Once for All Delivered
A Greek Word Study of the Letter of Jude
Jude’s twenty-five verses are among the most urgent in the New Testament: a short, fierce letter pleading with the church to “contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints” (Jude 3). It is also one of the least-taught books in Scripture — dense with Old Testament allusion, sharp in its warnings, and easy to skip.
Once for All Delivered walks the whole letter through its Greek, term by term, for readers with little or no Greek as much as for those who have some. The aim is not technical display but clarity: to let Jude’s words land with the weight they carried, and to show how a confessional reading hears law and gospel even in a letter this stern.
It is free — a manuscript-length study to read on your own or to open with a class, free for congregational use. If it serves you, Ordinary Means is where new material is announced first.
Several of Jude’s key words have full entries in the free Greek Word Explorer — including pistis, charis, agapē, pneuma, and doxa.
Who it's for
