How terrible for them. This is the kind of language Jesus uses in Matthew 23:13-15. That Cain took. Cain was selfish, jealous, and showed his hate by murdering his brother. That Balaam committed. See 2 Peter 2:15-16. As Korah rebelled. Numbers 16:1-35. He opposed the appointment of the family of Aaron to the priesthood. Jude sees the actions of the false teachers described in these three examples. They are motivated by hate and selfishness, by greed and love of money, and they reject God's authority and the ones He has chosen to be teachers.
