‏ Jude 24

From stumbling ( απταιστους ). Verbal from πταιω, to stumble (Jas 3:2; 2Pe 1:10), sure-footed as of a horse that does not stumble (Xenophon), and so of a good man (Epictetus, Marcus Antoninus).

Before the presence of his glory ( κατενωπιον της δοξης αυτου ). Late compound preposition ( κατα, εν, ωπς ), right down before the eye of his glory as in Eph 1:4. Cf. Mt 25:31-33; Col 1:22, where Paul has παραστησα like στησα here (first aorist active infinitive) and also αμωμους as here, but αμωμητος in 2Pe 3:14.

In exceeding joy ( εν αγαλλιασε ). See Lu 1:14.
