Yehuda 1:20

20 But you, Chaverim, build yourselves up on what is kodesh kodeshim (most holy) of yours, your [correct, Orthodox Jewish] Emunah (Faith, v.3, the Emunah of the true Dat HaYehudit], davening in the Ruach Hakodesh.

Yehuda 1:20 Meaning and Commentary

Jude 1:20

But ye, beloved (See Gill on Jude 1:17);

building up yourselves on your most holy faith;
some copies, and the Complutensian edition, read, "our most holy faith"; meaning the doctrine of faith in all its branches, which is holy, a most holy doctrine; which displays the holiness of God, and is a means of beginning and increasing internal holiness in the saints, and of encouraging and exciting them to external holiness of life and conversation: this phrase, (avydq atwnmyhm) , "holy faith", is in use with the Jews ^F11: and it becomes the saints to build up one another upon this; the doctrine of faith, is a foundation to build upon, particularly what regards the person, offices, and grace of Christ, and is itself of an edifying nature; and they should not content themselves with their present knowledge of it, but seek for an improvement in it; and though they were passive when first built on Christ and his doctrines, and though ministers are greatly instruments in building of them up more and more; yet they are capable of building up themselves, and one another, by attending on the ministry of the word, and by private conversation, with each other, and particularly by

praying in the Holy Ghost;
which is a special means of increase and establishment in the doctrine of faith; the Holy Ghost is the author and enditer of prayer, and an assister in it; without him saints cannot call God their Father, nor pray with faith and fervency, or with freedom and liberty.

Yehuda 1:20 In-Context

18 Because they were telling you that at Acharit HaYamim (the End of Days), there will be leitzim (scoffers, TEHILLIM 1:1) walking according to their ta’avot (lusts) without yireshakoved.

19 These [men] are the ones causing division, worldly men, not having the Ruach Hakodesh.

20 But you, Chaverim, build yourselves up on what is kodesh kodeshim (most holy) of yours, your [correct, Orthodox Jewish] Emunah (Faith, v.3, the Emunah of the true Dat HaYehudit], davening in the Ruach Hakodesh.

21 Keep yourselves in the Ahavas Hashem, awaiting the rachamim of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu Yehoshua unto Chayei Olam.

22 To those who are wavering, show rachamim; others, deliver, snatching them out of the Eish [Olam, YESHAYAH 66:24].
