"Envyings" ( Galatians 5:21 ) are even without advantage to the person himself [BENGEL]. wrath — Greek, plural, "passionate outbreaks" [ALFORD]. strife —rather as Greek, "factions," "cabals"; derived from a Greek root, meaning "a worker for hire": hence, unworthy means for compassing ends, factious practices. seditions —"dissensions," as to secular matters. heresies —as to sacred things (see on Galatians 5:21- : ).
