Bible Note: "Be tender with sinners, but not soft on sin." - - - - - - - - - - - - - Just Read Mark: THE MESSAGE "Be tender with sinners, but not soft on sin." I would say this paraphrase gets right to the heart of the meaning of the verse. Also, I find these two translations to be helpful in clarifying the meaning of Jude 1:22-23. GOD'S WORD Translation Jude1 22 Show mercy to those who have doubts. 23 Save others by snatching them from the fire [of hell]. Show mercy to others, even though you are afraid that you might be stained by their sinful lives. New Living Translation (NLT) Jude 1 22 Show mercy to those whose faith is wavering. 23 Rescue others by snatching them from the flames of judgment. There are still others to whom you need to show mercy, but be careful that you aren't contaminated by their sins. Grace and peace, Radioman2 |
