519. Violation of the Word is committed by people in the Christian Church who adulterate its good and truths, and this is done by those who separate truth from good and good from truth. It is done as well by those who mistake appearances of truth and fallacies for genuine truths and defend them. And so, too, by those who know truths of doctrine from the Word and live evilly. Likewise by others of a similar character. There is a correspondence between these violations of the Word and of the church and the forbidden classes of people enumerated in Leviticus 18.
