Study Note
Jude's citation of Sodom and Gomorrah as 'set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire' deploys the classic Jewish typology of the Cities of the Plain (Genesis 19) as an enduring exemplum of divine judgment for sexual sin and violation of hospitality norms. The phrase 'going after strange flesh' (apelthousai opisō sarkos heteras) has been variously interpreted as referring to homosexual acts or to the attempted violation of the angelic visitors — the latter reading connects to the 'angels who kept not their first estate' of verse 6. Second Peter 2:6 echoes this verse, demonstrating the tradition of Sodom-as-eschatological-warning shared between the two letters and traceable to Wisdom 10:6 and 3 Maccabees 2:5. The verse has been extensively deployed in Christian discussions of sexual ethics and judgment while remaining exegetically contested.
