EMULATIONS Emulation is the desire to copy others and to equal or excel them. It is a spirit of rivalry and a form of jealousy. This passage in Galatians is the only reference in the Bible where the word is used in this manner.
SEDITION Sedition is the stirring up of unrest or discord. This passage on the works of the flesh is one of the few where this term is used in the Bible.
HERESIES Heresies are beliefs contrary to the Word of God. They are opinions of man which are in error and lead to division in the church. Heresies are characteristic of false prophets:
But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies... (II Peter 2:1)
