10. heretic--Greek "heresy," originally meant a
division resulting from individual self-will; the individual
doing and teaching what he chose, independent of the teaching
and practice of the Church. In course of time it came to mean
definitely "heresy" in the modern sense; and in the later Epistles it
has almost assumed this meaning. The heretics of Crete, when Titus was
there, were in doctrine followers of their own self-willed "questions"
reprobated in
Tit 3:9,
and immoral in practice.
reject--decline, avoid; not formal excommunication, but, "have
nothing more to do with him," either in admonition or intercourse.
