3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you, of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you to exhort you, that ⟨image 129⟩you should earnestly contend for the maintenance of that faith, which was once given unto the Saints. 4 For there are certain men crept in which before of old were ordained to this condemnation: ungodly men they are, which turn the grace of our God into wantonness, and deny God the only Lord and our Lord Jesus Christ.

3 When I gave all diligence. I have translated the Greek [Greek or Hebrew] using diligence, it soundeth word for word to do diligence. Further, many interpreters do open this sentence thus: That an earnest endeavour did enforce Jude to write. As we are wont to say, that they which do burn with some earnest desire, can not stay them selves, therefore according to them, there was a necessity in this, that the desire to write, did not suffer Jude to be silent.
