SEV Biblia, Chapter 3:10
El hombre hereje, despus de una y otra correccin, deschalo;
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Titus 3:10
Verse 10. A man that is a heretic] Generally defined, one that is obstinately attached to an opinion contrary to the peace and comfort of society, and will neither submit to Scripture nor reason. Here it means a person who maintains Judaism in opposition to Christianity, or who insists on the necessity of circumcision, &c., in order to be saved. This is obviously the meaning of the word heretic in the only place in which it occurs in the sacred writings. After the first and second admonition, reject] Labour to convince him of his error; but if he will not receive instruction, if he have shut his heart against conviction, then-burn him alive? No: even if demonstrably a heretic in any one sense of that word, and a disturber of the peace of the Church, God gives no man any other authority over him but to shun him, paraitou. Do him no harm in body, soul, character, or substance; hold no communion with him; but leave him to God. See the notes on Acts v. 17; xxiv. 14, where the word heresy is particularly explained.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 10. A man that is an heretic , etc.] An heretic, according to the notation of the word, is either one that makes choice of an opinion upon his own judgment, contrary to the generally received sense of the churches of Christ, and prefers it to theirs, and obstinately persists in it; separates from them, forms a party, and sets himself at the head of them, whom he has drawn into the same way of thinking with himself: or he is one that removes and takes away a fundamental doctrine of Christianity, which affects particularly the doctrine of the Trinity, the deity, and personality of Father, Son, and Spirit, and especially the doctrines relating to the person, office, and grace of Christ; one that brings in, or receives damnable doctrines; speaks or professes perverse things, and draws away disciples after him; or is among such disciples: for though schism and heresy do differ, and every schismatic may not be an heretic, yet every heretic is a schismatic; he makes a rent in the doctrine of Christ, and makes parties and divisions in his church; and such are not always to be contended and disputed with, but to be avoided and rejected: after the first and second admonition reject ; have nothing to do with him; have no society with him; admit him not to private conversation; and eject him from church communion, after he has been publicly admonished twice by the order of the church; for this is not to be understood of private admonition, by a particular person or persons; as in the case of private offences, ( Matthew 18:15,16) but of public admonition, in the name of the church. An admonition with the Jews did not continue less than seven days ; some say thirty; that is, there were so many days before it was out, or between one and another.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 8-11 - When the grace of God towards mankind has been declared, the necessit of good works is pressed. Those who believe in God, must make it their care to maintain good works, to seek opportunities for doing them being influenced by love and gratitude. Trifling, foolish question must be avoided, and subtle distinctions and vain inquiries; nor shoul people be eager after novelties, but love sound doctrine which tend most to edifying. Though we may now think some sins light and little if the Lord awaken the conscience, we shall feel even the smallest sin heavy upon our souls.

Robertson's NT Word Studies
3:10 {Heretical} (hairetikon). Old adjective from hairesis (haireomai, to choose), a choosing of a party (sect, #Ac 5:17) or of teaching (#2Pe 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 #1Ti 4:7; 5:11. Possibly an allusion here to Christ's directions in #Mt 18:15-17.
