Jude 1:19 meaning and explanation

These are the ones who cause divisions, who are worldly and devoid of the Spirit.

Jude 1:19, Berean Standard Bible

The Greek word behind "cause divisions" means those who separate or set boundaries, and Jude calls them worldly, literally "soulish" (psychikoi), meaning governed by natural life rather than by the Spirit.
