Commentaries:
Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)
Heretical (airetikon). Old adjective from airesiv (aireomai, to choose), a choosing of a party (sect, Acts 5:17) or of teaching (II Peter 2:1). Possibly a schism had been started here in Crete.
Refuse (paraitou). Present middle imperative of paraitew, to ask from, to beg off from. See same form in I Timothy 4:7; I Timothy 5:11. Possibly an allusion here to Christ's directions in Matthew 18:15-17.
