1 Corinthians 11:19 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

There must be also heresies— There must be even heresies. Hence it seems evident, that heresy is spoken of as something worse than the schisms or divisions mentioned 1 Corinthians 11:18 but whether it be an evil entirely of a different kind, or only of a higher degree, is not so clear from this passage. The word 'Αιρεσις may probably here signify a party of people separated from their brethren, and forming what is called a distinct denomination; whereas there may be a schism without separation, if the people assembling together have uncharitable contentionswith each other; which was the case with these schismatical Corinthians. See Doddridge

1 Corinthians 11:19

19 For there must be also heresiese among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you.
