Non-Calvinists, and some other Calvinists say that "Lord" here, refers to Christ, as it does in Jude 4. The commentator Blum says this is Christ because of the identity of the "them", and the noun "the people" is too distant compared to the preceding noun "the false teachers. The commentator Edmond Hiebert in Second Peter and Jude says it is Christ.
Watu wasiokuwa Wakalvanisti, na baadhi ya Wakalvanisti wanasema kuwa "Bwana" hapa inamaanisha Kristo, kama ilivyo kwenye Yuda 4. Mtoa ufafanuzi wa Maandiko aitwaye Blum anasema maneno haya yanamwongelea Kristo kwa sababu utambulisho wa pronomino "wale" na nomino "watu" uko mbali sana kulinganisha na nomino inayotangulia "waalimu wa uongo."
