immoral in itself, and productive of confusion to the Church. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/jude/1-19.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div><span class="word">These</span><br /><span class="grk">Οὗτοί</span> <span class="translit">(Houtoi)</span><br /><span class="parse">Demonstrative Pronoun - Nominative Masculine Plural<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/greek/strongs_3778.htm">Strong's 3778: </a> </span><span class="str2">This; he, she, it. </span><br /><br /><span class="word">are</span><br /><span class="grk">εἰσιν</span> <span class="translit">(eisin)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Present Indicative Active - 3rd Person Plural<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/greek/strongs_1510.htm">Strong's 1510: </a> </span><span class="str2">I am, exist.
