On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

They were not forced into houses, as good Christians often were by persecution; but they of choice crept into houses, to insinuate themselves into the affections and good opinion of people, and so to draw them over to their party.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

of this sort--Greek, "of these," such as were described (2Ti 3:5). creep into--stealthily. laden with sins-- (Isa 1:4); applying to the "silly women" whose consciences are burdened with sins, and so are a ready prey to the false teachers who promise ease of conscience if they will follow them.
