For there must be also heresies among you, that they who are approved may be made manifest among you.
All Commentaries on 1 Corinthians 11:19 Go To 1 Corinthians 11
Vincent of Lérins
AD 445
It is as if the apostle meant that the authors of heresies are not instantly rooted out by God, in order to make manifest those who are approved, that is, in order to make evident to what degree each one is a steadfast, faithful and firm lover of the orthodox faith.
