But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.
But these people trash talk things they don't even understand. The only things they do get are basic instincts, like animals, and that's exactly what ends up destroying them.
Don't let ignorance and instincts be your downfall, stay curious and stay wise.
📚 Historical Context
Jude's letter was written in the first century AD by Jude, the brother of James and half-brother of Jesus, to warn early Christian communities about false teachers who were sneaking into the church and spreading immoral ideas. In this verse, Jude criticizes these individuals for slandering spiritual truths they don't understand, while only trusting their basic animal-like instincts, which ultimately leads to their own moral downfall. This reflects the broader cultural challenges of the time, where early believers faced infiltration by deceptive influences that echoed Old Testament warnings about rebellion and ignorance.
