| 1 | Strong's Number: g139 | Greek: hairesis |
Heresy:
denotes
(a) "a choosing, choice" (from haireomai, "to choose"); then, "that which is chosen," and hence, "an opinion," especially a self-willed opinion, which is substituted for submission to the power of truth, and leads to division and the formation of sects, Gal 5:20 (marg., "parties"); such erroneous opinions are frequently the outcome of personal preference or the prospect of advantage; see 2Pe 2:1, where "destructive" (RV) signifies leading to ruin; some assign even this to (b); in the papyri the prevalent meaning is "choice" (Moulton and Milligan, Vocab.);
(b) "a sect;" this secondary meaning, resulting from (a), is the dominating significance in the NT, Act 5:17; 15:5; 24:5, 14; 26:5; 28:22; "heresies" in 1Cr 11:19 (see marg.).
See SECT.
