Jude
Jude 1:24ESV·traditional attribution

Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy,

John Calvin Reformed

Our warnings and labors mean nothing unless God's power attends them. He alone keeps you from stumbling and presents you unblemished before His glory, and in praising Him we acknowledge His sovereign power, His omnipotence to effect His purpose, and His greatness in all that constitutes true greatness.

Matthew Henry Presbyterian

Here, I. The apostle enlarges further on the character of these evil men and seducers: they are murmurers, complainers, etc., Jde 1:16. Observe, A murmuring complaining temper, indulged and expressed, lays men under a very bad character; such are very weak at least, and for the most part very wicked.

Commenting on Jude 1:16-25

John Gill Reformed Baptist

Christ alone keeps believers from falling, not angels, not Adam in innocence, certainly not sinful men kept by their own strength. You cannot keep yourselves; you lack both skill and power. He was given this work, undertook it, and is every way qualified, for His glory in your salvation depends on it.
