On Paul’s Use Of The Word “Heretic” In Titus 3:10

“Titus 3:10. [Heretick] A heretic, to St. Paul, was never one who held erroneous opinions only, but one whose error sprang from moral crookedness, issuing at last in evil life. There seems always a sensual element in what St. Paul calls heresy; for he classes it with the sins of the flesh (Galatians 5:20). The heresies of the Corinthian Church were moral rather than intellectual (1 Corinthians 11:19). Ephesians 4:18 exactly describes heresy, though the word itself is not mentioned. It is not important, but interesting to note that the word ’heretic’ occurs only here in the NT.”
