'Sect' in the Bible

For we have found this man to be a plague, an agitator among all the Jews throughout the Roman world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes!

But I confess this to you: I worship my fathers’ God according to the Way, which they call a sect, believing all the things that are written in the Law and in the Prophets.

But we would like to hear from you what you think. For concerning this sect, we are aware that it is spoken against everywhere.”
