men who slyly work their way into households: Such corrupt men were among those “having an appearance of godliness but proving false to its power.” (2Ti 3:5) The Greek verb rendered “slyly work their way into” conveys the idea of entering through devious means or pretense. It could also be rendered “slip into; infiltrate.” These sly men may have tried to entice “weak women” into immoral conduct.
weak women loaded down with sins: Paul here refers to certain women in the congregation who were weak spiritually; they did not hate what is bad. As a result, they were led by various desires, possibly in the sense that sinful desires weighed heavily on them. Wicked men could easily captivate such women or influence their thinking. Perhaps these men slyly suggested that these women could count on a merciful God to excuse sinful conduct.—Jude 4.
