‏ 1 Corinthians 11:19

Must be ( δε εινα ). Since moral conditions are so bad among you (cf. chapters 1 to 6). Cf. Mt 18:7.

Heresies ( αιρεσεις ). The schisms naturally become

factions or

parties. Cf. strifes ( εριδες ) in 1:11. See on Ac 15:5 for αιρεσεις, a choosing, taking sides, holding views of one party, heresy (our word). "Heresy is theoretical schism, schism practical heresy." Cf. Tit 3:10; 2Pe 2:1. In Paul only here and Ga 5:20.

That ( ινα ). God's purpose in these factions makes

the proved ones ( ο δοκιμο ) become

manifest ( φανερο ). "These αιρεσεις are a magnet attracting unsound and unsettled minds" (Findlay). It has always been so. Instance so-called Christian Science, Russellism, New Thought, etc., today.
