| Titus 3:11
| Knowing that he that is such a one, is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned by his own judgment.
| Knowing that he that is such a one is subverted:{ Ver. 11. Subversus est, exestraptai, eversus est.|} a metaphor, from a house that is thrown down, even to the foundation, by the Greek. He speaks of heretics whose obstinacy seems evident, for no one is properly a heretic but who is obstinate in his errors. --- And sinneth, being{ Ver. 11. Proprio judicio condemnatus, autokatakritos.|} condemned; or, condemned by his own judgment, when his ignorance cannot be a sufficient plea for him. (Witham) --- Other offenders are judged and cast out of the Church by the sentence of the pastors of the same Church. Heretics, more unhappy, run out of the Church of their own accord; and by so doing, give judgment and sentence against their own souls. (Challoner)
