Here at <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070713/3/0" data-bid="4-1" class="b">Ac 24:5</a>, it is used figuratively about a person perceived to be “a pest,” one who causes problems, a troublemaker or public menace.</p> <p id="p8" data-pid="8" class="s5"><strong>the inhabited earth:</strong> See <a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1001070713/2/0">study note on Lu 2:1</a>.</p> <p id="p9" data-pid="9" class="s5"><strong>sect:</strong> The Greek word here rendered “sect,” <em>haiʹre·sis</em> (from which the English word “heresy” is derived), apparently had the original meaning “a choice.” That is how the word is used at <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070713/4/0" data-bid="5-1" class="b">Le 22:18</a> in the <a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1001070713/3/0"><em>Septuagint</em></a><em>,</em> which speaks about Israelites offering gifts “according to all their choice.” As used in the <a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1001070713/4/0">Christian Greek Scriptures</a>, this term refers to a group of people holding to distinctive views or doctrines. It is used to describe the two prominent branches of Judaism—the Pharisees and the Sadducees. (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070713/5/0" data-bid="6-1" class="b">Ac 5:17;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070713/5/1" data-bid="6-2" class="b"> 15:5;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070713/5/2" data-bid="6-3" class="b"> 26:5</a>) Non-Christians called Christianity “a sect” or “the sect of the Nazarenes,” possibly viewing it as a breakaway group from Judaism. (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070713/6/0" data-bid="7-1" class="b">Ac 24:5,</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070713/6/1" data-bid="7-2" class="b"> 14;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070713/6/2" data-bid="7-3" class="b"> 28:22</a>) The Greek word <em>haiʹre·sis</em> was also applied to groups that developed within the Christian congregation. Jesus emphasized and prayed that unity would prevail among his followers (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070713/7/0" data-bid="8-1" class="b">Joh 17:21</a>), and the apostles sought to preserve the oneness of the Christian congregation (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070713/8/0" data-bid="9-1" class="b">1Co 1:10;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070713/8/1" data-bid="9-2" class="b"> Jude 17-19</a>). If the members of the congregation separated into groups or factions, this would disrupt the unity. Therefore, in describing such groups, the Greek word <em>haiʹre·sis</em> came to be used in the negative sense of a faction or a divisive group, a sect. Disunity in belief could give rise to fierce disputing, dissension, and even enmity. (Compare <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070713/9/0" data-bid="10-1" class="b">Ac 23:7-10</a>.) So sects were to be avoided and were considered a manifestation of “the works of the flesh.”—<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070713/10/0" data-bid="11-1" class="b">Ga 5:19-21;</a><a
