{Turning into ashes} ( ephr(9373)as). First aorist participle
of ephro(935c), late word from ephra, ashes (in Dio Cassius of
an eruption of Vesuvius, Philo), here alone in N.T. {The cities
of Sodom and Gomorrah} (poleis Sodom(936e) kai Gomorr(8373)). Genitive
of apposition after poleis (cities), though it makes sense as
possessive genitive, for Jude 1:7 speaks of the cities around
these two. The third example, the cities of the plain. See Ge
19:24f . {Condemned them} (katekrinen). First aorist active
indicative of katakrin(935c), still part of the protasis with ei.
{With an overthrow} (katastroph(8869)). Instrumental case or even
dative like hanat(9369) with katakrin(935c) in Mt 20:18 . But
Westcott and Hort reject the word here because not in B C Coptic.
{Having made them} ( etheik(9373)). Perfect active participle of
ith(886d)i. {An example} (hupodeigma). For which see Jas 5:10 Joh 13:15 . Cf. 1Pe 2:21 . {Unto those that should live ungodly}
(mellont(936e) asebesin). Rather, "unto ungodly men of things about
to be" (see Heb 11:20 for this use of mellont(936e)). But Aleph A
C K L read asebein (present active infinitive) with
mellont(936e)=aseb(8873)ont(936e) (future active participle of asebe(935c)),
from which we have our translation.
