Jude 1:25

The only wise God our Saviour] (cp. Romans 16:27 RV). RV 'the only God our Saviour.' God is called Saviour elsewhere in NT. only in 1 Timothy 1:1; 1 Timothy 2:3; 1 Timothy 4:10; Titus 1:3; Titus 2:10; Titus 3:4, and Luke 1:47; (from OT.). Now and ever] RV 'before all time, and now, and for evermore.' The word for 'be' is not expressed in the Gk., but may rightly be supplied, though at first sight it does not seem to go well with 'before all time' (RV). 'Is,' however, would be less forcible, for in this blessing St. Jude 'contends for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints.' Whatever ungodly men may think, he says, 'Let God's proper glory be rendered to Him.'
