Jude 1:22

Verse 22. And on some have compassion.

While it is our duty to do all in our power to save sinners, the common version says that in our efforts a difference is to be made. Here, I confess, for a time I was greatly puzzled, and am not certain that I have reached the correct solution, yet I believe that I now grasp the idea the Holy Spirit, by the pen of the apostle, would have me entertain. Before, however, presenting my views as to the meaning intended, I shall lay before the reader some of the versions at hand, after introducing the succeeding verse, so that the whole subject may be before the mind.
