EXPLANATION

Verse 1. Lying teachers among you, some of which were already come, and many more were to follow, who shall bring in sects, [1] (heresies) leading to perdition, and deny the Lord who bought them, denying the divinity of Jesus Christ, our Redeemer; such were the disciples of Simon, and many after them. Witham.—Sects of perdition; that is, heresies destructive of salvation. Challoner.
