The Hapax Legomenon in Jude 3 – a sermon excerpt

This is an excerpt from my sermon on Jude 1-4, to watch the whole sermon click here.

If we want a healthy Christianity, we must do the following. Engage in Biblical apologetics (apologia). Obey the hapax legomenon to earnestly contend for the faith (epagōnizomai) and sound doctrine (hugiainō). The Greek application means to struggle with intensity, to agonize as a combatant. And we do so for our spiritual well-being and healthier church (1 Pet 3:15, Jude 3, Titus 2:1). But be ready. You might wrongfully be called unloving or ungraceful. Semper Reformanda!
