‏ 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.
