Romans 16:17

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause the divisions and offences ( τὰ σκάνδαλα, meaning "causes of stumbling." Both the words have the article, so as to denote things known of) contrary to the doctrine which ye learned; and avoid them; rather, turn away from them; i.

e. shun them; have nothing to do with them. The allusion seems to be, not to persons within the Church, but rather to outsiders, who come with new notions to disturb its peace.
