         DefinitionShort: a division or group based upon different doctrinal opinions and/or loyalties and hence by implication in certain contexts an unjustified party or group (applicable in the NT to religious parties)

         Glosses: ['religious party', 'sect']

         Comments: Compare αἵρεσις[b] in {D:33.241} where it means the content of false doctrines or teaching.|It is often difficult to find a term in a receptor language which designates primarily a religious party. Normally one must employ some type of phrase in which the various components of αἵρεσις[a] are somewhat redistributed. For example, in {S:04402600500022} the strictest party of our religion may be rendered as ‘those who have the strictest rules about the way they should worship God.’ Similarly, the wrong kind of religious party in {S:04402401400022} may be rendered as ‘the group of those who worship God in the wrong way.’
