Study note
Setting — Jude concludes the citation of Enoch’s prophecy, addressing his readers with the declaration that the Lord’s arrival will trigger immediate divine reckoning.
The words — ποιῆσαι (poiēsai) translates as “to carry out,” and ἐλέγξαι (elegxai) translates as “to convict,” denoting the active execution of judgment against the ungodly.
The thread — The certainty of God’s final examination runs through Romans 14:10 and 1 Corinthians 4:5, where the text commands believers to defer human verdicts until the Lord reveals hidden matters.
Why it lands — The verse states that every wicked act and defiant word will be objectively judged by God, which demands the reader abandon self-defense and submit to divine authority.
