Study Lenses

The verse centers on "haue", "compassion", "some", "putting", and "difference". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "haue" and "compassion", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.

The nearby context moves from verse 21's "And keepe your selues in the loue..." into verse 23's "And other saue with feare pulling them...", so "haue" and "compassion" belong inside that flow. In Jude context, the local focus is Christ, faith, and discipleship.

A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "haue" and "compassion" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
