all earnestness making /to_be/_writing ˱to˲_you_all

This clause could refer to: (1) that fact that Jude had intended to write about something different than this letter is about. Alternate translation: [although making every effort to write to you] (2) the time when Jude was writing. Alternate translation: [when making every effort to write to you]

περὶ τῆς κοινῆς ἡμῶν σωτηρίας

Alternate translation: [concerning the salvation we share]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

παρακαλῶν ἐπαγωνίζεσθαι τῇ & πίστει

παρακαλῶν ἐπαγωνίζεσθαι τῇ & πίστει

exhorting_‹you› /to_be/_contending ˱for˲_the & faith

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

τῇ ἅπαξ παραδοθείσῃ τοῖς ἁγίοις πίστει

˱for˲_the once /having_been/_given_over ˱to˲_the holy_‹ones› faith

ἅπαξ

once

Here, once for all expresses the idea of something that was done only once and never again. The meaning of for all is “for all time.” It does not mean “for the sake of all people.”
