Contextual Overview
15 to judge everyone. He will punish all those who are against him for all the evil they have done in their lack of respect for him. Yes, the Lord will punish all these sinners who don't honor him. He will punish them for all the evil things they have said against him." 16 These people always complain and find wrong in others. They always do the evil things they want to do. They boast about themselves. The only reason they say good things about others is to get what they want. 17 Dear friends, remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ said would happen. 18 They told you, "In the last times there will be people who laugh at God and do only what they want to do—things that are against God." 19 These are the people who divide you. They are not spiritual, because they don't have the Spirit. 20 But you, dear friends, use your most holy faith to build yourselves up even stronger. Pray with the help of the Holy Spirit. 21 Keep yourselves safe in God's love, as you wait for the Lord Jesus Christ in his mercy to give you eternal life. 22 Help those who have doubts. 23 Rescue those who are living in danger of hell's fire. There are others you should treat with mercy, but be very careful that their filthy lives don't rub off on you. 24 God is strong and can keep you from falling. He can bring you before his glory without any wrong in you and give you great joy.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
But, beloved, remember ye ... - There is a striking similarity between these two verses and 2 Peter 3:1-3. It occurs in the same connection, following the description of the false and dangerous teachers against whom the apostle would guard them, and couched almost in the same words. See it explained in the notes at the similar passage in Peter. When Jude (Jude 1:17) entreats them to remember the words which were spoken by âthe apostles,â it is not necessarily to be inferred that he was not himself an apostle, for he is speaking of what was past, and there might have been a special reason why he should refer to something that they would distinctly remember which had been spoken by the âotherâ apostles on this point. Or it might be that he meant also to include himself among them, and to speak of the apostles collectively, without particularly specifying himself.
Mockers - The word rendered âmockersâ here is the same which in the parallel place in 2 Peter 3:3 is rendered âscoffers.â Peter has stated more fully what was the particular subject on which they scoffed, and has shown that there was no occasion for it 2 Peter 3:4, following.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Jude 1:18. Mockers in the last time — See the notes on 1 Timothy 4:1; 2 Timothy 3:1, c. and particularly 2 Peter 3:2-3, &c., to which Jude seems to refer.
The last time. - The conclusion of the Jewish polity.
