Jude:1:24
rwp@Jude:1:24 @{From stumbling} (\aptaistous\). Verbal from \ptai\, to stumble (James:3:2; strkjv@2Peter:1:10|), sure-footed as of a horse that does not stumble (Xenophon), and so of a good man (Epictetus, Marcus Antoninus). {Before the presence of his glory} (\katenpion ts doxs autou\). Late compound preposition (\kata, en, ps\), right down before the eye of his glory as in strkjv@Ephesians:1:4|. Cf. strkjv@Matthew:25:31-33; strkjv@Colossians:1:22|, where Paul has \parastsai\ like \stsai\ here (first aorist active infinitive) and also \ammous\ as here, but \ammtos\ in strkjv@2Peter:3:14|. {In exceeding joy} (\en agalliasei\). See strkjv@Luke:1:14|.
