Jude 19
They who make separations ( ο αποδιοριζοντες ). Present active articular participle of the double compound αποδιοριζω (from απο, δια, οριζω, ορος, boundary, to make a horizon), rare word, in Aristotle for making logical distinctions, here only in N.T. Διοριζω occurs in Le 20:24 and αφοριζω in Mt 25:32, etc. See αιρεσεις in 2Pe 2:1.Sensual ( ψυχικο ). Old adjective from ψυχη as in 1Co 2:14; 15:44; Jas 3:15. Opposed to πνευματικος. Not used by Peter.
Having not the Spirit ( πνευμα μη εχοντες ). Usual negative μη with the participle (present active of εχω ). Probably πνευμα here means the Holy Spirit, as is plain in verse 20. Cf. Ro 8:9.
