Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Jude 1:20

_ _ Resuming Jude 1:17.

_ _ building up yourselves — the opposite to the “separate themselves” (Jude 1:19): as “in the Holy Ghost” is opposed to “having not the Spirit.”

_ _ on — as on a foundation. Building on THE FAITH is equivalent to building on Christ, the object of faith.

_ _ praying in the Holy Ghost — (Romans 8:26; Ephesians 6:18). The Holy Spirit teaches what we are to pray for, and how. None can pray aright save by being in the Spirit, that is, in the element of His influence. Chrysostom states that, among the charisms bestowed at the beginning of the New Testament dispensation, was the gift of prayer, bestowed on someone who prayed in the name of the rest, and taught others to pray. Moreover, their prayers so conceived and often used, were received and preserved among Christians, and out of them forms of prayer were framed. Such is the origin of liturgies [Hammond].

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Jude 1:16-25.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Jude 1:20

But ye, beloved, not separating, but building yourselves up in your most holy faith — Than which none can be more holy in itself, or more conducive to the most refined and exalted holiness. Praying through the Holy Spirit — Who alone is able to build you up, as he alone laid the foundation. In this and the following verse St. Jude mentions the Father, Son, and Spirit, together with faith, love, and hope.
