These generally mean “among Christians.” They are spoken of in Rom. 16:17, 1 Cor. 3:3 and enumerated among the works of the flesh in Gal. 5:20 (seditions). Also spoken of under another word in 1 Cor. 1:10; 11:18, 12:25 (schism). By their occurrence thus early in the Church’s history we have the divine judgment of them as evil, and contrary to the unity of the body of Christ.
