+JUD	1	2	q2qo	figs-metaphor	ἔλεος…καὶ εἰρήνη, καὶ ἀγάπη πληθυνθείη.	1		Jude speaks of **mercy and peace and love** as if they were objects that could increase in size or numbers. If this is confusing in your language, you can use a different metaphor that means that these things will increase, or use plain language.

If this would be confusing in your language, you could translate this in a non-figurative way.

Paul addressed this kind of false teaching when he wrote in Romans 6:1-2a: “Should we continue in sin so that grace may abound?

-JUD	1	10	h6sq		οὗτοι	1	these people	the ungodly people
+JUD	1	4	tmju	figs-abstractnouns	εἰς ἀσέλγειαν	1		If it would be clearer in your language, you could express the idea behind the abstract noun **licentiousness** with an adjective phrase. Alternate translation: “into licentious behavior” (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-abstractnouns]])

-JUD	1	12	s4az			0	Connecting Statement:	Jude uses a series of metaphors to describe the ungodly men. He tells the believers how to recognize these men when they are among them.
+JUD	1	5	pg0e	figs-infostructure	ὑπομνῆσαι…ὑμᾶς βούλομαι, εἰδότας ὑμᾶς ἅπαξ πάντα	1		If it would be natural in your language, you could reverse the order of the first two clauses. Alternate translation: “you knowing all things once for all, I want to remind you” (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-infostructure]])
-JUD	1	12	r875		οὗτοί εἰσιν	1	These are	The word **These** refers to the “ungodly men” of [Jude 1:4](../01/04.md).
+JUD	1	5	fa5e	figs-explicit	πάντα	1		Here, **all things** refers specifically to all the information that Jude is going to remind his readers of. It does not mean everything there is to know about God or everything in general. If it would be clearer to your readers, you could say this explicitly.

-JUD	1	12	e25d	figs-metaphor	σπιλάδες	1	hidden reefs	**Reefs** are large rocks that are very close to the surface of water in the sea. Because sailors cannot see them, they are very dangerous. Ships can easily be destroyed if they hit these rocks. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
+JUD	1	5	xiss	translate-textvariants	ὅτι Ἰησοῦς	1		Here, some ancient manuscripts have, “that the Lord.” See the discussion of textual issues at the end of the Introduction to Jude to decide which phrase to use in your translation. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-textvariants]])
-JUD	1	12	zk57	figs-metaphor	δὶς ἀποθανόντα ἐκριζωθέντα	1	twice dead, having been torn up by the roots	A tree that someone has uprooted is a metaphor for death. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
+JUD	1	5	z1h9		λαὸν ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου σώσας	1		This could mean: (1) Jude is indicating the timing of the event described in this clause, in which case the timing is made clear by the occurrence of “afterward” in the next clause. (2) Jude is making a contrast between what Jesus did in this clause and what he did in the next. Alternate translation: “although he saved a people out of the land of Egypt” 
-JUD	1	12	t28p	figs-metaphor	ἐκριζωθέντα	1	having been torn up by the roots	Like trees that have been completely pulled out of the ground by their roots, the ungodly people have been separated from God, who is the source of life. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

-JUD	1	13	fgr9	figs-metaphor	ἐπαφρίζοντα τὰς ἑαυτῶν αἰσχύνας	1	foaming out their own shameful deeds	As wind causes wild waves to stir up dirty foam—so these men, through their false teaching and actions, shame themselves. Alternate translation: “and just as waves bring up foam and dirt, these men pollute others with their shame” (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
