The attitude of the one doing the preaching here ("with fear") is contrasted with the attitude of those who Jude is warning ( Jude 1:12 = "without fear" or "without reverence").
WE, the believer who is reaching out to those whose garments are "spotted" are the ones who should "fear" (be in reverence) is the message of Jude. |
But why should WE fear? Because we know they will be lost and destroyed in the lake of fire.
