No doubt there have to be differences among you to show which of you have God’s approval.

Do you really think you need to take sides? You probably think God favors one side over the other!

for there must be factions among you in order that those who are genuine among you may be recognized.

But, of course, there must be divisions among you so that you who have God’s approval will be recognized!

Indeed, it is necessary that there be factions among you, so that those who are approved may be recognized among you.

For there also have to be factions among you, so that those who are approved may become evident among you.

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

There must, indeed, be factions among you, so that those who are approved may be recognized among you.

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

For there must in fact be divisions among you, so that those of you who are approved may be evident.

For there also must be factions among you, that those who are approved may be revealed among you.

They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out that they might be made manifest, that none of them were of us.

Reject a divisive man after the first and second admonition,

you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams, for the Lord your God is testing you to know whether you love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

Also from among yourselves men will rise up, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after themselves.

Then He said to the disciples,“ It is impossible that no offenses should come, but woe to him through whom they do come!

Woe to the world because of offenses! For offenses must come, but woe to that man by whom the offense comes!

Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?— unless indeed you are disqualified.But I trust that you will know that we are not disqualified.Now I pray to God that you do no evil, not that we should appear approved, but that you should do what is honorable, though we may seem disqualified.

But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction.And many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed.

Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons,speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron,

idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies,

For we have found this man a plague, a creator of dissension among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes.

( yes, a sword will pierce through your own soul also), that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.”

They knew me from the first, if they were willing to testify, that according to the strictest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee.

Then the high priest rose up, and all those who were with him( which is the sect of the Sadducees), and they were filled with indignation,

But some of the sect of the Pharisees who believed rose up, saying,“ It is necessary to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.”

But we desire to hear from you what you think; for concerning this sect, we know that it is spoken against everywhere.”

But this I confess to you, that according to the Way which they call a sect, so I worship the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the Law and in the Prophets.
